@Romy_Holland Mine tends to use the space he has. If he's in his cot, he'll have a party and roll around all night. If he's with us, he'll be pretty much still, but will tend to wake every 3 or so hours, and re-settle after wiggling a little.
@maiab I had the exact same experience. Labor was 44 hours, my body had nothing left, I was terrified to hold the baby incase I dropped him. I still felt contraction pain and intense aches for 3 hours afterwards. It upsets me that I couldn't bond in that moment
