My best wishes to you and Inigo and Mark. My first birth was full of unexpected, scary things as well. If you don't have one yet, have Mark get you a big, squishy teddie bear. It really helps the nights go better. :) I resolved always to have one while on any overnight hospital stays. By my third child's birth, I was only there 19 hours and begged them to send me home! I agree that pumping your milk is really important and perhaps by now all of that is all good. If not, get help from your doula. I went to La Leche league, as no women in my family ever breast fed. Support is everything. I am so glad that you have a ton of it from us crazy knitters! KC KnittinCacher on Ravelry Lara, I know of you through David Reidy’s podcast.

I'm glad she did. I can tell you I've survived two births much like you describe, and I have two gorgeous big healthy sons who have bigger feet than their mother. they're 13 and 10. Keep breathing, listen to your body, don't surpress any more of those tears and say yes thank you to offers of help. Keep pumping. Keep visiting. Isn't he lovely? I had a photo of my first boy next to me, the midwives took it. There was method in their madness. You can breastfeed. You will. It will be hard, but you can do it. Hugs to you new parents. believe me, you'll look back on this time with wonder, but make yourselves proud. love from a stranger, thanks for waking up my memories. Just Jussi sent me.
