Such a flurry of babies since I last checked in! Massive congratulations to everyone who has popped in the last few days. I hope you're all recovering well and can enjoy the babies through the fug of exhaustion, feeding, nappies, hormones, etc.
My little boy arrived on Sunday afternoon. After 3 days of induction they finally broke my waters at 3am on Sunday. It all went well until the pushing stage where things got complicated once they realised he was in a bad position facing my left leg and wrong bit of head was presenting. Ended up with 2 failed ventouse and failed forceps and was almost taken to theatre before a final bit of intervention and effort got his head out. Then his shoulders got stuck! But we got him out eventually after 2.5 hours of pushing and pulling. As they'd already done an episiotomy, I was so glad we avoided EMCS too as I couldn't face the recovery from both 
Although it all became a bit traumatic, the recovery has been good so far and so I would encourage anyone who, like me, dreaded the idea of an instrumental delivery, episiotomy, loads of doctors staring down your fanjo, etc, not to panic if it goes that way. You will be fine and you will recover!
Day 4 now and it's the first time I feel vaguely human. DH and I are taking it in shifts through the night, though obviously I have to do all the feeds. Establishing BF is such a minefield! Hats off to all of you going through it. I can't even say I've had massive problems so far, just that he is a bit of a nipple feeder so I struggle with the latch, but it's still exhausting and bloody painful. It's getting easier, gradually, and I know it is worth it.
Fortunately these babies are so damn beautiful, they get away with it 
Waving pom-poms for those of you waiting to hatch. It's a frustrating time. Not long to go, though!
