    So, chat with our midwife today.
    First, she reckons if DD had come down with teh normal presentation, then i might not have needed an epis, so there's a chance I might birth without being cut in future. yay.
    Second, she says homebirth with the program is probably out of the question after such a big pph. Maybe we could do a domino birth. It wouldn't be for a few years anyway, so who knows where we'd be by then. A little bit bummed (cos yeah, already thinking about the next one )
    Stoked, how big was your pph?
