I was booked in for the, the C-section and we went along and my husband actually got to be in the operating theatre with me, which was quite nice in that he was there for the birth, because it had been something if I'd had a natural birth that was quite important to us, that he was there as well. So he got to come along too, and my daughter was, was born on, in the afternoon. It took them quite a long time to actually get her out, just because of the way that she was lying. Her head was trapped under my diaphragm which was, [laughing] seems a bit strange. She came out with two nice big lines on the back of her head, which quickly disappeared. But yeah, that was, everything went fine. And the surgeon was very nice and everybody certainly involved in the operation, for such a - I think what surprised us most was, I mean, it's a major operation. I think a lot of people forget just how big an operation it is and, you know, there was kind of eleven people all involved in the operation in this theatre, but they actually kept it quite informal, which was quite nice. You know, it wasn't all sort of medical talk and things like that. They made you sort of feel like a human being as opposed to just a number which was, it was nice, yeah. |
