Pre op appointment

Would also like to know! I know you get given meds to take, they do a urine test and MRSA swab sometimes w blood test.

Mine was scatty, wasn’t even with a midwife. I had an emergency one last time so I found it all overwhelming.

She told me where to go on the day, what time to get there and the ward number etc. Parking pass for 3 days from the section date. Omeprazole to take before the op. x2 drinks to take before the op. Body wash to use the night before and in the morning that’s antibacterial to help prevent MRSA. I had x2 swabs for MRSA and a blood test. But it was quite overwhelming to take it all in, luckily they give you a sheet with all the info on x

It’s quite quick. You get mrsa swabs and a blood test and a conversation about when to come in etc which you might have already had with someone else. They also redid my height and weight for drug calculations. They give you some medicine to take the night before and in the morning and that’s basically it. It’s a good time to ask anything you’re unsure about, but it’s quite short.
