I left the hospital keeled over in pain and with a sick bag in one hand a bunch of flowers and my bag in the other. Little did I know at that point that I was suffering from a postpartum puncture headache because of the epidural my c/s wound was not even registering in my mind at that point. My husband carried DS.

Readmitted the next morning after a night of pure hell dealing with my new baby and my illness. 3 days later my second exit from the hospital was solo, my husband came to get me while my Mum looked after DS. Not the nicest introduction to motherhood.
