That last passage is really useful. As i wondered how I would feel this time about having done so much work to attempt for a vbac- if i end up with an em csec.
I have to say when they pulled her out - i heard a baby cry and was like awww - how lovely, someone had a baby - before my brain kicked in and i realised it was mine.
But the one thing i got from the 3 day stint in hospital was time alone with her to learn her cries and i found i knew what was her sleepy noises rather than a cry that was going to go full blown for food or nappy change - and because it was such a pain getting to her, having to rely on mw for 24 hours, i started recognising immediately which was which and whether i needed the help. i only realised I had done this naturally once we got home and I had to hold my hub down on the bed to stop him getting up to the slightest squeak. eventually he also learned what i knew.
