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!

Beautiful. Well done. Enjoy every minute of it Flowers

LittleAndOften · 22/10/2019 18:15

Congratulations! I had an emcs with my first too, afterwards you realise it's the baby that's the important thing, not the birth!

Having said that I'm 2 weeks (plus 4 years and 3 m/cs) from having number 2 and I do hope it's less eventful than last time!

Enjoy your beautiful girl ❤️
