sorry ive not been on in a while folks, dont know if anyone had noticed though :)

Anyway, my little boy finally made his appearance on 6th october :D Was a really rough ride after being booked in to be induced on 4th oct but then there were no rooms in delivery side of hospital so had to wait until a room was free to carry on!!

Since then ive been quite traumatised by the experience (nothing went to plan, my epidural failed & i had a dr that only focuses on baby & not mother get involved to finally make baby arrive - needed suction cap so she was very rough with me... oh & did i mention the little blighter was back to back all the way through labour?!)

I hope everyone is ok. Im shattered, breastfeeding is taking it out of me as little luke didnt take to it very well & at one point he was feeding every 20-30 mins for 10 mins for 12 hours!!! Thankfully its now calmed down a bit after a meeting with out local NCT breastfeeding councellor :)

Hopefully this motherhood lark will settle down a bit more in the weeks to come as well....
 
oh & when he finally arrived he was apparently at 40wks +15days :)
 
You poor thing :hug: I am pleased things are settling down a bit now for you but what a rough ride you had to go through to get there.
