Hello, am back from being in hospital - again!

Well had a bit of a nightmare, my section wound got infected - they reckon it was already infected when I left hospital - so had to go back into hospital to be given IV anti-biotics and ended up being in for six days!

James stayed with my husband as I was a bit worried about him catching something on the ward - super paranoid I know!

Its so lovely to be home again, am really hoping that will be the end of my run of bad luck!

James is fab, he only gets up once in the night and seems to like his routine of three hourly feeds which is good.

  • Oh bless, what a nightmare you've had! It must have been horrible to have been parted from James. Fingers crossed it's all plain sailing for you from her on in. (I've been eating Manuka honey in porridge, as the honey has anti bacterial properties to try and prevent any probs with my episiotomy stitches and so far it seems to be working - might be worth a go) xxxx
  • Welcome home sweetie - hope you are well - sounds bloody dreadful - wishing you lots of good luck from now on you certainly deserve some.
    Hugs

  • Oh Jem you poor soul, I was so worried about my wound getting infected as my neighbour had a C-Section 2 years ago and the same thing happened to her.

    I am so glad you are on the mend and now home.

  • Sounds like a nightmare hun, hope it heals up properly now. That must have been heartbreaking for you knowing he was at home and you were in hospital missing out on spending time with him. Your lucy your other half could cope with him, im not sure mine would have been able to.

    So glad your feeling better now

  • Thanks girls, I am soooooo glad to be home. Being away from James was awful and it was such an emtotional time. My hubby brought him to the hospital for visits but it wasnt the same really.
