Ahh, what better to read during a late night feed than a fantatic account of the arrival of a precious miracle bub!

I confess I've been waiting for this one and it didn't disappoint! Your labour sounded so fantastic - aren't sisters awesome? I had mine there for my DD's birth and similar to yours, she was a great help to me. She's even an Em like I think your sister is from memory!!

Huge congrats again and I hope you can continue to recover well from what happened after that!

[Catastrophic]

Well done, glad you are both here safe and sound xoxoxo

I know we talked about this yesterday, but I had no idea the after part was so bad. Well I knew it was bad, but not the extent Which makes me even more glad you're feeling a bit better.

First of all a big hug.

Thank you for sharing your story. I went through a similar thing with the after birth care on the ward - which was why I left hospital less than three days after a c-section. The stark contrast between care received in the Birth centre and the ward is cruel. Every shift I was given different advice on BF - got home and Alex and I worked it out.

You did it. Your amazing. She is beautiful!!

You did it. Your amazing. She is beautiful!!

I can't say it any better than that! Dusty it has been a long hard road, but it is wonderful that you finally have your miracle child.
I'm sorry it wasn't all as positive as the birth itself wishing you a speedy recovery so you can concentrate all your energy on enjoying your princess.
