My little lady was born 9 days ago I had a bit of a horrific experience.
She was meant to be born at home but after my waters broke the midwife examined me and felt toes.
I was rushed to hospital in an ambulance with blue lights. I have a history of very quick births.
I made it to hospital without any real contractions.
I had a portable scan and it was confirmed she was breech so they planned a section for me. But decided I wasn't an emergency so let another lady (who was elective and not in labour) go first.
Of course, as soon as she went in my labour kicked off and within 20 minutes from my first contraction I was ready to push.
It was horrific they had to rush me into the second theatre and prep me quickly.
Her head was stuck under my ribs and after much tugging she came out with a mouthful of my blood took her a few minutes to clear it and properly cry (well about 30 seconds to a minute but it felt like forever)
So 5 days later the midwife takes off my dressing and I have fatty tissue on the outside that has not been tucked in... No idea? But it's slowed up healing
Now 9 days on and I'm not really feeling much better, still stiff when I walk, haven't even attempted to bend, haven't been upstairs, can pick up darcie and I'm able to change bums etc but not bent over I change her beside me on the sofa.
I'm feeling down in the dumps and sorry for myself.
Any body else remember day 9?
When will I feel a bit better?
The thought of even getting dressed out of leggings and loose clothes scares me senseless!
I've not been out of the house apart from to come home from hosp.
Any advice greatly appreciated! I feel so low
