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

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 Smile.

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.

Enid, cod is clearly jealous that your bf has seen your fanjo and she hasn't. Could you post pic of the small graze in member profiles, and shut her up?

Sorry - this is a fluffy and misty-eyed thread for little Bea.....sorry....

Don't know if I have ever "spoken" to you, but have seen all the threads/posts over the last couple of days. Just wanted to add my congratulations, and what a lovely name.
