Molly's first 24 hours...

Molly's first 24 hours have been quite quiet, she has slept a lot and has still not fed yet. She is still full of amniotic fluid, mucus and other appalling gubbins (most of which is normally squeezed out during the birth process), so will still feel like she has just eaten Christmas dinner, apparently. Her blood sugars are fine though and she is not dehydrated. No doubt she will wait until say, 2 am for her first proper feed !

Helen is feeling a fair bit better today. She has had the drain and catheter removed and the on demand morphine syringe. She is going to have a try at walking this evening. She is really touched by the level of interest people have shown by following the blog and passing on their messages.

I will upload a couple of pictures from today in a few minutes, then I am back off to the hospital again !
