A piece of pie.

[pie]

Well without an induction (ok I had a sweep on Thursday) and without a fuss Anastasica Eileen Rose arrived at 10.14 am yesterday (4th Oct 12 days early).

Contractions started at 3.53am...hospital by 8am, 4cm dilated. In the birth pool by 9.30am, baby was born underwater. Tried gas and air for an hour but it made me feel demented

Can't quiet believe it.

Weighed in at 6lbs 8oz.

I had a male midwife the whole time, who was great.

And I would like to say a big thank you to Pupuce, doula extrodinare (sp?) who saved my DDDDH from dealing with my awful transition period alone and turned out to be a pretty darn fine photographer .

And I'd like to say thank you for all the amazing massive suport you've all given me over the past few months, mumsnet has helped me more than I can ever say.

Can you tell I'm tired and emotional

I am so delighted that it all worked out for you in the end - what a lovely birth. So glad Pupuce was able to be there for you. Well done
