SUSE!!!! you sneaky girls!!!!!!

Sarah - after having 2 emergency c/s with the first 2 I wanted to take control over our next one with V.

I have to have a GA due to make problems and not being able to get the epi or spinal needle in my back.

We had written into our notes that Jed is to be near so he can have the 'baby' as soon as she was born. I was to have my baby and husband in recovery as soon as I awoke, groggy or not and I wanted skin to skin contact so we could bond and I could attempt breast feeding.

V's birth was the most beautiful out of all my children because of it.
I went into labour and as my pelvis is twisted due to a work place injury I am unable to give birth naturally . I begged and begged and honestly it does me no good cause no baby can come out that shoot. Labour started at midnight...V was born via GA emergency c/s at 3.40am.
I woke at 4.30 amish and had Jed standing next to me in recovery and handed me V. The midwife was with us and the 3 of us were crying like dorks. She attatched straight away and snuggled in as if I had just birthed her 5 mins before hand.
We had asked for her to be unwashed so I could have 'that' natural sent and feel with her and it was wonderful.
I had NO PAIN after the c/s what so ever. Honestly..nothing.

Yet I planned number 4 c/s with M and it was nothing to what I wanted no photo's in theater, no skin on skin afterwards, no baby straight away, no breast feeding...just me sitting up smiling that I had had my baby but crying because he was so sick and all I wanted to do was hold him. I must of looked like a craze woman...big shiat eating grin yet tears streaming down my face and sobbing. Ahh the drugs..I'll blame it one them.

I think yourve choosen the perfect time Sarah to plan it out. I really think you need to write down everything that you want, take things from here and stuff from there. That way you wont forget anything at all. Try taking things you wnated and didnt get out of your other birth's and make sure you put them down and work from there.

Oh and another thing....we told people our c/s was the day AFTER the actual date because you need that first day for yourselves.

honey.....Im so excited your expecting another beautiful addition to your family.
