Thanks guys 
I really am quite proud of myself now that I look back on it, and SO pleased that I was able to birth my beautiful daughter without any nasty drugs that might have effected her.
The Hypno Birth Music definitely helped me, as soon as the CD went off I was pointing to it through all my deep breathing saying 'on again!' ... It just helped me focus, and I love the idea that it was playing when she came into the world... all calm and peaceful.
Yesterday I had all my stitches checked etc and apparently there's a lot up there on the back vaginal wall, so no wonder I am in pain. Good news is the MW said the panic attacks were caused by the rectal Diclofenac that the lady gave me at the birthing centre on Tuesday! So I now know to steer well clear of that!
Motherhood is amazing though, this one little person... I just melt when I look at her. And she's such a content baby!
We aren't in our cloth napkins yet as everything is too bag for her but we are using our washable wipes and soapnuts and getting on well with both breastfeeding isn't going so well and I am having to start expressing, but I figure that if it doesn't work she did have 3 full days of liquid gold and that must have done her some good, right?

Hope you heal quickly - at least you have a reason for the panic attacks. I found dealing with the discomfort and associated toileting issues the hardest thing to deal with post birth - was the only thing that got me down. 
Problem is now my Mum has gone home (I am single) I am doing more about the house and have started bleeding bright red blood again... a sign I am doing too much... Thing is I have to be on my own and get on with things and some point don't I... Why must my fanny protest!!!
