Lydia Jane, born 12.02pm on Tuesday 23rd September, 6 days late.

Had a sweep in the morning, already 3 cm dilated. Contractions started 3pm on 22nd, went into hosp at 9pm, gas & air and TENS, had pethidine at 2am, and slept till 6ish. At 9am, STILL only 3cm dilated despite 18hours of contractions was still only 3cm, so had waters broken. Followed by an epidural, (mmm lovely) Thankfully, I finally started dilating, and at 11.30 was 9cms.

Then pushed for 10 mins, and Lydia was born at 12.02pm, 8lb 11.5oz, 50cm long. She was put straight on my stomach, where she peed on me. grin

DD1 loves her, calls her Iddie, and it's all gone lovely so far!

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
