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.

people are going to start fake birth announcement threads now to see how many posts they get and how popular they are Wink

well done Enid, and well done little Bea - wonderful news.

I was in your position this time last year so your wonderful anouncement has sent me from wistful to down right soppy!!

Sending lots of happy vibes to your lovely family.

Awwwwwww. Congrats Enid Smile. I'm moving house tomorrow, DH is hovering over my shoulder to take the pc apart, but had to hop on and see if you'd posted, first.

I got the sex right, but was miles out on the weight
