The birth of Joshua Harrison (warning: very long!)

[Jellymaker]

Congratulations on doing so well and being so strong!

You did the very best that you could and your little boy is proof of your strength and efforts!

I hope the healing goes quickly and that when you look into your little man's eyes you forget all the bad and feel only love.

Well Done!

Bun I am so sorry that the birth didn't go the way you had planned. But I think you did an amazing job in very difficult circumstances.

I am so sorry your recovery was so painful, it's hard enough adapting with a new baby!

I hope you are on the road to recovery, both physically and emotionally

I hope that was cathartic writing that Bun, I knew you'd had a tough time, but nothing like that! How was your DH through all of it?

WRT doing #2, please keep on top of it, otherwise you could end up with a fissure like me, and that is no fun at all.

I hope you are on the road to recovery now and feeling a little better.

Oh WOW! What a amazing story, you did an AWESOME job

You are such an amazing mumma, and that is amazing that your little boy bo wasn't getting distressed, I really thought it was going to end in a Caeser

I hope your recovery becomes smoother

Wow, what a story! I'm so sorry the birth didn't go to plan for you, but I am so proud of all your efforts and your immense strength. You did so well! I hope your recovery speeds up and you're feeling like your old self soon. Thanks for sharing your story!

Thanks to all for reading my story and for your kind comments. It really was a pretty traumatic experience and not at all what I was expecting but I am coming to terms with it now. Luckily Josh is a gorgeous little boy and is no trouble at all and I am totally in love with him. I guess that helps!

Sequoia - I have just had my 6 week check up and I do have a fissure! Argh!! Just what I needed. I have been given some cream for it. Does it help? How is yours now?

What cream are you using? Rectogesic was the only thing that helped me but it's hard to combine with BF'ing. Mine wasn't treated til DS started sleeping through at 7 weeks, so I would feed him, apply cream, hope like hell the headaches associated with it wouldn't start before I fell asleep, and it would be out of my system by his first feed in the morning.

summerluven started a thread which I tried to find for you called - Anal Fissure, Lovely Dinenrtime Conversation Topic! That was a most helpful thread and lots of good suggestions in there too.

Good luck.
