In honour of Christiana CS tomorrow thought I'd start a new thread as the other one getting unwieldly.
Best of luck Christiana
Congratulations, we're all on the post natal thread if you get time

Oh my goodness how a month passes with a newborn. I guess it's really rather too late to post on here but feels wrong not to after feeling so supported on this thread.
My beautiful daughter Anoushka was born on the 31st of July. She was a very straightforward HBAC, though rather long at 12 hours. 8.5 lbs and a very heavy pushing stage as I had no pushing contax whatsoever and head not engaged just had to push like mad to get her out due to threats to transfer from midwife.
Was a wonderful outcome am elated to have managed the home birth naturally, as they don't do gas and air over here.
Please excuse my belated announcement and sorry that I haven't been back to read all the posts, just been hectically busy with my toddler and newborn.
Once again many thanks and good luck to you all.
Hey woolyjo, I didn't post when I first read your news because I was too upset for you to bring my thoughts to coherence on here. I'm sure that you feel like the world should have stopped. I'd like to wish you all the best for your continued journey back into real life, and especially for ttc. I found that particularly hard hormonally after my mmc, and as someone who has been there before Naimh, I hope that you manage to keep perspective and stay strong. Life is just so unfair for some and I hope and pray that your next birth is a joyful occasion. As my LO is kicking around in my belly as I type, I am so sobered by your experience. If MN crossed fingers count in the balance of karma, I think you're headed for a good year!
Dear Woolyjo All the very best for your next pregnancy, yes it will be anxious but be as strong and as positive as you can. take care x
hi woolyjo I too have been thinking of you and hoping you are coping. I wish you so much luck with a new pregnancy - but know we will always think of Niamh.
Hi WoollyJo
I am so glad to hear from you, I have thought about you probably every day for the last 7 weeks. I wish dearly that it could be easier for you somehow but I imagine that would feel 'wrong' too. You sound incredibly strong and I will always think of you and I send positive loving vibes for your gradual adjustment to your and Niamh's journey.
Hia woolyjo, its nice to hear from you, I wish you all the best for your future & hope you find peace and happyness soon.x x
Hi Woolyjo I am so glad you found the strength to post on here, you are never far from my thoughts either and I have often wondered how you and your family are. Sending you many hugs and lots of hope for the future xxxxx
I still think about you too. I wish you all the luck in the world in trying for another baby. x
woolyjo Hiya, good to hear from you. You are honestly never far from my thoughts, I really mean that and I do hug my LO and treasure her and think how lucky I am. My first baby was born woth the cord round her neck twice and a huge 'true knot', she needed help breathing when she was born and luckily she was ok but the MW commented at the time that most babies would be stillborn. As u can imagine it was my nightmare through my pregnancy and I just hate that it has actually happened to you and your family, words just can't describe how unfair it is. I'm still so sorry for you all.
I hope you can get yourself out of your slump and best of luck with trying again, keep us posted, take care xxx
