After DS1's birth I felt like I could run a marathon! I felt awesome even though I had been labouring since the wee hours and well into the day. So I walked back to my room after his, DD1's and DS2's births. I had a retained placenta after DD2 so I was wheeled back in on a bed after being in theatre to remove it. I was very delicate walking around after her birth as my stomach was very sore.
i walked from the birth room to my other room but i was already in there for a whole 24 hours lol and i had my parents to help me move all my stuff so i could carry DS
With DS I had an epidural top up after birth so they could stitch me up, so I needed a wheelchair ride back to my room. It was so awkward as I could not even move my legs.
With DD I had a ton of stitches and was really weak and dizzy so after I was helped into and out of the shower I was wheeled back to my room.
hobbled very slowly to my room...I had an epi and stiches and was sooo sore! MIL helped me have a shower, must admit I'm a bit embarassed she saw me in that state! she was there for the birth so saw everything, and then helped me shower (well pretty much washed me all over!) because I could hardly move I hurt so much!
