    hi girls
    MG - My wound opened up only 48 hours after leaving hospital.
    I started getting a fever within 24 hours of the surgery, and by day 2, i was asking why i was not being treated for it,, so they brought in a doctor to see me who immediately started antibiotics. But they stopped them when i left hospital, so i had a 3 day course (like that is going to fix an infection??) I often wonder if that caused me to not get my milk in till day 8 as well?
    So within 48 hours from ceasing the antibiotics, my wound sprung 3 leaks, approx 1cm to 1 inch each. They were classed as major oozing from the hospital, and the doctor who saw me there and treated me with more antibiotics said in his opinion, I was allergic to the disolving sutures used internally as i had staples on the outside. The leakage kept up for nearly 2 weeks, completely saturating the combine bandages, and my clothes many times a day. Once it sealed over finally,,,,, the leakage then burst forth (TMI WARNING) from my hooha!!!!! that continued for nearly another week.
    Since the surgery, my actual loss was minimal, and only lasted for a max of 2 weeks,,,, but since the would has completely closed,, i have had spoting every day since,, not sure if it is related or not?
    But yes, I do way to much on a daily basis,, but I am the only one to get these things done, so have no choice


    Oh, my hospital never offered a PCA with any of my c-sections either MG.I was just given the spinal for the surgery,, then nurofen, and panadol after that for 2 days, then nothing offered barr those stupid coloxyl tablet i really wish i had thrown back at them, as they gave both DS and myself major stomach cramping and pain,,,
