surgery thursday
Like the title states, i have surgery thursday. Its outpatient, to remove the right lobe of my thyroid, due to a nodule thats growing.
You can do it! I had gallbladder surgery when my son was a baby, and it wasn't fun to have to wake at night to pump every couple of hours, but it was doable. I also took Vicodin for the first day or two, and was told it was safe but could make him drowsy. Just make sure you tell everyone you're a nursing mom. I believe there is a certain med given during surgery that can impact milk supply, so they'll do an alternative if they know you're nursing. All turned out just fine. You've got this.
Thank you! I planned to ask if everything was safe, and how long to wait. So i will make it plenty clear i am nursing!
Him being so young is a blessing and a curse, bc my supply isnt established, so i should still respond to the pump fine, but if i dont it will dwindle quickly lol
I plan on calling my family doctor to double check what is safe pain med wise, too, just to be safe. I believe i was prescribed vicodin after my last delivery, so hopefully that will be okay again!
