I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl Helena today. First started trying in September 2016 and suffered three miscarriages since then. Almost gave up trying at the start of this year but got my BFP in February and today she is finally here! DH and I are over the moon to be parents at last, and I don't even care that I had an awful 26 hour labour followed by an unplanned C section because I AM A MUM!! Here is my amazing little girl!

Congratulations and what a beauty. Enjoy every single second as it flies too quick. I remember my sister saying to enjoy those nights when your baby wakes and you and your baby only one awake. Thought she was made but now with a three year old ok not tried i miss those days. Youve so much to look forward too...the first smile, the first laugh, the first reaching fir sometning, crawling, first steps, the first word...but for now just enjoy hugging your beautiful little girl x

Congratulations on your gorgeous baby. My eyes might be leaking a bit! xxxx

TheArtfulScreamer1 · 22/10/2019 21:57

Aww I remember that high, I had my DD in March after 5 years TTC and a round of IVF she also took a bit of persuading to come out after labour started on a Tue and I then had EMCS on the Fri morning. Every baby is special but ones hard come by feel extra special and I still gaze in awe at my DD and thank the heavens above. Congratulations Flowers
