With my first son i was induced and had a normal vaginal delivery with just pethidine, after it i went into shock i hemorraged (spelling?) and my bp dropped i was hot and cold and kept falling asleep (the midwife and DH had to keep making sure i didnt pass out). I felt pretty washed out for a few weeks after due to the blood loss and clots, i should of had a transfusion after birth. Definately had the third day blues! When i pushed him out (came out in one push) and the midwife gave him to me the first thing i thought was 'oh my god its a baby!' i was just in awe of him i couldnt believe i had actually done it!
This time was totally different, went into labour on my own ended up using TENS and having gas and an epidural (labour was worse and longer, 10hrs compared to 4 first time...) and had vacuum to help him out. As soon as i looked down and saw him laying on my belly i burst into tears (AGAIN!) i was just so overcome with emotion that this was my little man! The bond was instant and being second time round i wasn't nervous like i was with Callum. I only had 3hrs sleep the nite before but i felt so awake and like i could do anything! It just felt so amazing even tho i said that was it no more kids, but now....
