Congrats fluffycat! I'm always amused by how inaccurate the measurements are - my bump was small for dates and my baby was 8lb 4.
I shouldn't be posting this here as we've all had our babies, but if I put it elsewhere the June mummies might not see it - how is everyone getting on? My little man is 2.5 weeks old and I am the most tired I have ever been. I'm finding motherhood so much more difficult than I could ever have imagined - mostly because of the tiredness, I feel like I could manage great if I could only get more sleep! That said, it is also the best thing I have ever done and so rewarding.
For the people who had vaginal deliveries - how has your recovery been? I had a straightforward delivery and a second degree tear, but 2.5 weeks on I'm housebound as I have pain in my pelvis/vagina if I stand for longer than 5 minutes, and a sensation that my insides are going to come out. The midwife and the GP both say that there's no prolapse and I should "give it time" but I'm going a bit crazy at being so physically restricted. Pre-pregnancy I was fairly fit and active. Has anyone experienced similar?? (I naively thought after a vaginal delivery I'd be up and about as normal immediately afterwards!!)
