Hi all
I am 35 weeks and am having a planned c/s due to various reasons.
I had an emergency c/s with my last child and ended up with a really bad infection.
I have been reading a c/s book written by a couple of USA mums that states that they give you a post-partum antibiotic in your drip while you are still on the table to combat any infections and that is continued for a few days after. Does anybody know if they do that here? I am terrified of getting another infection, the last one nearly killed me.... literally!
Also I was wondering when they normally book you in for the planned c/s some people say it is 38 weeks others are saying they will let you go to 39. Nerves are setting in any advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks xx
