Nic - it was probably because I'd had some water and not really fasted before the caesar like you would with an elective.... probably a mixture of things too. I was nervous, scared and very tired... I'd been in pain for 5 days (probably in labour for the previous 2 but we'll never know).Eew at being sick, that would've been awful for you. Was it a reaction to something you were given for the procedure?
We missed out on the immediate skin-to-skin contact too... tho I did get to BF in recovery but only one side for 15 minutes. She was then taken to Special Care because her blood sugar was low and they didn't have the staff to monitor her and help me with her overnight (something I am angry about now but didn't care much at the time). I was pretty spaced out that first night... I reckon I was a little in shock and a little affected by the drugs. Things will be different next time, that's for sure!
