Barb - I had a 16 hr posterior labour, with an epidural and after getting to 8 cms had an emergency C sect due to Failure to progress and Bella's head being stuck at an angle and not coming down. Well thats what my birth notes say.
I had her with me straight after my c-sect and she got skin to skin contact - but I had lost a fair bit of blood and I was shaking fairly badly due to the epi - so probably wasnt the best start! I used the LC's at the hospital but they actaully scared me and were quite rough - I was on the elect pump every 2 hrs to try and get my milk in but it just never came and by day 3 Bella was fully FF.
I guess all those factors played their role. I am hoping for a VBAC this time around and to successfully BF.
