My 2 month old baby was diagnosed with an inguinal hernia a couple of days ago. He is being booked in for surgery to have it fixed this month. I'm a first time mum and find this all a bit scary. Just wondering if anyone else has been through the same thing or know what baby will be like after surgery?
james had a herina in his groin at 9 weeks old it was very scary as james was soo young and my frist baby tooo big hugs hun james was fine after his surgery he cried alittle and needed lots of hug and kissies he panadol regerley for a week after but he was more setteled and happy afterward big hugs hun
Thanks to both of you. It is a daunting thing. It is hard enough to get bubs sorted with the basics let alone deal with this sort of thing. Good to hear of someone who got through it ok. I too feel like he is just soo small and the thought of someone cutting him is just awful.
oh big hug to you....I had ella in hosp with pneumonia last year and that was bad enough. Plenty of hugs...lots of love and heaps of magazines for you...
honestly worst thing about it is bubs will sleep and be on the good drugs, you will be bored, not want to leave room to much as dont want to bring back infections etc to bubs....let people wait on you - it will be draining...we were there for 3-4 days and i was exhausted by end of it. I hope it all goes well for you and bubs...
we just have the old standard umbilical hernia here...the big tummy button one! LOL....
i know its very scary but just rember that bubs is in the best hands and wont be in pain thats what got me thur it oh that and my mum and dad we were allowed to go the day of his surgery but i did,nt feel right leaving so early so we stayed a extra day big hugs
Thanks Bombshell. Pneumonia - that sounds awful. Poor you and bubs. I think its the waiting now thats killing me. Plus we are edge because the hernia can strangulate apparently which is dangerous so I am forever checking it.
