I had super fast premature deliveries with all of the boys, so because of that they wanted me to have a c-section with Leia because of her not growing, having premature rupture of membranes and multiple infection markers. She was born at weighing 3lb 10.5oz at 33 weeks on 13th October, which was a Thursday I had a spinal and she was delivered at 1:05pm, had the epidural stuff out a couple of hours after because I wasn't using it. I was up and walking around a few hours afterwards, had the catheter and venflon out a couple of hours after that and I went home on the Sunday. The biggest problem I had was pain in my shoulder apparently I had air trapped in it, they offered me lots of different painkillers though it kind of amazed me how many different painkillers the doctors had written up "just in case". Leia spent nearly 3 weeks in Special Care there was nothing wrong with her she just needed her feeds built up and a little sodium. Hope that helps a little, good luck hope everything goes smoothly for you and your recovery is easy and as pain free as possible. Hugs Crystal xx
