I was told not to have any sexual experiences..lol not even anything that may be slightly nice..I had bleeding at 30 weeks and the first thing my obst said "I told you not to do anything!" I told him we hadnt since the IVF transfer. They are all different, Good luck for Wed, I'm sure it will go fine. As for all the checkups to be honest after 30 weeks I was so relaxed thinking that any change would of had to of been picked up by now and dreaded the hr to the obst office.
Hi ladies
Well everything seemed to go well on Wed, apart from the fact that they put me under a GA and I was quite sick! I had a fair amount of cramping Wed/Thurs but has settled down now, still have a little spotting but otherwise wouldn't know much has changed. They told me I wasn't to lift anything heavier than a newborn so it is going to be a difficult 6 months ahead with a toddler, but if it keeps this munchkin safe it is all well worth it! I am still a bit apprehensive about getting an infection, but at least I feel like we have done our best. I am taking pro-biotics and cranberry juice everyday to try and keep any bacteria away (whether that helps or not who knows).Thanks again for your support!
I am surprised they didn't give you any antibiotics though to help the prevention of infection? will you have weekly or fortnightly monitoring, swabs etc?
Oh they did give me antibiotics in theatre but not on a regular basis, and they have decided against the swabs as apparently they are not overly accurate, so it is more if I feel anything different to come straight in. I will go over it all again when I go back on Tues for a checkup. My next scan will be at 18 weeks and if there is no problem indicated he seems to think I don't need constant monitoring. That being said, I will be pushing for at least another scan around 22/23 weeks as that is when things started to go wrong last time, and maybe another a month later.
Great to hear it went well Helen - like you said, at least you know now that you have done everything you can to try and help this pg.
I was sick after the GA too but I'm not sure if it was the GA or the morphine that set me off as I had had a GA with my D&C in May and was fine. At least it doesn't last long hey?!
Did you get told anything about swimming and bathing by any chance (as in, being allowed or not)?
I too was given no antibiotics after & have had no swabs and all has been fine.
Good luck at your checkup
