Praying - not very well i am about the same as you - although not washed anything. Still got lots to get too (like a mattress for the moses basket and cot) on the other side though i still have at least 4 weeks even if they take me in early. I also have two uni assignments to do and my brain has turned to mush - which is my bigger problem, especially now i have been threatened with a section and everything is up in the air i can't seem to think about anything else but the baby.

I did have so many decorating plans and wanted to do all the boys rooms and our room before she arrived as you can't paint around little ones but with the back pain and spd i can barely walk let alone climb a ladder to decorate - still never mind i'm sure if worst comes to worst it will all still be there in 6 months or so.

Anyone any ideas what i should expect if i have a section - how immobile i am likely to be and for how long?

I hear you on that Mrs. P! I am in an accelerated class now and I have one assignment every week. My poor teacher has been getting them late every week but she has been so nice about everything. I only have 3 left to complete but so afraid she will come before I have a chance to complete the class which becomes more complex because university doesn't offer incomplete grades any longer.

I haven't had a section but all three of my co workers have. Basically you will not be able to lift anything other than the baby for about 8 weeks is what I am told. Everyone heals differently. Not to scare you but one of my co workers did something around the house (very light) and ended up with a open section wound so you do have to be careful.

Sorry to hear about your Granny Pearl and really hope all goes well with your daughter!

Mum23- that's awful news about your dad....really hope he can get the required treatment and then make a prompt recovery. It's a lot to handle being pregnant and 3 other kids to mind too.

I have had two sections and really you are out of sorts for the first two weeks. I was fitter after the second, but then the birth before was shorter. My first birth was over 12 hrs and the c section ended being full anesthetic so I was really knocked for 6 after all that. But you do need to give yourself 2 weeks of taking it relatively easy...as easy as you can with 3 other kids running around the house. Think I stopped the pain killers after 3 days with the second. Will be facing another in 5 weeks hoping to get the date tomorrow from the surgeon in the hospital. I have vicious sciatica but it comes and goes now...I heard that spd business is really very nasty. But at least you know the end is near (enough!) and then it will be all worth it when you hold your daughter!

Hi everyone!!! Just popping on - Hudson Aubrey Van Dorp was born at 8:46am. He's so precious. Weighed 7lbs 14oz which is EXACTLY what Ryder weighed! Nursed like a champ for the first time and has been napping since! Surgery went fantastic, I'll be getting out of bed this afternoon says the nurse. Everything has been great. So glad he's here and is healthy as can be. I just love him so much!
