I did chuckle at declaring a boy first, but then the rest of your story carried me away from that. I had no idea you had that much trouble after birth and as for the post-natal ward, I was just hoping it was my experience and not wide spread. Thankfully I had DH who rallied the birth cente MW's and met with the head of post-natal who herself apologised and said the sooner they got us home the safer we'd be! Thank you for sharing though - I'm still processing the part of my experience.
