Hindsight is a wonderful thing! If I had known when I got to the hospital at 9.30am that at 4pm I would give in to an epidural and at 7pm I would be told I was having a c-section I would have just got the epidural at 10am and got them to chop me up then and there, and get my Saturday back and maybe even a bit of sleep! I didnt get out of recovery for ages due to my blood pressure and temp and then I got no sleep all night then I had one hours sleep I think and then visitors until Jem was about 4 weeks... then I had a nap (and got woken up because of a visitor!)
The only way I am coping with my birth experience is by looking at Jem and trying NOT to imagine what if...
