Oh Sazz honey - congratulations on making a beautiful little girl - I'm so glad that she came out safe and sound even if she did give you what must have been a heck of a scare!
Oh and well done on the three km walk - you are doing ace! The emotions following any birth, but especially one that ends in emergency c/s, can be pretty full-on - don't be afraid to let that emotion release itself - talking it through can really help to process what you have experienced. I found that writing my birth story really helped me - it was an important part of the healing process.
Enjoy your lovely little Celeste!

I know what you mean Suse, yesterday is the only day that I haven't cried! Oh boy I was a mess for about 3 days in hospital, especially with a woman we knew from our antenatal classes labouring next door to us on day 3... really reminded me of what I had hoped for and the trauma that we got instead. I am getting better each day though. It isnt so much that I missed out on a vag birth but what it turned out to be instead that is the problem. It was the most scared I have ever been, scarier than 15months ago when DH had a nasty brain infection. Anyhow, I have to focus on what we got out of it in the end, not what could have happened. And we got a good one!!!
I think I spoke too soon re the sleeping. Celeste failed to grow during the last few weeks of preg. due to a failing umbilical cord, and is now powering up with her feeding. She was awake from 4.30am to 7.30am this morning and fed 3 times! I am finding the expressing a pain in the bum but she is giving the attachment a real go most days. Hopefully soon we will get it together.

oh welcome back Sazz - I'm so glad that you're back and have your gorgeous little girl with you - I'm sorry to hear that the finish was frightening but I'm sure you are well aware of how worth it, it really was - enjoy your baby moon.
PS - Hope she learns to attach real soon :) - we had the same stupid problem here but BJ was too lazy to give it a real good go - iykwim - I suppose I'll cut him some slack, he was close to a month early afterall ;) take care hun :hug:
