Thank You!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of u for your support and guidance through a difficult first time pregnancy. I could not have got through it without u and I'm very proud to announe the arrival of Elliot Christopher at 7.50am on 25 Aug. He weighed 6lb 10oz and following a drama filled labour (he was almost born at home!) after 40 mins of noted labour he came into the world. For those ftm in uk, please ensure u get checked internally if u think u r in labour they sent me home without doing so at 5.30 am without checking and told me I wasn't in labour cos they felt my contractions were too irregular and I didn't seen too be in enough pain when I had them. I was trying to stay calm and manage the pain through breathing techniques as taught by midwife so I could have a water birth! By 6am I was trying not to push and my husband was on the phone to hospital and paramedics. We r just happy that all is ok and our baby is perfect, we even left the hospital at 1pm the same day!

I only had gas and air cos by the time I got back to the hospital I had to push and he would have been born by the time anything else worked. It meant there was nothing in his or my system aftetwards. They were happy he was feeding so I asked to go home. The longest part and what seemed more painful were the stitches....ouch! I wish the rest of u the best of luck, believe it or not its not long till they arrive ;-)
