I've had 3 c's now the first one was emergency under general and I really struggled with bonding and post partum blues. I didn't get to hold bub until the next day which really affected me.
Second time my baby was breech and I had an elective C with a spinal block, I got see her directly after she was born but didn't get to hold her or have her in recovery.
This time I got to hold Luca straight away and bond for hours, it was amazing, I can't stress enough how important it was. I didn't know until I experienced it just what I had missed out on with my other 2 births, it really does make a huge difference to your birth experience and your emotions.
