I am now a mother of two

Scott was born at 4.23 saturday morningweighing 6lb 15oz natural delivery. he was op so very painful.

run down.
Went to hospital at 6pm Friday night contractions not bad but every 4-5 mins.
9 pm contractions every 3 mins but wasn't dilated.
11pm contractions every 2 mins still no dilation
1am contractions every 1-2 mins 3cm dilated
1.30am had epidural as couldn't stand the pain any more.
2am epidural kicked
3.30am started to shiver epidural wouldn't top up
4am wanted to push, still shivering mw examined and i was 10 cm but baby was not down. she told me would still be hours.
4.15am I just had to push couldn't hold off. head crowned with push.
4.23am head and body delivered in one push Scott literally flew out. bless.

scott and I were both in shock for a good hour afterwards as things had progressed really quickly. Mw commented that she had never seen an op go through second stage so quick.

I have a small tear no stiches quite sore.

Scott is gorgeous, DD and DH and i are all chuffed to bits so far he desn't really cry alot.
Only thing at mo is I am not producing colestrum yet so have had to give Scott bottles, still try to latch him on to try and coax some through, have also been on expressor (sp) to no avail

Congrats Karen!
How do you know you have no colostrum? Never heard of such a thing. Don't think I could have expressed any, either, but it was there still (engorged today... ouch!).
