Hi all, welcome little O to the May group.

Sorry to hear that some of you have been dealing with mastitis etc. I've been v, lucky not to have experienced it, but then again I've always had problems with low milk supply, so that could be why (?) From what my friends have told me, it's meant to be excruciating and pretty awful.

I've been back in to hospy on Monday morning - had massive bleeding and clots etc. They weren't sure what was wrong, given there didn't seem to be an infection and i'd had a caesar and the report said that all of the placenta had been taken out. After an ultrasound on Wed, they found 3mm of 'retained product' Anyway, my obs wasn't keen on doing a D&C post natally as she said there were risks involved and I sure wasn't keen on going back to theatre.
They decided to wait and see what happens, given the bleeding has eased off.
In amongst all this, one of our dogs broke her toe, and her foot is now bandaged. I now have to put a plastic bag on her foot when she goes outside, so that it doesn't get wet. Yep - as though having a newborn baby and two pre-schoolers wasn't enough work!

I've also had to book DD in for an ultrasound for her hips, as the creases don't line up. Silly MCHN mentioned that it could be hips out or nothing or spina bifida. WHAT??? The lovely GP who I saw this week, said that he wasn't concerned about her and that the ultrasound is just to rule anything out. The receptionist when i booked her appt said that she would put it through as a bulk bill for me (thankfully, b/c we've spent $$$$ on scans for me and x-rays for the dog this week). Never a dull moment. At least DD is sleeping better today
