To tell you my baby has just been born?!

My DH has had to go home to see the dogs and will be back later with DS 4 so for now I am in hospital by myself. However it is a lovely quiet post natal ward with one other couple. I think she had a c section this morning so not up and around yet. We are also right next to the canteen for food! DS was born this morning on his due date and his waters were still intact! Sometimes called mermaid birth/en caul. I don’t have anyone to talk to in hospital so posting here shamelessly.

Congratulations, my third baby was also born a mermaid baby. He does seem quite lucky.

Marvellous news! What a lovely sunshiny day to be born upon.

Hope you are recovering well and baby is happy.

I remember gazing into Baby Kiss's eyes when it was just us two on the ward (snowy Christmas long ago!).

A precious time. Congratulations and thanks for posting your good news x

This is just lovely. I’d give anything to relive my Labour/birth/first days with newborn again. It really is the most incredible thing you can do. Congrats OP, he’s beautiful!

He's beautiful 💙 congratulations xxx

CouldItBeCake · 16/06/2022 22:28

Congratulations! I take it from your comment about the other lady having had a CS that you had a vaginal delivery? En caul babies by vaginal delivery are extremely rare! One of my boys was en caul by CS and that was rare enough 🙂

SomethingOnce · 16/06/2022 23:09

Aww, well done, OP, what a treasure Smile Congratulations to you and your family Flowers

LaLaKickSticks · 16/06/2022 23:26

Ahh what a lovely thread to stumble across! Ofc you’re not being unreasonable to share such happy news :) It brings back some really nice memories of that first night in hospital, just me and my
new baby. Enjoy your time with the little one, I hope the birth went well and you’re both grand ❤️🥰

Starsky82 · 16/06/2022 23:50
