26 years ago today I was heading into hospital on a beautifully sunny but frosty morning to have my 2nd daughter by elective Caesarean section ( sister was delivered by emergency c section after a traumatic cord prolapse due to my wonky pelvis so was told future deliveries needed to be CS )...anyway I was extremely well prepared for the surgery, had all my Christmas presents wrapped weeks previously, food in newly purchased freezer for Christmas and birthday present for my husband as his birthday was the following week( due date for daughter had in fact been Christmas Eve!)
Luckily my mum was able to come down for a week to look after my daughter as husband had to work ( in hospital where our daughter was born!)
Had a great delivery experience .I'd read up on what to expect regarding spinal anaesthetic, Ted stockings, catheter , analgesia, post op recovery, post op diet...
spent 5 days in hospital as daughter needed some UV therapy and I also wanted to establish breastfeeding ( this was the 90's) then home to husband and 2 year old where we had a lovely Christmas with no pressure to post to social media thank god!
10 days after delivery, I took both daughters to our playgroup Christmas party and husband dressed up as Santa
Ashley needs to appreciate what she has and her immense privilege and stop making it all about her...she's such a selfish self absorbed twit...it's called parenting!
