I think the natural birth was better. …Because after the C-section, you have got quite a lot of pain, obviously. And I can remember the next morning after the C-section, I had excruciating pain. At one point, they had to give me morphine …whereas you don't get any of that, after, after you've actually had the baby, that's it. All the terrible pain has gone. And you know this is it now and you can just go forward. Okay, you're a bit uncomfortable down below but it's not pain as in excruciating pain at all, it's just you're a bit uncomfortable. And you have pain relief for that, anyway, so, you know, that's controlled. But no…
And you hinted before we started recording about the fact that you could do more, because after a section, you're restricted, aren't you in terms of what you can do…?
Yeah, no, it was great to come home and actually see [son's name], my eldest and pick him up and hug him and that was brilliant, because I knew, obviously having a C-section, I wouldn't have been able to have done any of that, and he wouldn't have understood why he couldn't jump on mummy or why mummy couldn't pick him up. So that was brilliant, because I did go through the first week, of being quite upset that suddenly I couldn't spend so much time with [son's name] and I found that really difficult. So it would have been worse, even worse if I couldn't even have held him. No, it was great. |
