Hi there! For us nothing went according to plan... I had every intervention imaginable... down to the c/s. I planned a completely natural labour/birth. The first few hours after surgery I was in shock, my jaw was clamped shut etc and I couldn't tell you what happened exactly other than Matilda fed straight away and attached perfectly first time around when I didn't even have the energy to stress about it! The recovery was hard the first 12 hours and then steady from then on. I don't handle drugs too well and the pain relief really made me disorientated and anxious. To the point where at 2am I was trying to pull out the drip... but after the morphine came out at 5am I was heaps better. Sore & sorry, but better, I was up and showered & walked around the room that morning. Once the drain & attachments came off the second day I was heaps better. Walking up & down the corridor at the hospital and that was about all. Its now 7 1/2 weeks later and I feel almost normal, lifting anything over 10kg is still scary, but thats okay... it does take time to heal!
