Probably no natural births for me ever

I'm not very pleased about it. It's not what I'd hoped for.

But the consultant was lovely, which helps.

It could be much worse (and you probably don't want to hear that right now). At least you can *plan* when to have future children and usually, from what I've heard, planned C-sections are much easier to recover from than unplanned ones.

My sister's had two C-sections: first one, they left her in labour for half a day until it became clear that she just couldn't; the second,, they pulled her in at a suitable time. The second was far less traumatic for mother, father and baby. (My brother in law, after the first one, was heard to comment along the lines of: "it's all well and good, but why did J. and I have to go through a horrible day when it was clear to them from the first moment they saw us?"

(I think he actually had a worse time over the labour than she did!)

Andy actually asked me if I wanted him there in my labour with tiggle as he said he found it very difficult to cope last time as the volume of non-progressive pain I was in.

For me, a lot of it is now a blur & when Andy mentions things, I don't even remember them.
