oh wow congratulations @SarahAndQuack and welcome welcome to earth precious little baby boy! Thanks for sharing your birth story, I’m so glad that not only was it a good experience in itself but also a healing one. I hope you’re feeling well enough after haemorrhage and stitches, a speedy recovery from your fit body is hopefully on yhe cards. Enjoy the joyful hormonal soup!! Xx

@AmberRose26 how exciting, it’s all happening! Glad they’re looking after you well, how do you feel? Must be cool knowing that you’re just around the corner! Today was my planned caesarean date! Is everything in order at home? Hope you’re managing some r&r and sleep in all the excitement (and heat!)

wishing you all the best @AmberRose26 - very exciting!

@SarahAndQuack awh what a lovely story and massive congratulations to you and your beautiful baby boy !! He will be in the garden with you soon enough helping you 💙🥰.. .. that’s amazing well done you with no pain relief also !! I am hoping to have the diamorphine but as you say you just dunno how it will go on the day .. oh that’s interesting about the contraction just in your lower tummy.. Hope you heal quick from the blood loss, what happens do they give you an injection to help with that at the time of you don’t mine me asking ? glad you are home and getting settled into your routine etc.

thanks @Nosejug @MintOwl i slept ok last night on and off .. little cramping, it’s mainly when I stand /sit up right so I don’t think it’s proper contractions as it wouldn’t go away when I lie on my side etc in bed? Will just wait and see how it progresses 🤞🏽✨🙏💛

@SarahAndQuack CONGRATULATIONS! I’m so glad you had a lovely birth and felt listened to by the midwives, it really makes a difference. Sorry to hear about the tear and blood loss, I hope you are feeling okay and not too uncomfortable

enjoy your baby bubble

@SarahAndQuack Amazing news, reading your post has made me feel really emotional this morning. We are SO blessed to have these babies. So pleased that your birth experience was overwhelmingly positive despite the blood loss and tear and that you felt heard and cared for. I'm just sitting here feeding ATM, another rough night but I seem to get 2 rough ones and then a better so will be sleeping today! Hope you can take it easy and have what you need. I've been checking on here to see any updates but hadn't realized I'd logged out so had zero notifications! You've been on my mind. Congratulations 👏 🎉 xxx
