re: C-section and Infection..Twice!

Quoting Due with #2 in 01-2010:“ So you are actually sticking the guaze all the way down with the qtip? In all honesty. Yes, it hurts ... [snip!] ... it hurts like HELL, but it heals great if you do it. This stuff? This pic is of the wrong size, but it all comes the same...”

It sucks cause my tummy over laps the incision right now, not as bad as it did right after the surgery, but it needs to be lifted up a tad and aired out. I AM NOT looking forward to squirting this shit in my hole tomorrow am... I'm so sick of being in pain!

Im so sorry momma. These stories are why I am not having a repeat csection. I hope you feel better soon.

Quoting Due with #2 in 01-2010:“ Eeek, I would have thoght he would have you packing it. That is what my doctor did. I was 2 weeks PP. ... [snip!] ... how bad it is first. I had to have my hubby pack it for me, withthe back of the huge qtips pushing it in. Damn I was in pain.”

I know tell me "BOUT" it!!! This sucks!! and now I'm told to take it easy cause I realy haven't taken the time to rest after the surgery cause I'm at the hospital 3- times a day to be with my twins and feed. Going" Going" is what I do. Now I have to limit walking and driving. Going to my Doc's Mon is going to suck back to poking me..I;m not a weak person but mentally I don't have it in me to be strong for myself.. I have gone through so much these last few months I'm mentally drained!

Quoting Viktorya:“ I wish I didn;t open this. Im having a csection in a couple of months and now im freaked out”

Don't be freaked out I have had two c sections and both healed almost completely in a few days. No infection and very little pain.. I went back to work a week and a half after the twins and a week after the last baby. Everyone heals differently. And YES doing too much made me feel like crap...I agree

I'm 2 weeks pp today and mine opened up today too! I woke up and the front of my pants was soaked with whatever was oozing out of my incision. My hubby took me to the ER and they said i have cellulitus around a small area of the incision (it's bacteria and can be serious if not caught right away) and i have a superficial infection. They did the culture on me too. But then they took my steri strips off, pushed on it to squeeze out any fluid, took a needle and stuck it in various areas of the incision to draw out any more fluid. They then pulled it open slightly and packed it with gauze.   It hurt like a bitch! They didn't numb me or give me any kind of pain meds before doing all this. My husband has to repack the gauze twice a day pretty much till it heals.

OMGOSH!!!"" You poor thing!!! I feel for you on that girl, when he stuck the Q-tip in there twice to get the samples!! Well I don't think I have that, but I do have infection of some sort. I'm on Flagyl and Cipro for antibiotics. Then Vic's for pain meds. But at the same time I had an infection a few weeks ago two and was put on a different Anti.B

are you doing any better?
