It’s so nice to be home ☕️ Thank you so much for all of your lovely messages while I was in hospital - I’m not really replying to anyone directly yet, but I do read every single message I get, and it genuinely makes a big difference. Particularly in the middle of the night when I’m feeling really low and overwhelmed, and I’m unable to sleep because of the buzzers and babies on the ward, trying to get a hangry Seb to latch effectively on one side whilst a midwife is simultaneously taking my obs and hooking me up to my drip on the other. Your messages help me to stay calm and make me feel less alone through it all 🤝 And of course it’s all worth it for moments like this, snuggled up back in our own bed, with a baby Seb in my arms, a mountain of pillows, Rich by my side, and a cup of tea 🥰 #homefromhospital #newborn #postnatal #loveandalliscoming

Day 5 in hospital and we’re all going a bit stir crazy 🤪 Seb’s now spent more than half of his little life on the ward, we must have done about 500 laps walking up and down the corridor reading all the notice boards (you’re not allowed off the ward with baby 🥴), sampled every food option on the hospital menu (recommend the pasta bake on Wednesdays) and Seb’s been flirting shamelessly with all of the midwives 😘 Results are in and they’re now thinking my fever was due to a combo of my episiotomy stitches being infected and the mastitis- double whammy for Roosy 😉💪🏼 The antibiotics are working really well though, and we’ve been told we can finally go home later today! 🎉 Time to get out and enjoy this September sunshine ☀️ #hospitallife #postnatalrecovery #postnatal #postnatalward #mastitis #breastfeeding #episiotomy #hospital #2weekold #newborn #baby #birminghamwomenshospital #loveandalliscoming

2 weeks postpartum & we’re weirdly back at the women’s hospital again 😓 Thankfully it’s not because of Sebby -he’s chilled as a little bean these days- but unfortunately the postnatal period has not been such smooth sailing for me On Friday evening I started developing these on-off achey flu-like symptoms and weird chills. We put it down to being just another one of the joys of postpartum recovery, along with the night sweats, discharge, haemorrhoids and constipation, general exhaustion and aches and pains of the physical process of child birth. But then on Sunday morning it suddenly got more serious when I started violently shivering and my temperature shot up to 39.7 Celsius (that’s just over 103 Fahrenheit) 🔥🥵 Throughout the whole birth process I never once felt scared or like I didn’t know what was happening to me, but when your partner is a doctor who works in A&E and even they think you need to go into hospital, you know you’re not in a good way 😓 Needless to say I was pretty unwell. They hooked me up to a drip for antibiotics and put me in a private room on the delivery suite for overnight observation🤱🏼 After taking samples and swabs from every part of my body, it seems like it is most likely mastitis - a back log of milk in my breast that’s got infected. Now it’s being treated, I’m feeling so so much better, and they’ve moved me back up to be under the care of the lovely midwives on the postnatal ward, but they’re still keeping me on a drip for more antibiotics and are waiting for some more test results that they weren’t happy with 🤷🏼‍♀️ Hopefully it’ll be just one more night in hospital for us, and then we’ll finally able to get our little family back home again 💜 #postpartum #mastitis #womenshospital
