This entry will carry on from when I delivered Noah up until we were discharged from hospital. Adjusting to motherhood means this entry has taken me longer than usual (that and Chris has been borrowing my laptop!)
Immediate care After being a drill sergeant to deliver Noah our midwife turned back into the lovely woman she had been all through labour. She gave me time to rest and recover, she had been understanding about the epilepsy and knew a bit of a break would be what I needed. Then I was taken off to the postnatal ward. Luckily due to the epilepsy they gave us a private room which meant Chris could stay with me. I don’t know what I would have done otherwise as after taking Clobazam and giving birth I was in no fit state to look after myself never mind Noah. Also this turned out to be doubly useful as we stayed in hospital for three nights following Noah’s birth due to him having jaundice and me not feeling 100%.
