hi ladies, well on mon 19th dec it all happened quite quickly and baby emily charlotte came into the world weighing a bouncing 8llb 10oz!what a whopper! we got to the hospital with about 50 mins to spare, just in time to fill up the birth pool and have a quick whiff of entonox.The midwife practically rubbed her hands together in excitement once she realised I wanted to use the pool.Two student midwives gazed on in ABSOULUTE AMAZEMENT at the birth, which was a very beautiful and healing experience for me.I am so proud of myself!! Afterwards I was very lucky to get a small room all to myself, and I just got baby emily in bed with me for the rest of the night and nursed her through the night with the lights dimmed,it was BLISS.
