Thank you, will post a proper birth story when I can. Was in agony with muscle/rib pain which I can only guess is normal after a normal birth after hours of contracting? Thanks for everyone's comments. I will be back shortly but I've went over 60 hours without any sleep, just caught up on two hours x x
 
Thanks everyone.
Today I've eaten -
Weeto's
Mexican chicken roll from Gregg's
2 cups of tea
Not dieting or anythin yet, just trying to get into the habit of keeping my food diary x

Also quite a few Cadbury Heroes :)

How you feeling? and how's Naomi and whats jack like with her? dont worry about dieting you've just had a baby x

Yeah I'm feeling good thanks, can't believe how well I feel after 47.5 hours start to finish, I think the day and a half of painful contractions were the worst bit, will post my birth story soon if anyone wants a read, bit long though. Jack's amazing with her, he tells me 'baby crying' 'babies milk' etc he loves it when she makes a noise etc, but isn't all over her to get in the way or anything I'm really happy with his reaction. he loves being involved, Naomi's pretty laid back. She just sleeps and feeds at moment, she's not a cryer, just winges a bit if hungry x
 
BIRTH STORY.........Long
Well most of you know I was getting contractions from 5am Wed morn, got checked Wed afternoon wasn't dilated at all, got checked Wed night at 11pm was 1-2cm, midwife gave me a sweep and I lost my plug straight away, by time I got home contractions were agony. By 4am I couldn't really cope anymore went back, was still the same as before and I was gutted but got some codine.went home. This was the longest time of my life, the contractions were horrendous I only lasted til 2pm Thursday as had had no sleep at all since Tuesday night (3 hours) then I rang hospital and said I wanted checking over. Got checked over and was told 4 cm, in established labour, staying in and they moved me to the room I'd be giving birth in and after a while started on gas and air, after couple hours had pethadine, about 8 pm I was told 6 cm and they broke my waters, an hour later I was begging for epidural my waters really triggered something. 2 hours later got checked and still the same, so I wasn't progressing much. So they gave me the drip but I can only have it for 2 hours and they wanted me to be 7 cm or I had to have section so they started getting my gown n stuff ready just in case, but half 12 came and I was 9 cm so mw turned my drip down and said she'll let me relax for an hour or so and let my body do the last cm then we'll start pushing, so anyway I got fully dilated but contractions were slowing down and baby's heartbeat was doing fine so at about quarter past 3 in morning we started pushing, my contractions were slowing in between so I didn't push that many times and head was crowning, mw went to side of bed to turn drip back up cos we were waiting ages between contractions and I felt babies head move out so I said 'she's moving!' Mw said oh she's helping you out, then I felt baby's shoulders and she just kept coming, hubby's face was a picture, my mum was like oh my god, mw looked surprised and just let her birth herself since we didn't really have a choice and my little princess turned and flopped herself out on bed. It was so strange I couldn't believe how it happened. So Naomi was born at 4.25am, hubby cut cord and I didn't tear, graze need any stitches or anythin I'm so happy, doesn't even hurt when I go to loo but it does sting a little. I now have an amazing family of 4 xx
 
It's great I don't feel like I've just been through labour especially since I've lost track of so many days......
But Cas you definitely had it harder than a natural, I've experienced both sides and both of them a harder labour and I'd definitely choose natural again, I think it takes a lot to make the decision for a section, even for all the right reasons which yours were. I'm so glad now I've experienced child birth and I know whatever happens in the future it was all worth it both times x
 
Oh Terri that's fantastic was so perfect !!! makes feel I should try harder for natural birth but I'm all set for Tuesday now x
 
Your going to go through enough, it's not the easy way out in any way I just hope you have a good recovery. I'm excited for you for Tuesday I cant wait. Do you know what time your slot currently is? x

Yeah I've totally lost my appetite, I ate my breakfast a couple hours after I got up, because I knew I had to eat not because I fancied it and I'm usually starving when I first get up. I had the sandwich for lunch cos it was left over from yesterday. For my tea last night I had a slice and half of pizza, couldn't even be bothered to finish the second slice, I wasn't hungry but to be fair I'd never been so exhausted in my life, tonight for tea I wasn't hungry at all but I didn't want to not eat so I just had a couple slices of toast. I'm sure my appetite will come back very soon lol x
 
I remember being like that with Charlie today I have had so much bread etc pizza well from
Fri I'm
Being good lol x
