Mistakes by Doctor Mommy to Learn From.

No one is born perfect, Nor are doctors, Nor am I an exception.

Being mommy is an inexpressible joy but dear mommies we need to be joyous 

within limit.

First 48 hrs post Cesarean section, I had to take care of myself as there were numbers of people taking care of my champ,

• I was given head low position i.e Head end of cot bit lower than leg end so as to avoid suffering from Spinal Anesthesia for 1st 24 hrs.

• Was on IV fluids & IV antibiotics for 48 hrs.

• Was advised plenty of liquids from 2nd day of surgery.

• Complete rest.

Being a doctor I knew about it, but being a new mommy I couldn't recollect it because of being over joyous & made the same mistake which all do.

• I got up from this position to pamper my baby & talk to relatives.

• At night time, I found my veinflon out so asked nurse to remove it,as ultimately I was going to be shifted on tablets from next morning.

• Couldn't take much liquid even.

So many mistakes because of being over joyous, for which I had to pay a heavy price.

         3rd day when I was going to get discharged,I had developed Spinal headache. Headache even on raising or moving my head, standing was just impossible. Nor was I able to feed my baby, nor was I able to hold him.

            My Gynecologist entered with a big smile on his face to permit my departure but his smile turned into a good scold when I told him about my headache with tearful eyes.
His words were less of anger & more of care & concern so I being a good student than pulled up my sleeve to follow his instructions.

• Got myself prick again to start my injectable fluids,

•  Again my head low & leg up

• No movements just rest on bed

• No visitors allowed, Just the newly formed Trio of Bittu, Chin2  &  Kittu. (Binny,Chintan & Kartavya)

As a result of my sincere efforts I was completely fine within few hours & by evening was permitted for discharge.

I had entered hospital premises in a fancy look so how could I leave it in boring attire, 

So I wore a beautiful floral gown, with black mascara & rose lips celebrating my new designation of Mommy.

Every problem can be solved, but Avoiding to raise one by proper precaution, is rather a good option.

These are the mistakes made my doctor mommy,hope it would be a lesson for the new ones.

Giving birth is the biggest achievement which require adequate care & rest to enjoy every bit of it.

                                                                                  Enjoy your motherhood.
