Congratulations!! What a fantastic birth story! Gosh, I'm new to third tri & reading your story really brought back memories for me!!! Eli is gorgeous!

So was this birth a lot different to that of your son? My son will be 23 mnths when no2 arrives so a very similar gap

Xx

Thank you!

This birth was definitely faster than with my first son. My first labour was 5 hours, followed by 2 hours of pushing (he wasn't face up like this one but was still at a difficult angle......I don't seem to have much luck when it comes to the angle/pushing! lol) and I had gas and air.

Other than that, it was pretty identical. Intense contractions that always started after my water broke, relatively quick, etc. The main difference was how my water broke since I had that obvious 'gush' with my first son. I also had 2 stitches with him and I think that's because I had a doctor who was all about getting the baby out whereas the midwife this time around really worked with me on when to push, she applied hot compresses and gel, and used her fingers to ease the tissues around baby's head as he was crowning. BIG difference!!

Enjoy the age gap too! It's been a bit challenging so far but my 22 month old loves to help out and we just involve him as much as possible and let him know that the new baby is just as much his responsibility as he is ours.
