New Arrival for Tillysmummy

Hi all,

Charles Oscar Mitchell arrived on Tuesday
9th March at 5.09am weighing 6lbs 12 oz. We are all doing well. He is very
cute and well behaved so far. I'll be eating my words soon no doubt !! I had
a nightmare labour. Having had all the consultants and docs telling me to go
straight to the hospital at the smallest sign because they were afraid he
might drop out because of the speed of my labour with Tilly, this was a
completely different experience !! 25 hours of labour. 23 with gas and air
and then 2 failed epidurals, heart monitor on his head and finally an
emergency caesarean !! He had the cord wrapped around his body and neck. The
reason for the length and pain of the labour (so much worse than Tilly) was
because he was back to back.
We are all very well though and I am recovering well from the op. Main thing
is that all is well. As some of you may know there was a problem with one of
Charlie's lungs. He has a small cyst on it. But luckily he had no problems
breathing at birth and is doing really well now so fingers crossed. Will write more later.

Thanks

Many congratulations TM

It's always lovely to hear people's birth stories but it is so much nicer when it feels like someone you know!

I remember when we all used to sit on the TTC boards - cannot believe the time has come around already

I hope everything stays as wonderful with Charles as it is now - i'm sure it will
