Hannah May made her entrance to the world at 8.14am on Thursday November 28th

She weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and is 49cm long.

The short version of the birth story :

On Wednesday eve just after 11pm I had some red blood when I wiped. I phoned down to the hospital and was told to pop down to be on the safe side. When examined at 12.45am, I was fully effaced and 1cm dilated. I was told to walk about a while. Contractions started 6 mins apart but quickly started to come 2 mins apart. Taken to a delivery suite. We held off till DH arrived following a 200km drive to break the waters. By 6am I was at the pushing stage. No pain relief, just breathing, massage & visualisation. After an hour and a half of pushing, baba's heartbeat dropped and the midwife recommended a kiwi ventouse delivery. Hannah arrived shortly after at 8.14am.

Thrilled DH made it to hospital in time and that I managed without meds.
Disappointed that we couldn't have delayed cord cutting and DH didn't get to do the clamping.

We had skin to skin and a first wee feed before leaving delivery room. Overall a positive experience and we are besotted with our wee woman.

Amazing news! So happy you're doing well and you have my admiration for no pain meds!!! Enjoy every minute!

Have you tried acupressure? There are spots we can do ourselves. Might be worth a try.

Good luck with your c section .
I have been told I will be induced once I reach 37 weeks as my blood pressure n protein still high even tho meds doubled.

We thought the whole pregnancy that our bump was blue... Well SURPRISE our baby is a girl!!! We had both always wanted a girl; her dad has 4 brothers heh. She gave us the surprise of our lives a week ago when she was delivered via planned csection at 37 weeks. The operation went well, recovery is a bit tough - I think if we didn't forget how tough this major surgery is we would never have a second also her brother had gastro for 5 days keeping dad at home with him so I had little help at the hospital.

But it was all worth it. I'll post a pic once I find hosting
