ohhh im loving being a mummy.. all the troubles feel like a distant memory... and breast feeding is a doddle
one thing im not liking is suffering from c section... was on morphine in hossy now just paracetamol
feeling the pain now.. has healed wonderful though.. had dressing taken off yesterday and top skin already healed
one thing that scared me about c section was being so numb didnt feel any thing and didnt know they had started it.. then some one pointed out once i hear a hoover thing will be only seconds before baby is out.. then a second later i hear hoover then a sudden screech of a baby crying
i wasnt even aware i had been cut open yet.... and the emotions that flooded my mind i was in such shock felt like it wasnt happening to me.
and i certainly have lost all dignity from after c section being bed bathed head to foot. to some one scrubbing ur bits.. to some one changing ur sanitary pad every 1/2 hour all day
ohhh and having a catheter was painful to start but bloody brilliant at night when ur too cosy and cant be arsed with going to the loo hehehehe
also what was brilliant,,, the midwife that sat with me while i laboured all night was a midwife from hythe birthing centre so we had a good old chat while we waited for some thing to happen lol
she has been the perfect baby.. hardly cries. latched on straight away. and has a right cheeky character already..... just didnt think too much of the after care is hossy. even though i was on an emergency ward.. i had to remind MW's that my drugs were over due.. and even one tried to give me wrong drugs... i went for a walk with baby in my arms and MW told me off and ESCORTED me back to ward.. apparently im only allowed to push baby in cot... which is bloody heavy and painful straight after a c sction. and to top it off one MW asked if im sure my name is elaine.... cos in handover she had been told of my troubles and was expecting to see a really ill person passed out in bed... and i was sat in chair playing with baby happy as cud be lol oh well.
after all the ups and downs i dont care im just over the moon to have finally met her and that she is 100% perfect in every way. well worth all the pain too. just hope it dont last too long lol
thanks for all the replies.. i cant wait to see all ur babies pics and hear ur stories
love elaine, alana and dan XXXXX
