The doctor tossed the baby onto my chest. I was in so much pain I barely noticed and by the time I did, they'd taken her away to wash her up.
He stitched me up. They said I'd hardly feel it after the pain from childbirth. They lied. It hurt.
I didn't see her for a while. So tired. I fell asleep.
Soon it was night. I heard her unique cry coming closer and closer. The nurse said she was hungry. I didn't know how to breastfeed. She didn't want to latch on.
I asked the nurse for help. She said "Keep on trying yeah?"
The baby wouldn't latch for the rest of the night.
