physically i felt exhausted, i had a vaginal birth with epidurial and forceps, including a episotimy(sp?) and stitches. Labour was about 16hrs.
Emotionally i felt over the moon to see this little person after all this time, but still a little shaken by the birth! My plan was no drugs and definately no forceps but had it all!
By day 2 or 3 i was having nightmares about the birth and feeling very disapointed in myself for not being stronger. I think i was upset that he had to be pulled from me instead of me pushing him out! but after a talk with the OB and DH i felt better.
I felt imeadiately connected to Myles and fell in love with my DH all over again.
Its true what they say about once the baby is in your arms you forget about all the pain!
