Hello Everyone,
Orla Bridget was born Easter Saturday at 2.20am. Labour was induced and Baby was born six and a half hours later. Both Mrs Doolittle and baby are home safe and sound. Labour was induced and baby was born six and half hours later.
Thank you to all those who have offered support and advice in the weeks previous - I have been quoting Mumsnet ever since even during labour!!!
