This post has scared me half to death, as I am five months along. I am glad to hear that the birth went relatively well, but sorry to hear that there was considerable aftermath. Hmmm. One note regarding paternity leave: in Canada (hooray), fathers can take 1 year paid leave if the mother takes none. Otherwise, mum gets 1 year paid (soon to be 18 months paid leave!) and father takes 35 weeks. After all that bragging, I must admit that in a cut-throat, corporate workplace, taking a year off for fathers is quietly frowned upon despite being completely legal. Works well if you are in the public sector, though! Oh dear. This post has scared me half to death, as I am five months along.

Childbirth and the recovery proves that women can do anything. And do. I'm glad your parents are there, too! Look back on it all and revel in how strong you really are.

I want to give you a really big, gentle hug :( Actually, after reading this, I think the biggest joke is the fact that maternity leave is unable to be fully split between both parents, rather than leaving mums to do it alone, give or take a pathetic fortnight of paternity leave. Hope you start to feel better soon. Many hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxx Oh you poor, poor thing. I want to give you a really big, gentle hug :(

The picture of you feeding says it all. It sounds like you had a particularly bad time. I hope you now have some excellent pain remedies. I don't know if you have heard of Floradix but it's an excellent tonic-I am not sure of the contraindications for nursing though. It says on the box though. I hope that's a pic of your parents arriving not leaving and that they are able to stay on with you a bit. I still want to send you something and I meant to say that if you didn't want to give out your address i could send it to a post office near your parents and they could have brought it over! (it will be light) But of course too late now. Umm well you'll let me know x speedy recovery x Hi Nin,

I've been a lurker here for quite some time, but I'm finally leaving a comment. I have an almost-one year old, and your post reminded me of those dark days in the beginning. They're so tough! I had a friend tell me when my baby was a newborn, "I hope things are going well for you. But if they aren't, just know that it does get better." And she was right. Hang in there! P.S. Your son is so beautiful. Congratulations. Oh, Nin. I’ve been a lurker here for quite some time, but I’m finally leaving a comment.
