Seriously this may be TMI so if your squeamish I'm shut your eyes and run away now....

Also not sure if I've posted in the correct area so mod's feel free to move!

So I've been a bit sore *downstairs* the last day or so and attributed it to my stitches, however today it's been so bad I could hardly sit down so I got out the mirror for a bit of a squizz and found a HUGE abscess!!!! I can't believe I didn't even notice this coming up and now I'm really scared I'm going to have to go and have it drained in hospital.

I've had an abscess drained before so I know they'll probably keep me over night, put me on antibiotics and it's likely the would will need to be packed daily, not to mention being extremely uncomfortable.

Our DS is only 5 weeks and is BF'ing, I'm worried about having to leave him for the night and if it's going to effect our feeding which we've worked SOOO hard to establish.

Going to see Doc tomorrow and I'm praying that they can give me an antibiotic to clear this up that wont effect feeding.

I'm so upset that this has happened as we were finally getting on track with feeding & settling and I'm so worried this is going to set us right back. Especially as I know DP, as much as he tries, just isn't confident in settling DS and looking after him by himself.

Sorry to off load such gross info, just needed to get it out instead of sitting hear worrying about it.
