Baby born! She's 3 months now but here is my story

Glow has changed so if this story is doubled up apologies!

26/4/17 7am I went in for a c section (breech baby) my previous kids were vaginal.... I have to say c section so much easier than natural birth!

Make up off! Gown on! Walk into theatre lights everywhere and sat on a bed having local anaesthetic put into my back followed by a spinal block, lay on the bed nurse did a "numbness check" the surgeon came over tugged my belly with foreceps and shouted "scream test negative she's ready to go!" The screen didn't go up properly so my husband got s view like a scene from the walking dead, they drained my waters and after a fair bit of tugging and pulling out came out baby girl 6lb 14oz I had a catheter inserted too and was sewn up and had a fluids drip in and blood pressure monitored. I was wheeled round into recovery room to then be with my husband (the emotional new daddy) and our baby girl I spent 2 nights in hospital then came home on day 3. Stitches out by day 5 and had gone back to all my usual activities as normal within the week (with ease) even school runs no complications no infection nothing our little girls now 3 months old and beautiful!

This is her half an hour old.

This is her now!
