Hi ladies, finally managed to get enough Internet signal to post. Baby Daphne Annabelle was born on Wednesday at 12.16, weighing 8lb7oz with a mop of beautiful dark hair. The csection went amazingly well, apart from I kept fainting (bp dropped again and again over the day) and she was a bit stuck so they used forceps to get her out.
The moment I heard her cry I completely broke down and couldn't stop sobbing. I was so overwhelmed and was then completely shocked to see that she is my little double! I thought she was going to look just like dh, but she is all me but with his nose.
They put her straight on me for skin to skin and she immediately tried to look for a nipple. She screamed her little lungs out until we got into recovery and I could get her on the breast. She latched straight on and seemed to know just what to do, clever little monkey.
The first night was quite hard but the staff have all been amazing. She is so much more settled tonight and I can't describe how incredible it all is. I'm so in love with her it's a bit scary. I didn't realise how my whole world would shift focus so quickly. Sorry to waffle on about it, I'm just in awe really.
I've managed to get up and around no problem and am in very little pain now. Hopefully home with her today, I can't wait. Once home with better signal I shall have a catch up on the thread, but congrats for any new babies and hope you are all well. Xxx
