Yooouuuu, my dear, are a TROOPER! 'It's not that bad' after nearly two hours of pushing, and over 24 hours of labour (technically)? What a freakin' CHAMP you are, girl!! So proud of you Kailey is such a very pretty little baby, I feel so privileged to have been able to check out pics so soon She's just lovely, like her beautiful mama (although she has daddy's fair hair!).
You did an amazing job thundering on for so long - what a day! My first labour was four hours from start to finish and I remember bursting into tears about two hours in when the midwife told DH and I the baby 'probably wouldn't be here until around 6pm' (it was midday when she said it!)!! How did DP go throughout? Hope he's keeping your feet up and taking care of everything else for you while you enjoy those wonderful newborn snuggles I'm glad everyone's settling in well, you deserve to enjoy every precious moment as you've worked VERY hard and been through so much to get to this point Well done hun!!
She was born posterior i knew she would be but i'm very proud of myself for being able to do it. Looking back i can't believe how long i went without any pain relief. I had both DP and my mum there with me the whole time, they were great. Whenever i screamed they would tell me to breathe and to focus on that, most the time i would cry "i cant do this" to which they would say "you are doing this and you're doing great". At times he got emotional he hated seeing me in so much pain and not being able to help.
Kailey is doing really well. Taking to her bottles very well now. Guzzeling them down and feeding every 2/3 hours.
