Congratulations Sir!
Why on earth would a doctor make your wife go through 16 hours of labor before a c-section? That is terrible. Unfortunately the recovery on a c-section is a bit longer.
Congratulations on your wee one !!!
Having been through a c-section myself before my biggest piece of advice is to prepare a week or two of meals (together) before the big day and freeze them. Especially if your not handy in the kitchen, that way you can serve some good healthy nutritious meals while your wife recovers without her help. Even if you can cook well this is still a good idea because there is so much going on that it's just one less task that needs to be done or thought about. Not only you have a new baby to care for but her body is recovering from major invasive surgery on top of it.
Good Luck and Best Wishes,
whispers..... and don't forget to post a picture of the wee one after the big event so we can ogle over your new daughter and congratulate you again.
GREAT idea. I'm doing this next time if I remember to.
We thought we could pop him out...just wasn't going to happen. Now we know for next time at least.
Besides, don't mothers love long labors so they can bring up up and hold it over their kid's head for the rest of their life?
We didn't know his head would not fit. He has a watermelon head from her side of the family and we did not know that although she has a nice curvy set of hips on the outside, the "exit" for him through her hips on the inside was a bit narrow. She had no complications in her pregnancy, so we had no reason to get her pelvis x-rayed I guess.
I just have to let everybody know. On Sep 15th my wife will have a C Section and a new addition to the family will be here, Lauren Grace Ford.
4 Kids and I am done.
