Thought I'd better announce the very late arrival of baby Ronnie!! He came 18 days late on Easter Sunday.
He is named after my Grandad and was born on what would have been the 99th birthday of my gran who died in September
He was born at 4.22 pm and weighed 8lbs 4ozs.
I'm not sure exactly when labour started as I'd been having very on off contractions since early in the morning and didn't actually believe I was in labour even just before he was born.
I kept asking ther midwive if he was going to be born today !!
He was born in my bedroom at home. I think from the onset of regular, painful contractions he took 1hr 20 mins to come, so quite quick I guess.
This was the first time I didn't tear and the placenta delivered itself almost as soon as he was born!!
I had gone into hospital earlier in the day for ctg monitoring but they didn't have a spare monitor so I decided to go home and whilst on the way out of the hospital felt the contractions start again.
Dp and I were desperately trying to get OUT of the hospital and go home for him to be born, usually it should be the other way round .
Anyway, today is the first day he has been settled. He cried as soon as he was born and has only just stopped, gut problems I think.
