I had my c section early this morning. I was taken in to theatre at about 9am. When I got my epidural baby's heart beat dropped to 80bpm, so they had to get her out quickly. I have a gorgeous baby girl. She was 8lbs, 11.25oz, and she is 52cm long! We have named her Aurora Jane
I feel a little helpless just now though, she keros starting to cry and I can't move to lift and comfort her. And she is very sleepy!!

Thanks. It took an hour to get her in a position she would feed and I managed to disconnect my catheter bag in the process. Now trying to eat my dinner at a fun angle!! My tummy is flatter than i thought it would be though!

I was hoping I would get to go home today, but Aurora was being difficult feeding on one side. I'm hopegul since she had a good feed on that side and I called someone to witness it that I might still be discharged, they have said it might not be until 9 o'clock though.
Last night was so stressful, they had to come and take her away to the nurse's station last night cos she was screaming for hours and wouldn't settle. I felt like a crappy mummy. That's why I'm so desperate to get her home, then her daddy and my mum are there for support.

Thank you guys :) I was induced 12 days early because of reduced movements & suspicious ctgs. Labour was induced on Sunday night, my waters broke at 8am Monday morning. The pessary fell out twice & every time I stopped moving (which they kept making do because of monitoring) my contractions slowed down!! They started me on the drip at 9.45 and I started contracting regularly, had gas & air, they checked me again at 11 & I was 5cm dilated.. She was born at 11.18 after some pretty intense contractions!
Weighs 6lb 3oz & is just perfect! I'll post a picture when I get on the computer xx
I second what Charlie said! Keep telling yourselves it is not forever and this will pass because it always does and then you move onto the next thing :P
Poppy is teething she is so bitey!
You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.
When I had Lucas the first night the midwife took Lucas to the nurses station to feed him when I didn't wake up because of my mh meds and the exsahustion of giving birth. So don't worry they are just trying to help you adjust. Also I was on the ward for a week after I have birth and was so desperate to go home and it did really help when I could because me and the hubby could get into a routine and had each other for support.
I had a strop and got to take her home just before 9 last night :) first thing she did when I got her home was feed happily for 45 minutes. Then she fed a little overnight. Then this morning she wouldn't feed and just screamed everytime I tried. I think the hospital forcing her on traumatised her and now she is scared to feed. I expressed and cup fed her, then expressed again into a bottle and gave it to her that way. Fingers crossed next feed I don't have to express and she just feeds, but at least I know she is eating now. She looks so happy and peaceful at the moment!
I did find the first night home a lot easier. A and my mum took her through the night when I wasn't trying to feed her, so I got some sleep! I think I am trying to do a bit too much too quickly though, my surgery scar is getting sore now! I keep forgetting that I can't really bend over!
I hope all mummies and babies are doing well!
