So much easier than my first birth

Born at 36 + 6 which wasn’t much of a surprise since my first was 35 + 3.

Was in labor for a few hours and once I got to 8 cm I decided it hurt bad enough that I wanted the epidural. He was born 30 mins later and I hardly felt a thing. Just some pressure and I pushed a few times and there he was. 19 inches, 6 lbs 4 oz. totally healthy in every way.

Had a stitch or two (small right labia tear), my first was a 4th degree episiotomy. I feel like I’ve already mostly healed, the first time around it seemed like month before I was normal again.

Had no trouble latching on which was a major issue for the first couple of weeks with my first.

Been home for a few nights now and he is a dream baby. Wakes up a few times to eat and have his diaper changed and he’s right back to sleep.

Here are some pictures from once we got home.

We are all so totally in love

I guess a few of these pictures aren’t formatted properly. Maybe because I took them in portrait mode? Anyways he’s so beautiful

It’s if they’ve been cropped. Take a full-size screenshot of them without cropping and post those. Happened to me. Congratulations! I’m hoping my second is a dream delivery too.
