I forgot to mention that I did have a down-side to my c-s. I truly believe that my ability to breast-feed my DS was compromised by my having had a c-s. My milk took ages to come in and DS was a "steak and chips" kid from the start and I had to suppliment from day 2 with formula. I breast-fed and formula-fed him for 10 weeks and then after 2 bouts of mastitis started weaning him off the breast. I just never produced enough milk for him. I'm fully aware that that could happen again with this bub but I think I'll be better prepared this time - last time it all came as a bit of a shock. Just assumed that big bbs meant I could breast-feed forever .
