AIBU to start a thread purely to luxuriate in the fact that I FINALLY HAVE A BABY!!

[Secretlifeofme]

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!

@emmetgirl :)

Glad to hear it!!!! (They are kind of cute and pretty delicious)

I've heard Helen-a, Heleena and Helayna so could've been any! I'm a Helen myself, loving your choice. And those cheeks....😍😍😍

Congratulations she’s beautiful, hope you’re both ok

Congratulations!

Welcome to the world beautiful Helena.

Congratulations she is beautiful, Helena is a lovely name and YANBU at all, be proud of yourself and your lovely family!

What a lovely thread. ❤️🧡💛💚💙

Congrats OP and OPs husband. What an adorable baby. Although, to be fair, all babies are adorable. 😌

Fantastic name too!

Op she’s edible!!! Enjoy every amazing minute. Wish I could smell her head...... (going all gooey)

Congratulations ❤️
I waited 6 years for my little girl - it's an incredible moment when they finally arrive isn't it? So blessed. Enjoy every moment, it truly does go too fast!

many congratulations she is beautiful

Congratulations, she is beautiful, hope you recover well and she settles in well 😍

You do realise we need birthday photos every year for ever more! She’s a darling. Love to you all.

So adorable.

So it's pronounced 'Helen-a!' Such a nice name!

I think Hel-AY-na is more common in European countries. My DC went to college with someone who was from Russia, and she was called Helena, and it was pronounced Hel-AY-na.

She is gorgeous @Secretlifeofme I am so pleased for you!

@wheresthehope your wee boy is adorable too! Many congratulations to you also!!!

What a beauty congratulations xx

Just one more and I will stop, I promise

Oh how wonderful.
Many congratulations to you all

She is beautiful.

She's adorable!!

Congratulations it's the best feeling in the world
