When you walked out of the hospital for the first time ...

[Sterla]

We walked to the car, which was parked quite close to the side hospital entrance. I carried DS. This was I think 4 (or 5) days after a c/s. I didn't even think of doing things any differently.

It was the nicest and strangest feeling holding my DS, and having everyone looking and smiling as we walked by .

With DD1 we had the pram, and with DD2 I carried her. DD1 was so little, and I was scared to carry her for a long distance LOL and DH had his hands full with all the flowers. With DD2, I was a pro by that stage, and we left before anyone had a chance to give flowers/presents.

I walked from the labour ward to my room all 3 times.
Walked carrying them all to the car in the car park. Wasn't offered a wheel chair to leave. I didn't have c/s though.
