We had our 5.5 week appointment yesterday, and the midwife who delivered her was very pleased with how she was doing. Jason had to remind me to tell her I was still bleeding, which left her a bit concerned. She’s sending me to get an ultrasound to look for retained placental fragments, though nothing looked like that would be the case during the birth. If there is, I have to have a D&C, which honestly sounds horrid and awful. They may also put me on antibiotics, which would suck because I think that’s what set off Daphne’s digestive issues. Fortunately, I don’t have to wait longer than Saturday to find out. Unfortunately, I have to try to pump enough for a feeding or two since I have to dump my first breasts-full after a procedure, should it happen.

She’s been having good days, and I took my chances and finally made it to my first yoga class since the day I went into labor. She wasn’t the most cooperative, and wanted to feed (but badly) when we got there, and again an hour later. She also had to be held for a while (which the teacher did, but not quite the way I suggested since she had just eaten and spit up twice). But it was great to get out and move, even if just a bit.
