Karen - hope things are progressing for you. I also know how you feel about the section but please don;t get too hung up on it. I really didn't want one - to the extent that I was sobbing in the theatre after hours of bloody labour and being told that DD2 (seems funny to add the 2 there he, he) hadn't moved any further down the birth canel at the thought of it. Here I am 5 days later with it all done and dusted and not that bothered that is how Lily was born to be perfectly honest! Go with what will work for you and your family!
MG - your DS sounds like my DD1 (although bad Mummmy that I am I never woke her for a feed, just went on the she will wake when hungry basis)and you will be pleased to know continued in that chilled out vein....
But DD2 has today learned how to sleep, helped I think by the fact she doesn't need to feed for hours as my milk has arrived so we have all had a much better time of it today. Even made it to the shops, had lunch out (okay in Debenhams but hey) and managed a feed there - I am quite chuffed as it is only day 5. Think I barely made it to the shower day 5 first time around . The downside to all this being that I needed to find some clothes to put on - bad move nothing fits! Even maternity clothes I was wearing this time last week don't look/feel right! Why is this????????????????
Lily also appears to be the amazing farting girl but can get very upset (really screaming in fact) when doing so. Any ideas? I might ask for advice from the Mumsnet Oracle if it doesn't improve as the wee scone looks to be in agony.
Right I am off to put my feet up while DH collects DD1 from PsIL!
