Enid and dh are retiring and starting a girl band!

[Enid]

Dd3 Beatrice (Bea) born yesterday night at 10.15pm, she is divine but TINY (6lb 8oz ).

The birth was completely amazing, in the pool, at home with dh and my best friend in attendance as well as three of the most lovely midwives. Bea didn't cry at all, she slithered into the water, I lifted her up, she looked at me and nuzzled onto my chest and went back to sleep .

Will post details later.

Feeling tired but very happy and relaxed with a tiny graze and AGONISING after pains. Bea is already feeding very well.

ERmm few days late. but all sounds heavenly which is not how I am anticipating my forthcoming labour day.

I want one like that - with wine and pool and best friend.

How wonderful. A pre-bank holiday present. The birth sounds lovely. Congratulations!!

comign to this a bit late in the day, but really pleased you had such a lovely home birth and glad you went for the pool after all!

Congratulations Enid, beautiful photo on the other thread. :)

All these mares who foaled while I was away... sheesh...
Gorgeous name BTW and your birth sounds perfect
I hope you knew about witch hazel for the graze and hope the afterpains are dying down
Massive congrats :)

Congratulations, Enid, and welcome to Beatrice! First I've been able to check MN for weeks hence the delay. Hope everything is going well.
