    Hi ladies,

    Just had my one week check at 9dpo, my left looks amazing, perfectly healed and super neat, my right looks battered and bruised and a bit angry and was oozing a bit.

    The nurse said it’s not infected so I don’t need antibiotics but to keep an eye out for bleeding or excessive oozing.

    I haven’t been signed off to drive or to shower yet. I have to go back on the 26th for a further check.

    I’ve got to admit I’m a bit worried, I am an anxiety head anyway but I’m panicked it’s getting infected. It doesn’t help that I didn’t have support from 3 dpo and have had to look after the house and the three kids on my tod as my husband has been away since Monday.

    Has anyone else had similar? All of see on here are posts about girls getting signed off to shower at 7 days post op. Two more weeks is a long time to wait 🙁

    At least we know there’s two of us in this boat Chelsie.

    I know it’s because I’ve been doing too much. I’m going to try to focus on eating better this week and not doing so much housework.

    Is it only one of yours that isn’t right too?

    No she didn’t say anything was wrong with them my boyfriend said there was no fluid or anything. Think it’s because I only had glue on the outside and had strapping on for a week. They’ve not oozed at all x

    Ive seen kids of ppl can’t shower for couple weeks, maybe go to your Dr and ask if you can have antibiotics to be safe coz Ur panicking about it, if you get a course it will fight anything that could be lurking in there xx

    This is what it looks like

    I asked the nurse if I should possibly extend the antibiotics as I finished them today & she said no but if it started leaking heavily to call her.

    I’ve only just finished the antibiotics today so I’m likely just being an anxiety moron. Lol. I do have more of the same antibiotics in my medicine chest in case I end up poorly over the weekend.
