FINALLY! After contractions running through Weds night, Thurs day, Thursday night and being told I was not in labour because I was 2 cms for 24 hours, Niamh Mae was born on Friday 28 May at 16.41. Beautiful baby girl. Delivered by Ventouse and a whole load of drugs - the lot!

Posteriour birth was definitely the problem and stopped dilation but pains were very difficult and prolonged. After gas and air, pethidine, epidural, oxytocin and avoiding a caesarean at last minute, all was well.

Will write more later as have had virtually no sleep all week and Niamh has just started crying again after falling asleep for the first time since yesterday afternoon!!! nightmare

Many congratulations Egypt and welcome to the world Niamh Mae. The posterior birth I had with DS was very similar - well done for getting through it.
