A week ago my son was born healthy, happy, and not looking to much like his father.  A week ago to the minute I wasn't sure if I'd be able to hug my wife again. A few hours after she gave birth via c section she continued to bleed but at a much higher rate than was normal. Her nurse trained spidey sense kicked in and knew something was up. She called a doctor and they whisked her away. Over the next few hours they gave her 3 units of blood and started her on clotting meds. The whole time we were told ( at her request I later learned) that nothing was wrong and that everything was ok. I know I ain't the sharpest tack in the box but I along with her brother started to get a sense that this was bullshit. To make a long story short she was on clotters for a couple days and although quite weak for a few days she recovered well enough to help bring Rhys home on Sunday and even carry him up a couple flights to our apartment. Scary as fuck but all's well that ends well. They're both home and doing great. I am truly thankful for all I have. I'm gonna go hug and kiss them both now and be glad that I can. |

That must have been scary! Glad your wife is ok! Pretty amazing that she's able to carry the baby up the stairs a week after a c-section, strong lady you have there!
Congrats on Rhys' homecoming!

I'm glad she is fine and that everything worked out okay. It's nice to hear a happy ending hospital story for once.

We shared the carrying. Didn't want her to strain too much. She's stronger than I'll ever be. haha |

Sorry you had to go through that. Man, seeing my wife post-c section was scary. She was moaning and rocking, bleeding a lot and speaking in whispers. She was a pale shadow of the strong woman she usually is and it was scary. For about 4 hours my unadulterated joy at seeing my son was tempered by worry for my good lady. Thoughts about what the hell I would do without her were flashing in my mind all that time, then she woke up at one point and smiled at me... and I knew she was OK. The best part was seeing her cuddle my son for the first time the next day after the pain subsided! Anyway, congrats again man. I hope you are getting as much joy as I am from being a father |
