It has a dull throbbing pain where it went in. I have taken a couple of panadol so hopefully that will dull the pain down a bit. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Yeah I was wondering about that too - I think you might want to enquire with your midwife as to whether or not you need a tetanus injection after your run in with the nail? I don't know whether they are safe when preggy or not, or whether there is something else they would get you to do. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Well my MW doesn't think I should have the injection but she said to ask my GP just to make sure. But on a public holiday I ain't wasting $50 to be told I can't have one. Where it went in is clean - still a little sore (but it did have a nail go in it so it should be) but not as bad as last night. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Just do Savlon cream and a plaster... hope it gets better soon, I can just see it now: waddle, limp, waddle, limp 
(Hope you don't mind the funny mood I'm in today Becks!) -------------  |

Nope it was slighty rusty but then that could have been my blood. I'll go by what my MW says for now just to save the $$$ and time going up to the public hospital. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Good idea Becks.... I meant to write savlon cream and a sticky in the meantime, in my post above. ie. until you get to see the Doc (I wouldn't have gone on a public hol either.) ------------- |

Well my nurse friend told me I shouldn't have a tetanus shot while pregnant, there isn't enough research to say if it s safe or not. The pain has gone away and I tried to have a good look at it before (huge tummy in the way and all) and I couldn't see all that much so it must be all good. My mum rang me back and told me I probably had my last tetanus shot in 1998 or 99 so I should be safe with it. If it gets worse i'll take a trip to the dr. I see my MW on Thursday so i'll ask her again about it if it gets sore. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
