Hi ladies, hope you are all well, it's been a bit quiet in here lately.
Lis, I had a quick peak at your other thread about how the leakage has stopped. Hope all is well with you. Did you ring the hospital to see what they thought about it anyway?

Well, had our OB appointment on friday. He was running a little bit late, but that's cool, so were we! Said my BP was pretty good, didn't ask what it was though. He did a scan and took some measurements, said bub is about 3 pound at the moment, and he thinks somewhere around 7 pound at birth...how cute! He asked us if we knew what we were having, as he was doing the scan and came across bub giving us a big flash of his bits and he was worried that we might have seen it all and we didnt know. Once we said we knew, he went back and showed us our little flasher. Hope the little bugger decides to keep his legs closed when out in the world lol! My son is embarrasing me already!

He was fine with me having to go to the GP about the infection, and said it was something that usually happens and he was fine with what they gave me.

We had a chat about the c/s again. I asked if I will have a catheter and he said yes, I asked if it will be put in before or after the spinal and he said after! So a big woohoo there, as I was worried they would do it before. DH's big important question was how cold will it be in theatre lol. He said they will give us some time to cuddle and bond, but they will send bub back to my room with DH, while I go to recovery for a little while.

He also said the catheter will stay in for the first night, but if I really want it can be taken out, but he reckons, leave it in, stay in bed for the night and send bub to the nursery while I have something to help me sleep. He reckons, 1st time mums are a bit iffy about sending bub to the nursery, but 2nd time mums know it's ok to send them off so they can get some rest. He said they will bring bub to me for a feed whenever he wants one, then take him back to the nursery after. How awesome! Not wanting to sound like a bad mum with what I just said above... but I was worried about getting about the first night all by myself, so am quite happy with it all.
He told us the catheter will come out the next day so I can have a shower and all that.
I asked how long I have to stay afterwards and he said he likes us to stay for 5 days!! OMG, there is no way I could stay that long! He asked when I wanted to get out, and I said well, bub will be born on the monday, can I leave Thursday? He almost fell out of his chair, I think his jaw hitting the table stopped him. He wanted to know if we were heading home straight away, so I told him we would be staying for another week with my parents. He said we will see how I am going, and if everything is good, then he might let me home on the Thursday.

Next appointment is in 3 weeks, and they had to triple book us in, so we will be in for a long wait, as well as DH finishes nightshift that morning, then we drive for 2 hours to get there, then we will have to wait. Made a joke to DH that maybe we should pack a lunch for us while we wait. I see plenty of coffee and red bull for DH that day

Sorry for the long post! Will catch up with you all tomorrow
