Oh Sara - I am so thrilled for you and your DH sweet!! Little Grace is your precious pot of gold at the end of your rainbow - how rich are you!!! So happy you are finally a mummy!
Thankyou everyone for all your beautiful messages!!
We are home believe it or not. Came home yesterday late afternoon actually.
Am resting up and recovering, a bit sore from the labour and then the c-section. Was dissapointed I didn't get my natural birth but I really tried everything I could and for as long as I could so I'm just happy it's over now and proud of myself that I did everything I could. Will try to write my birth story up sometime! The Dr said everything was perfect and she was in the best possible position and everything, just couldn't get down far enough even after all that labour and good contractions and then trying the drip so it's possible she was just too big for me and I'm only small. But good news he said there's no guarantee that will happen again in the future and no reason I can't try for a VBAC.
Was feeling a little overwhelmed this morning, thought Grace wasn't feeding enough, and I was feeling sore all over, and I have some seriously sore nipples due to one night in hospital and one midwife who hurt me But my midwife came over this morning for an hour and checked everything and told me not to worry and that I have heaps of colostrum and my milk is already starting to come in which surprised her after the long labour and c-section and everything. She told me not to worry and said attachment was good but just to be sure has arranged for me to see a LC tomorrow after I see her again. So I'm feeling more confident now and taken care of.
Grace is so beautiful!! And I was right, a girl!! Very happy. Thankyou all for all your msg's!!!!
