    I was distraught when they took the cathatar off / out of me after my emerge c-section. Meant i actually had to get up.

    I had a topped up epidural for emerg. c/sec with DS. I was dead from the waist down for the next 24 hours, then a nurse came and said she'd come to remove the cathater. I wasn't even aware I had one - it didn't occur to me that i'd been on my back for 24 hours and not needed to wee!! :rotfl:

    ooh - just a quickie post. Someone on teh last thread was saying about changes in skin colour/ freckles. Well I got asked the other day by a neighbour if we went somewhere sunny over easter (nope - centre parcs at Longleat - so spent all time indoors!) - my face has exploded with freckles - probably the amount I had as a teenager (have redhaired father so I was quite freckly with brown hair with red tones). It's weird! (although I think it makes me look younger - which is good, as I feel like a haggard old bag!! :D:D)

    jha= only a little further than you - i am so nervous i can't even say my edd out loud! Once get passed the scan i will be shouting from the rooftops!
    As for telling the OH .. we were not planning and on the saturday before i did the test we went out and i stuck my head in sand and drunk and smoked. Then Sunday i woke with a start and guilt and finally did the test. Then i waited in bed in shock for hour while my husband was snoring! And yes when he finally awoke he was in shock too. Infact i think we both still are!

    Can I please call on your experience and whether anyone managed to have a UTI when pg but without the usual symptoms e.g. buring when peeing etc? I have a docs appointment tomorrow about it, as sometimes I am getting pains in the kidney region and after a pee sometimes and occasionally it has been a bit cloudy looking, but no burning like I have had before and the other night I had to go straight after just going etc. Just wondered......thanks :)


    hi lizzie, ive had 3 utis this pg, none with burning, one with slight pain, one with major pain and one they told me about from urine sample. they will do a dip test, i think i remember barbie pink being bad :p

    No in any way - hence the shock. And i start a new job on Tuesday. Hubby came up with a good point we have close friends who tried for years before something happened so even though the timing is wrong we should be pleased with our accident. I think i just need a bit longer .. my mind is like it is happening but it is not!

    I was the same although I was in bed for 2 full days after as I got an infection in the cut !!

    I guess it should have dawned on me but everyone was too polite to mention it !!
    I only found out it was there when one of the nurses came to change the bag :o
