How are you feeling? ?

Question

How did you feel after labor? And if you delivered recently, Cesarean or vaginal, how do you feel now? Physically and emotionally?

Answer 1

i was in labor for 24 hours so i was tired it was vaginal i was really sore it was over to years ago.

Answer 2

After my 26 hour marathon of labor 3 weeks ago I felt sooo tired, yet I wanted nothing more than to hold and feed my little girl.

I had a VBAC delivery that went very well. She was posterior for a lot of it, so I had back labor, but all and all it went smoothly.

I'm tired of bleeding! I'm enjoying every moment with my little Madeleine though =). She's grown so much already. She watches my mouth when I talk to her, and tries to lift her head =).

I will be glad to be able to get out a bit more once I'm fully healed.
