Finally, Graces Birth story. (long)

[beckoes]

When i wrote my birth story the other night i was feeling a bit low about things after talking about it with a friend and thought writing it out would help me feel abit better.
Ive just re-read it and it sounds quite negative. Im proud of myself for how i did for the first part and after and my DH is always telling me how amazingly i did and how exhusted i was when i had the Epidural...but im sure every woman is exhusted by labour.
There are so many inspirational stories on here about labouring with confidence and i hope next time i can learn from them!!

I think you did an awesome job Beck! You did what you needed to do to get through it, sounds like it was very intense and everything that happened afterwards must have been scary I think you kept it together really well.
By the way, if it makes you feel any better I still have a numb spot on my toe which I have had since I had DD and i didn't have an epidural so maybe that wasn't the reason for it...
You did great - and Grace is divine

Oh Bec, your story has brought me to tears

You did an amazing job and to deliver your baby girl , and then go through surgery without being under a GA, WOW! Thankyou so much for sharing, one of my Baby Buddies!!! Grace is just the most adorable little girl, just adorable!

I held DD for a couple of minutes on my belly before she was whipped away and I didn't get to hold her for another 15 hours, so I completely understand the fear of seeing your child for such a short amount of time and then they are no longer where they should be

Thankyou for sharing xxoo

What a well written birth story, and something to share with your daughter when she is older.
I think you have coped very well with what you went through, and you have a beautiful daughter to show for it.

Good luck for next time
