my late birth story well 2 years late .

[PurpleWillow]

My Little man Willow is 2 years old

make a coffee or tea as this is kind of a novel
Well I was scheduled to have a C-section due to ,
my little man was a footling breech (ouch)
so on the day I was very nervous my Dh and my Mum were keeping me company ,
I could just have one person in with me so ofcourse my Dh came in ,
but before surgery I was given a epidural I had MANY
needles as I could still feel ,
They told me I have a sensitive lower back ,
so now I was ready first I felt really sick and I vomited as my blood pressure went up and down ,
then my Dh walked in looking all sexy in he's surgery outfit LOL,
it was very fast and my little man Willow hiccuped when he was born ,
sooooooooooo cute , I got to hold my little one ,
we had a loving moment and my Dh and I were crying ,
my Dh and Willow left the room and I was just waiting to be stitched up ,
it was such a weird feeling hearing the Surgeons talk like your not there ,
but there was a very nice guy who was making jokes and trying to get me to stop thinking about whats happening around me ,
when I was in recovery I felt warmth on my feet and then they were hot , the pain hit me fast I was starting to feel EVERYTHING ,
I told a nurse she gave me some Morphine ,
now that knocked the pain and me out ,
I had a really bad night I couldn't get up as I had a catheter , and my body was sore ,
I could not get up to change my pads and no-one helped me ,
I asked a nurse and she did it once ,
I felt so helpless as my Dh was home with our girls and it was late at night,
and my new baby was with the nurses ,
I hated myself ,
I also press the button for help and knocked myself out with the pain and ,
many hours later I woke up and press the button again
I was in soooooooooo much pain I had to have more pain killers and I was feeling it really bad , a nurse yelled at me and told me she has given me enough WHAT CAN SHE DO ,
I yelled back and told her I can't Believe you are treating me like this ,
and the next morning I complained about her as she was in my room with another nurse but the other nurse was worse , and I told her take out the catheter I'm going today ,
so she did , now how uncomfortable,
a person I hate near my private area ,
I got up out of bed when no one was in the room to go to the toilet the pain my tummy was on FIRE ,
I was dripping with sweat ,
I got on the toilet trying not to scream ,
and when I tried to get up I could not stand ,
I pushed the button for help no-one came
I had to push the emergency button and everyone came ,
and a nurse helped me up and said oh is that all ,
I was in hell ,
that day my Baby I went to another hospital to recover as the other hospital only delivers
now that was wonderful
and then the next day WE were home ,
but I had to sleep sitting up with 5 pillows behind me ,
and I found it so hard to sleep for many weeks I was like the princess and the pea but with pillows LOL,
but my little man was worth it .

It seems a little usual to post a birth story two years after the event, but everyones story is so different, it's good to learn of others experiences. It sounds like yours was certainly one to remember and hopefully never to be repeated (treatment wise that is, not little new baby-wise).

I love the name Willow by the way (for both boys and girls, but I do like names in general that suit both).

Are you TTC again now or is your family complete?

It was hard to write my birth story I kept putting it off ,
it was great to write it,
My family is complete 3 is enough for me ,

The name Willow I have loved for many years ,
it was from a movie called Willow


I thought for a girl or boy .

Oh, I've only just seen your reply now sorry. I would so love that movie (it's just up my street) so will look out for it on DVD.

The name Willow makes me smile every time I hear it (which is not so often), so makes it a lovely name by all counts.
