Our baby girl has arrived!

Body: 

Our baby girl arrived last week and I had a wonderful birth experience this time around. Everything was much faster and there were no interventions, all natural. I was going to "breath" the baby out but my body had other plans. After my water broke my body just started to push. I was on my side and I have never felt anything that powerful in all my life! My body pushed her out in under 10 minutes. Very intense but amazing experience. I tore but not as bad as last time. There has been no change in the prolapse department (lots of pressure) but I am waiting several weeks to heal and then begin the exercises etc.

For those of you that had another baby after prolapse do you have advice as to what exercises to do? I have Christine's first book but I remember someone talking about a postpardum workout or was that just talk? Should I be trying the workout in her new book?

Congratulations Mummynow

Perhaps we should now be calling you Mummyagain!

So happy about the good birth. We have so few births in a lifetime. We have to treasure these really good ones. They are a privilege.

Cheers

I have been wondering how you were going, this is great news, its truely and amazing experience. I still think about my two wonderful births.

I recall you will feeling so bulking during pregnancy as I did, I am now 9 months postpartrum and feel no bulkiness at all, only when I have to pick bubs up too much as he is now getting really heavy and I am very small and petite. But it took a good 4-6months to feel nothing at all, now I feel great.

Take care of yourself and of course your new little baby girl. (they don't stay little for too long!!!) Enjoy every moment.

Mommynow, I’m so happy for you! Sweet sisters…how precious. I’m glad the birth went well and I agree with Michelle…rest...and when you are up, pull yourself into the posture. The postpartum dvd remains in early stages as we work on many projects at the same time. Lots of love and hugs (((((mommynow&babynow))))), Christine

I've been thinking of you, so nice to log on tonight and find the good news!
my advice.......rest rest rest. drink lots, eat well, pee often. stand tall.
at first all I did in terms of exercise was posture. then (at two mo? maybe?) I started going for daily walks outside -keeping the ww posture- with baby in a stroller. 20 min most days. started the ballet workout a mo or two ago, but I don't get very far.

I'm so happy for you that you had a wondeful birth experience. bask in it, and in your blessed little ones.
