Hi girls!! Finally made it in here. Have emailed my details.

Posted my birth story.

Laura, I'm so sorry your birth experience went pear-shaped. I know what you mean about bub being butchered by docs, Miles was the same, tortured to try and get a drip into him, finally they got it in his foot, but he is bruised and bloody all up his hands. And there was nothing wrong with him either.

Sorry haven't had a chance to fully catch up with all the posts here, have to go express. I'm having awful trouble with b/f, Miles won't take the nipple. Am trying to get my supply up, then will attempt attachment again. Unfortunately he associates my boobs with stress (all the various midwives, trying to jam his head on my boob repeatedly).
