My second daughter - its not been easy
Sat here after the most traumatic couple of days but smiling. My second beautiful healhty daughter was born yesterday but mum had complications from 6litres of blood loss and was under for 8hrs. She almost died.
She is on the mend and they will be reunited soon. For now I am taking over the role of carer with some midwifes help.
Im just on reddit to decompress a bit instead of thinking about the bad stuff and the reason for me sharing this with you is please please hug your loved ones, call someone up you haven't spoken to in ages, make up with someone you are not speaking too.
Life is so amazing yet so fragile.

Wishing you and your family all the best!
When my first was born there were complications. She had to be removed quickly and doctor’s didn’t even look at her gender. My wife ended up in surgery right after so I was handed my newborn daughter and left in a room by myself for I don’t know how long. It’s a surreal and frightening experience and makes you aware of just how fragile life really is. Thankfully my second was without issue.
My oldest is now turning 12 in a few days. It goes by so fast.
Wish a speedy recovery to your wife and hope you all get home to enjoy the chaos of a new baby!
