thanks everyone. things have been a bit tough, c section wasn't planned AT ALL though I'd always said I'd do whatever was necessary to deliver my baby safely.
I had no fluid at all by the time I was 12 days overdue, even when the mw ruptured my membranes (took 3 goes ouch ) no fluid came out.. then my boys heartbeat plummeted to 50 with every contraction and that was only ear;y labour...
so c section it had to be. has made things a bit tough physically (and emotionally tbh) but am proud that we've managed breastfeeding from the off (though I do really want to give up some days )
my health visitor reckons my little boy has pretty much been on a growth spurt since birth as he was skinnier than he should've been as my placenta was a bit buggered (she didn't say buggered tho)
guess I should be gald he's a hungry little monster, he hardly lost any weight at all and had gained a whole pound in less than 2 weeks (was 7.3 and a half at birth)
so this is an extra growth spurt on top of all that, or maybe he just wants attention and boobies...
he has been asleep for an hour and a half now, bit of a relief
sorry this seems to have turned into my birth announcment! first time back on mn since the big day you see.
btw his name is mani. and I keep wondering if I'm cut out to be a mum but somehow we get through it...
