Birth story err nightmare lol

She's so cute!!! As far as the edema goes, I was super swollen when I got home too, it is normal and it took me awhile to get it to go down. Walk alot, drink alot, and you can even wrap you legs in ace bandage, and if your tummy is swollen, you can wear a tight wrap or girgle type thingy there too, that helped me. Good luck to you.

Thanks for sharing. YIKES!!! Sounds like it was pretty rough. I always wonder about women who say you "forget" the pain - ya, right!! LOL

Glad everyone came out all right in the end though.

She's absolutely perfect and beautiful!!

This is my first too, so these stories (good and bad) are really great to hear.

Take care!

Thanks for all the info on the edema ladies! Its still bad but at least now I can reassure the MIL that it isn't fatal lol! Bella had her well baby check up today and has not lost any more then the initial 4oz she lost while in the hospital!
My milk came in today and lil miss porker is LOVING it! I'm positive she'll be gaining in no time...she can't seem to get enough! I'm also handling it very well and although they are super heavy, they aren't as painful as I expected. I think I owe that to WLS, after losing weight prior to pregnancy my boobs were left sooo deflated that I think there was plenty of room to fill.
I'm so in love with my little girl, I just can't believe she's mine thank u all for the sweet words

Congrats blanca!!!!!!! Man I feel you on that epi, mine only took on the left side so I felt everything on the right side after I had it don twice also! But it was all worth it. Your little angel is beautiful.

Congratulations! I am so glad she is healthy and perfect. She is absolutely beautiful too!
