something the books forgot to tell you

So a lot of the books like to tell you to have a birthing plan right?  well in theory again they are right.  but one thing they forgot to tell you is what if something comes up and your baby has decided they want to hang out in side that nice little diner resort you've created, and you have to have a c-section... in my case that's exactly what happened.  I was in the hospital for 3 days.  Thank god being a girl and over pack even to go to the hospital.

The other thing is also if you have chosen to breast feed they definitely didn't tell you had bad it was gonna be at first.  Imagine taking sand paper rubbing it all over your boobs until they bleed, that's what it feels like.  And the nurses in the hospital and your mom and possibly mother in law they all forgot to mention this.  Thanks for nothing!  there are a few things you can pack to make this a little easier, there are so many companies now that make these really awesome gel boob pads that help with the pain and a lot of the tube sav stuff works well to.  Now here is a real parent moment:  if you think this stuff will heart the baby or their stomach stop right now and think to your self " would they really make something for breastfeeding mothers to go on their boobs that would be Bad?" 

Also something the books forgot was, sleep.  if you think for one minute you will get any sleep while your in the hospital, think again.  The nurses will be in every 2 hours checking on the baby, bringing them to the nursery to get checked out by the pediatrician, and also checking on the status of any pee or poop the baby has produced for you... And god for bid the baby hasn't eaten in 2-3 hours.  Trust me when i saw they will make you get up wake the baby up that just feel asleep to feed them.  Ok another real parent moment, didn't the books and your dr all say sleep when the baby sleeps?  how in the hell are you gonna sleep when every time you turn around you have a new visitor who dying to see the new bundle of joy you have just birthed out, and want to talk to you about how your delivery went and tell you how theirs went. Guess what I don't care didn't ask thanks but please leave me alone, the baby doesn't want you all in their face their a little tramatized as well.  my suggestion is don't tell anyone you are going to the hospital wait a week then tell them.  The moment people know the baby is hear you have just lost everything.  Your opinion is out the window you have just become incompatent of how to do anything, and all people will say to you is.  I'll watch the Baby so you can get some stuff done. 

My question is like what?  do the dishes make food, how about you do that and i will watch my own baby, if i spent 40 weeks (ten months, something else that needs to be rewritten not 9 months) carrying this little poop machine and going through however many hours of labor, I deserve to spend time on the couch holding my baby.  thanks again but no thanks!
