I've never had any injections either that I was aware of?? Not with either of my two c-sections.... Maybe there is something they give after the op instead? Like a different option? Like how you can have staples or stitches.... Or you can have morphine in a pump after your operation or 1 dose of long acting/slow release morphine....

I had them....they were nasty, it was a tiny little needle that they slapped into my belly, in a different spot each time so was covered with little bruises! Some put it in slow and some fast but either way it stung.

I had the injections as well...
I personally could not have gone home after 2 days - I could walk, but very slowly, and hunched over. If I had a toddler I'm not sure I would have been able to deal with them!!

I never had those jabs..
I had isabella at 1.03pm on the Thursday and went home On the sunday at midday.
I got transferred from the main hospital to the small maternity hospital the next day though, I wanted to get breastfeeding sorted out before i went home, other wise I would have gone home on the saturday as i missed Caden terribly 
It was very hard when i got home though, having caden running around and not being able to work very well etc, but I recovered really well with my second c section.

I had those injections, but I'm pretty sure I only had two of them. From all the other pains I had, those were pretty easy by comparison!
First time around I had Sam on the tuesday about midday and went home on Sunday, and this time I had Jamie on Wednesday night, went to River Ridge on the Saturday and came home on the Monday. For me personally, as much as I missed Sam I knew that once I was home that was it, there was no going back! Having a newborn baby is much easier than having a newborn baby AND a two year old all at once because I have found that once one goes to sleep, the other will wake up!
My midwife gave me a piece of great advice - 'Don't try to be a hero' and she was right. Take all the time you need, take all the painkillers that are offered to you, because even if you start to feel like the pain from your wound is going away, it comes back! And never be afraid to ask for help.

I think that is what helped me most Renee - taking the pain relief when it was offered. My MW told me it's far easier to stay on top of the pain (small doses more often) than to let the pain relief wear off and start from the beginning again (bigger doses less often). So so true!!

If one of you currently pregnant ladies could ask their mw what the deal is with why some dont get them that would be super... I am all curious now!
DH reckons I probably got them but dont remember!

I had the stupid jabs also. First 3 days were fine it didnt bother me but the last 2 were sooo painfull! I begged not to have the last one... but she bribed me with going home or not! haha. I didnt get bruises though.
I lost alot of blood during my c/s though and got told it had something to do with that... maybe not...
I was sooo ready to go home after day 2, but i stayed until day 5 for my own health and knowing if something went wrong i was in the right place. I guess once you have had the c/s you will know if you are feeling up to it or not. Will you have a good amount of support at home? With not bf you should be able to rest a bit more and others could do the feeding if you need to rest i guess.

Maybe it is, i lost 2 litres and had a transfusion of 2 bags... They were also worried i had a blood clot straight after and were going to put me under and open me up again to clean me out again but then they said they would do other things which included the jabs...
Sorry to thread jack....

Another who didn't have the jabs here, and I'm very curious about them now!
Like Melnel, my husband would probably tell me I had them and don't remember. I did feel like baby and I were poked and proded for the 48 hours after he was born.

Mine were all given in the evening at the same time (maybe it varies depending on when baby was born). Mine was a straight forward elective so i don't think I lost a lot of blood, but I dunno, maybe I did.

I didn't have them & I didn't lose a lot of blood...maybe that is the deciding factor...
