Carmen Rosalind Esme was born at 5.36pm on Sat 10 Sept, delivered in our bathroom by ambulance crew after a scary half-hour labour. 8lb 6oz (ow ) and beautiful.

All well - I'm a bit sore but beginning to emerge from the shock ... full story to follow at some point

Franch, what a wonderful birth story!

What's the age gap between your DDs?

Congratulations!

Welcome to baby Carmen

Now, that's what I wanted to hear! DS will be 21mo when this one arrives...love that your DD1 is so sweet with DD2! Must be SO cute to see!

Fantastic, sooo pleased for you, It must be something about 10 sept babies, they dont hang around!!! should have warned you about that,

Big hugs, lupins

Wonderful news Franch. So glad you got the birth you wanted. I had an elective c-section as Grace was breech, only discovered the day before she was born! And after experiencing natural labour (albeit induced) and a c-section, I would rater delivery naturally any day. Am finding it very restrictive now doing things that need doing around the house. No lifting, driving, etc. etc.
I loved your birth story, and hope to follow in your footsteps the next time around! Yes, I'm up for another asap!!! Little Gracie would love a brother, I'm sure!

wow, Franch, that's a great story!

congratulations and very well done!

DD, sorry to hear about your c-section but many congratulations on Grace (lovely name).

Thanks SB
