DD1 I was wheelchaired over with a catheter and all the rest after having a severe PPH. Couldn't get out of bed for 24 hours minimum after the birth and it suuuucked, I still had two cannulas (sp?) in my arm and reeked of assorted fluids despite a nurse giving me a wipe down with a wet flannel It was so disgusting, laying there in my own filth with no pants on for 27 hours

DD2 I gave her a feed before DH cut the cord, then when she fell asleep I handed her over for weight and measure, hopped out of bed and grabbed my bag and hit the shower. Then I toddled (I was a bit sore!) over to my room and found breakfast waiting for me, wolfed it down and had a nap It was awesome, I went home that afternoon.
