hotI, sounds like you we're amazing! and I agree, don't be embarrassed by his size. it just proves that you can have a perfectly normal natural birth with a bigger baby, despite what many obs think.I get it though, although for the opposite reason, my babies are small and people always seem to have something to say about it. drives me nuts and has caused me so much anxiety in the past, but really, the only thing that is important is that you have a healthy baby.
yeah my placenta took a good 45 minutes to come out and it was really hard work! i was shocked! i had the injection first birth and didnt even notice it really coming out...but the second time i had to do a lot of hard work to bring it down...
My placenta took about 4 hours! It had come away but didn't want to come out, and then went into cervical shock. The placenta was quite large, but don't think that was why it didn't want to come. We stayed in the pool awhile, then tried on land.
Ok, highlight here if you want to know- my little boy was 4.96 kg (10lb 15oz). He is long and not really chubby, everything is in proportion. My DD was 3.7kg at birth, so not a heavyweight. It will be interesting to see how he grows from here on.
I have a mini vent that i just have to get out so i can let it go. I had couple people visit yesterday, for me i thought it was quite a privilege for them to come so soon. The visit was lovely, they bought lunch, played with DD and didn't overstay. But then one of them put photos up on FB with DS's name, when i hadn't announced his name yet (it took us a day to decide) or put any photos up. And they weren't even nice photos. I just don't know why people think that that is ok, i didn't know that i had to specify do not put photos on-line of my newborn son... ok, that feels better.
