Isabella was born 11th July at 5:55am, 5 hour labour, i had had false labours so i didnt ring the midwife til my contractions were 3 mins apart, lucky i was only 5 cm dilated at that time! she came over to mine and did an exam as i wasnt convinced i was in labour at all! so off we trot to the hospital, arrived at 5 and hadd her 55 mins later. Have to say it was my easiest labour, even at 9lb6oz (4260kg) At my scan three weeks earlier they had estimated her weight at that already! boy am i so glad they were WAY off!
She feeds well, is quite content baby, doesnt cry much, and has a head full of hair! Me, well, im loving it! Ok most of it, my boobs still hurt, and im tired, but other than that, life at this moment is perfect! I am breast feeding, and do enjoy it despite the first minutes of toe curling, but my boobs are so freaken big that BF does not look like it comes natural to me at all! im very self concious and wont feed in front of anyone cause i am aware of how utterly GUMBY i look when i feed her, all contorted and uncomfortable looking, holding my boob so i dont suffocate her lol.I feed her in a rugby ball typ hold, and if i do the common way people feed babies then i have to hold her head with one arm and hold my boob up with the other, which as you might imagine, isnt very practical, anyway, im hoping once my boobs stop hurting and time helps me establish good way to feed that doesnt make me look like a 'retarded feeder" anyhoo, must be off, xxx
