Hi everyone,
I gave birth on Sunday morning but baby was bigger than expected (9.6lb!!) so they had to cut me to get his head out. Also my placenta wouldn't come out so I ended up going under general anesthetiser and being taken to theatre for manual removal. I lost over a litre of blood so need iron tablets and daily injection to avoid blood clots.If that wasn't enough I think I have two external hemorrhoids 😢 I can't move around very well at all, I can't cough because it feels like everything will fall out! Trying to stay positive but the last 4 days have been quite full on and not what I thought my first labour would be.
I'm hoping someone might have some advice on how to cope with these changes to my body. I'm finding it emotional not being able to move for my baby properly ☹️
