o my god fingers crossed i never have one like that. no i didnt need stitches but i lost a lot of blood so i had to stay in over nite

gosh u really did have a nice steady biirth!!

i had to stay in ova nite wit both mine too... more due to exhaustion than anything else tho... but i did loose more blood wit my 2nd!!

i quite like staying in hospital afterwards tho coz u get looked after for 24hours.. and i really needed lookin after... couldnt even walk!!! hehe

my healing time was quick tho... did u heal quickly too

took about 3 weeks. but i didnt enjoy my stay i hate hospital anyway and i didnt really get any help wasnt there fault there just anit enough midwifes

u hear that alot about not enough midwives!! makes me laugh coz i wanted to train to b a midwife but they turned me away coz i dint have the grades!!!!! funny thing is i was only one grade away!!!

such a shame as midwives r so important!!! i think thats why we dont c them as often now either coz they just dont have the time!!! im 18weeks pregnant and i'v seen my midwife twice and not seeing her again until 18th sept!!!! its just getting worse!!

i know its so bad it was just be and my other half in the room most of the time while i was in larbour think i saw 3 different midwifes and no midwifes were in the room when i started to feel the need to push my other half had to go and get someone and then the midwife said she could see him coming
