Well, Miles Theodore was born at 10.30 last night after a zen-like 3.5 hour labour and 3 pushes. At home in the birthing pool as planned. It was fantastic, and completely relaxed, and couldn't have been more different to my previous two labours! No tearing/stitching, practically no blood loss, all perfect. Oh, and 8lbs 9oz.
He is lovely and sweet and has just given me 4 hours sleep so hurrah for Miles!
Will post more later...
PPH xx
