Alexa808 has had her little baby girl

[Alexa808]

Hello everyone,

thank you for all the support in the last 9 months, the answers, the sharing and confidence building.

On October the 2nd my DH and I welcomed our first baby into the world. Tienette is a healthy and lusty baby at 48cm and 3295g. She is so very adorable and a real angel sleeping for up to 5 1/2h and snuffling and smelling so lovely.

A space in my heart has been filled out that I never knew existed. A tugging that aches and makes me so happy at the same time. She looks like her Daddy but has my eyes and lips...ahhh...

I'm in love.

Sorry if this is inappropriate on a birth announcement thread, but could you say whether Epi-NO was effective?

[Alexa808]

Hello all, the little rat (earth rat to be precise as it's 2008) is schnoozing and cooing in her sleep. It's soooo adorable. I already know I want more

expectant: yes, definitely, as soon as I can swing myself into a car again. Or you come up to ours.

Thanks egypt & slim: I'm finally at home. The hospital staff were lovely but throughout I was in a lot of pain once they took my pethidine away from me... I could hardly move until 2 days ago & I'm still on drugs. Would love to catch up and see you both and the little ones. If time allows for you, please drop by!!

CoteDAzur: I did the Epi-NO nearly till the end & I haven't tinkled myself again and am definitely stronger down there. However, I went through with my CS so no tearing there. My friend has given birth 2 weeks prior to me and had been using it, too. Only very small tear despite a tall 3.6kg baby. Am using it again to keep tight. I think it's useful for any woman, not just in pregnancy.

Thank you so much everyone else!!! myjob: I'm glad to hear you feel that way. I have been wondering how one could possibly feel double or triple the love but it seems to come easily. Congrats to you!! Enjoy your little darlings. x
