Hi Ginny,

Please let your daughter know there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I too got Bells just 6 days after an emergency c section. All that you explained about your daughter is a mirror image of what I started to go through 7 months ago and it is a very scary thing to go through (as if the birth wasn't enough). I had a course of steriods within the first week, recovery started about 6 weeks after Bells hit me. Now 7 months down the track I am about 85% back to normal. It is a very slow process but she will get there in the end. She needs heaps of rest as I found my recovery halted when I was overtired, stressed or ill.
Atleast she has her bundle of joy to help put life into perspective. I know having my baby boy has helped me through my journey so far. I think the hardest thing was not being able to smile back when my baby first smiled at me and not being able to smile in photos of him and me. If you have any further question please reply to my thread and I would be more than happy to answer based on my experience.

Nicole.
