Pee - I mentioned in the caesar thread about my bleeding etc post birth, so you might want to suss that out, but basically I had bleeding on and off for over 5w as well as pain on and off and I was certainly getting VERY hot and sweaty too - it's a hormonal thing. I also found that I had lumpy bits under my caesar wound can you believe so I was throwing a hissy fit thinking something was wrong, but it's just scar tissue that will go away in time.

Marcia & Pee - about the BF thing...yep, I think the physical and emotional exhaustion does play a part in your ability to BF. I also think that where you feel traumatised by the birth, it really hinders the whole process. Not only was it painful in terms of positioning Jacob (obviously painful on the stomach) but I just felt so totally and utterly overwhelmed in sooo many ways that I was getting myself more and more worked up as each day passed. I really think that by electing to have a caesar next time so that I can avoid the potential for an emergency caesar following labour next time, I may be in a better position to perservere with BF and hopefully make it work.

About Jacob being posterior - the OB didn't mention anything about any future babies doing the same thing. Jacob had been in the right position during the PG and turned during labour and from what I could gather, there's no reason to assume that because Jacob did that, that the next baby will do the same. The concern was more that he didn't engage properly and it can be an indication that your pelvis is too small (or your baby is too big for it LOL) and as a result won't get through naturally.
