[Deli]

Aaaw, congratulations hun!

Sorry to hear you had such a rough labour and birth. I had only back pain during my labour but my baby wasn't posterior - mother nature is a curious creature! All's well that ends well and you have your beautiful boy. Enjoy him!

 

[mamaofthree]

congratulations hun!!!! x x x

 

[angelpuss]

awww honey he is gorgeous! Sitting here blubbing you really did have it tough But now you have a beautiful bubba boy Huge congratulations to you all. You done so well hun

Ooooh names!! I think little man looks like a Joshua xxx

That was me as well. I was reading at work and could hear someone coming up the stairs to the office, so had to make sure there weren't still tears in my eye!!

Hence my very late reply...I've only just got back on my PC. I get evicted by my maternity replacement when she comes in, so that I can leave her to do all the work

Thanks for sharing your story with us, and letting us see the little man who kept us waiting...he is absolutely gorgeous!!! Well worth the wait and you were at home for about 95% of the labour, so he's a partial homebirth

As for names...what about Daniel Robin? Alot of my favourite names have already been suggested, including Joseph.

Anyway, Lots of love and to you, FOB, DD and your gorgeous boy

[emmi26]

aww hun i was quite shocked when i read yr birth story !! sounds like it must have been very scary for you !!! so so glad all is well and you and bubs are doing so well !! im going to miss stalking you !!! hope you stick around !!
yr baby boy is absolutely gourgeous couldnt be more cute and clearly very very content bless him. the home birth thing is always great but no-one can predict what will happen and yr bubs clearly needed a little more help than anticipated be proud of what you achieved when they ask where he was born say half in hospital half at home !!!
so proud of you cant wait for my turn yr my inspiration x x

Thank you again for your input and kind words. I will be passing on your suggestions so keep them coming. Angelpuss - you are welcome. I got to fully dilated and pushing - he just couldn't get out bless him.

Emmi26 - thank you hun. Its amazing just how much a certain thing can change everything - once I found out there was a situation it was like - do what you have just make sure my baby is safe... FOB was told in the ambulance 'you do not leave my side until this baby is out and is safe'...it was a very emotional half hour, i can honestly say i was wondering at one point if i was going to avoid an emergency c-section so to just end up with an episiotomy was a bit of a relief really however it is a wee bit sore hehe.

If anybody has any advice on coping with episiotomies i'd love to hear, i'm struggling a little bit with mine and the numbness lol

He's beautiful congrats. You did a great job, you didn't get your homebirth but you did all that work at home and transferred when your son needed you to. You should be super proud of yourself. x

 

[summerbaby]

Awww he's adorable babe. Well done for holding it together through a tough labour. I hope he is settling in well at home . Xx

 

[mumof1+1]

Thank you summerbaby. He's not doing too bad at all. He had his first poo today - i was lucky and didnt get the meconium ones - he must have passed what there was in the towel he was wrapped in at hospital , then he had a lovely runny yellow one (just thought i'd share that with you all ) He's currently only taking about 2oz every 2-4 hours but thru the night he tends to want only 1oz per hour so im trying to work a way to convince him to have a little more. Daddy fed him tonight, for the first time (he's scared he'll break him!!!) and he took 2oz for him and he's now in bed so im just having a lst check on my lovely ladies and then im going to bed, see if we can get more sleep than the last 3 nights!

Sweet dreams everyone
