Conjunctivitis

I think my little girl has got conjunctivitis, has anyone else little one had it and how did you help it? I’ve been wiping down with warm water with cotton wool? Anything else?

Mine had his first bout at 1 week old, courtesy of my toddler 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ we ended up having to use antibiotics (drops, then ointment because drops didn't help). But if it's a mild case, wiping it clean as you do is probably going to be enough. If it persists, call your GP xx

Antibiotic drops from Dr helped

My boy had it I know it’s hard but try not let her rub her eye and then rub the other eye, it transfers really easily. I called my gp got antibiotic drops and it was gone within like two days (still finished the set days)

My little boy has had it for about 5weeks now, hes got cream from the doctors but nothing is helping

If you're breastfeeding you can try wiping them down with breastmilk, I've found that to be really effective

I took my little girl to the doctors and got eyedrops as both her eyes were stuck together after every nap and it was so uncomfortable for her! But warm water and Cotton pads are good! X

My little lady had it last month right after her big sister. Took her to the doctor's and they advised bathing with cooled boiled water and cotton wool as they try to avoid giving antibiotics if they can. Bathe for now and call doctors in the morning just to get it checked in case they think drops would be more appropriate.

It seems so rife, I don't remember hearing about it this much with my first (14 yrs ago)! 2 out of 5 of us in our little group have had it. One was baby but I think the other may have just been the mum!

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
