Hi everyone and thanks Kat for keeping everyone updated. Well I am absolutely shattered after no sleep for 48 hours but so glad it is all over and I have my gorgeous little boy home with me now. My labour was very painful but thankfully very quick (about 9 hours in total) I went from 4 cms to 8 cms very quickly so there was no time for any pethidine it was straight in the water where he was born within maybe about 2 hours. I was so scared and like Kat said I felt like he was gonna come outa my bum and the contractions were so sore as they were all in my back. It was kind of surreal when he came out and as he was back to back his little face was looking up at me, midwifes said I was very lucky to have had him that way with no stitches or other complications. I felt really sick after I had him until about lunchtime yesterday when I had a wee salad which I couldn't eat much of but I enjoyed what I did have, got home last night and was tucking into cheesy beans on toast today and some chocs. Will add some pics later, Stephen's uploading some onto facebook now - excuse how rough I look lol! Thanks for all your support everyone I really never thought I would get to this stage and I am so glad it is all over, I hope that you girls still suffering get some relief soon too xxx
