In my Lamaze calss (for my second child; in Chicago, they did the old fashioned way, and knocked me out withg a crowbar), everything was fine, except they forgot to mention one word:
PAIN...

Sorta like poor Ennis, waiting in the waiting room, doc comes out and says, "You have a baby girl..."

Mandy is like whatever with these "old" ladies talking about child birth :)
I did not have a c-section. Glad that I did not need one. I thank whoever invented Epidural. It’s my advice for every first time mom.
Ellemeno:
The first few weeks of my daughter's life were so exhausting and overwhelming (AND transcendent, etc. of course), so exhausting, that I can't imagine what it would have been like to tackle it while recuperating from the most major body event most people ever go through. My hat's off to you.
It's funny (not quite the right word), in those early months, I was kind of worried I would feel left out when attending new mom support groups, because we are an adoptive family. Come to find that yes, I did not have anything to add to the discussions of all the physical miseries of swollen ankles, ripped labias, cracked and splitting nipples, etc. Then gradually all the women healed, and I tend to feel one hundred per cent a mom, just like them.
And re herpes - it's very common, I think, now, not just among wild life style people. Or formerly wild life style people. Dum dee dum.....[Ellemeno whistles an innocent little tune] ::)

Breastfeeding helps...alot. It gives you an excuse to plunk down every hour or two and do nothing but feed the baby. "Sorry, can't answer the phone, I'm feeding the baby." "Sorry, can't do whatever...I'm feeding the baby."
I loved breastfeeding, btw. Didn't want to quit--Lureen doesn't know what she missed!
