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!

One of the rare AIBU threads in which I suspect and more than that hope EVERYONE writes YANBU!!!!

Your daughter is absolutely beautiful.
I am so pleased for you that you have found happiness after your previous losses. There really is nothing like holding your newborn baby for the first time. You do somehow forget what you go through to bring them into the world. Must be love! Enjoy the precious, simply wonderful cuddles. The best feeling in the world. Fact ♥️
