Congratulations! I am sorry you had such a rough time with your labour.

wow your story is almost identical to mine, from waters breaking, some midwife trying to stretch me in the middle of contraction (I have never screamed so loud in my life!) forceps then 4 days in hospital on anitbiotics! I dont suppose you went to the Heath Hospital too?!! but... It will suprise you how quickly you will recover hun, and it will be amazing to bring your little girly home this weekend - then the fun really begins! congratulations to you x

Awwww no way that sounds sooo tough and poor Millie being born so forcefully but glad you both are doing well. Enjoy your girl xxx

OMG, what an experience I'm sorry it was so rough, it really can have a drastic effect on you after but it sounds like bonding is going well - incredibly well done though, you did amazingly! That's a BIG baby! Glad she is ok and you too but rest up plenty and I also advise going over your notes with the head MW when you feel up to it.

I had a rough time with my DD (very similar to you but was induced so got epi early) esp re: forceps and having opted for a section this time. I just decided (after a lot of stress and worry) that I wasn't prepared to even chance a difficult time again, esp as this baby is predicted to be pretty big and my DD was on the bigger side too (though not as big as your Millie!). So bear that in mind for next time - after the time you had, you should certainly have the option (sure you are saying 'f*ck off, no more babies for me, lol!).

my experience last week was very similar. I was in labour for 3 days, they broke my amniotic fluid during an internal but said I had weed on her and sent me home with no AF! ontractions were horrendous then had to have forcep delivery and couldnt feel a thing when pushing and got 3rd degree tear. Just traumatic and not what I had envisaged at all. Really dont want anymore children but my little boy is wonderful and amazing and I love him ooodles. He is worth it all!

Congrats on your baby girl, enjoy. I sympathise with your experience but its all in the past for us both now

Slowly getting over what happened having a bit of councelling and help but I feel SO much better!!

She has a bit of colic but last night slept for 8 hours, amazing! Shes gorgeous and was worth it all!! Few pics for you x
