I wouldn't say I wasn't very nervous about an Elcs!!!! They were all prewarned about me being anxious
... I was shaking with nerves during whole thing.
It was ok up until after he was born, and I just felt very ill for the rest. It was straightforward, no complications or issues. I just felt very sick, light headed and disorientated - felt v v out of it for a good 30mins after too. Didn't care what was going on in the end, as I couldn't focus on what was happening around me.
That said, I'm glad I had an elcs over all other alternatives, as the thought of doing that after labouring fills me with true horror. Equally being in immense pain and becoming disorintated in labour alone scares me.
Definitely the lesser of all evils for me - but then I'm ok with needles ironically!
No idea if he needs food. Have tried but not sure if he got any, and he seems to prefer sleep atm. Will try again in a bit, but he seems happy enough right now. He's obviously dreaming.... As dh said - what the heck do new borns dream about? Life on the inside.
Feel a bit bewildered overall right now, if I'm honest. Not really sure what to think or feel. Just a bit lost I think which I not 100% surprised at. Its a bit, errrr what next! Think that explains indecision over name tbh.
