I was given an early c-section due to pre-eclampsia which I didnt mind.
What started off the day badly was the fact I was left from midnight until back on the ward at 6pm without even a sip of water. It was only due to the fact of the lovely lady bringing round the tea, seeing me 3 times that day and each time saying are you still here, that somebody finally came to see me, even though I had asked for any updates.
Then I went into theatre, where I was waiting to see our gorgeous daughter, who I heard cry and then the cry got further away. Then she was brought back all wrapped up and given to my husband, not even offered to me for a cuddle or kiss. Then after 5 mins they took her into the recovery room to dress her and when I went through she had been given a bottle regardless of how I wanted to feed her.
I am due to have another section at the same hospital next year and I'm just hoping it will be a more positive experience this time!
