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.

Fabulous news Enid. Congratulations to you all.

Did Bea turn before the birth, or was she still spine to spine? I'm so, so, so glad you had your wonderful waterbirth.

Great stuff Enid, it all sounds totally wonderful!
Re small babies, my dds were 6lb (2 wks early) and 6lb 13 (1 wk early)

They grow quickly though Grin

Welcome to your little Princess Bea!

Girlband name should be The Enids Smile

Congratulations Enid. Lovely name and lovely sounding birth. This little ones always pop out easily - my dd was 6 lb 15 oz and I had her out in a couple of pushes! She will soon pile on the weight .
