After having a presentation scan which found that dd3 was breech, I decided to have an elective c/s. When we went to the hospital for the pre-op chat and to chose the date for her birthday (very strange thing to do!), we were told that the next week was completely full-up for c/s's but they could fit me in "tomorrow"... agghh!.
My mood was very relaxed (must be something to do with all the lavender oil I was sniffing ), the spinal worked fantastically and I didn't even feel it. When dh walked into the theatre all gowned up we all had a good laugh and then for some reason all the staff were discussing black pudding and haggis!, I felt a little pressure all around my bump but no pain at all and then suddenly I heard our baby crying! It was such a shock because I didn't know the operation had started and then I started sobbing too .
DD3 weighed in at only 6lb 3oz and is very fair and very, very adorable, I have hardly put her down since she was born, I just want to gaze at her all day long .
