Postpartum recovery

Last pregnancy weight was 92kgs approx.

1 week pp i was 85.5kgs.

2 weeks pp i was 84.5kgs.

3 weeks pp im 83.1kgs.

Postpartum recovery with Liam has been better in many ways than with Cadell, but also worse!

Initally i felt better straight after delivering (went home 7 hrs after birth!) due to fast and uncomplicated delivery.

But then i started having horrible pains in my stomach ( felt like labour pains but constant) which eased only with panedene forte. Went to drs and he did tests, warned about a pp hemorrage, and i had to go back to drs in a few days for results. Ended up with an infection called endometritis. So i was on two strong antibiotics for that.

On top of all this (the unterine infection made my tummy very sore and bleeding worse etc) i have now developed bronchitis i think. Liam has been really good though.

I am just really looking forward to feeling well again and up to doing things. I want to be fit and healthy, dont mind so much about the sleep depravation (although hopefully Liam will just continue to do longer stretches as he has been the angel!) just want to feel like i can pick up Cadell without damaging something!

On Friday the 20th March I had my 40+2 appointment, where they did a stretch and sweep and the Dr said he thought I would go into labour that night or the next day as I was 3 cm dilated already, my waters were bulging and everything was looking favourable. I had some contractions Saturday morning but they fizzled out. Then on the Monday I had more contractions and bub wasn't moving as much so we went in to be monitored. She had a few decelerations but everything was fine in the end. They did another stretch and sweep and I had to go back in the morning for my 41 week appointment. They booked my induction for Friday 27th and I was to ring at 6 am to find out when to go in. I rang and was told there was no beds and they would ring again in the afternoon to let me know. In the afternoon they ...
