Know it's a bit late but Evie Lauren was born on Friday 16th July @ 09.55 after a horrific labour - 28 hours in total.

She weighed 8lb 9oz and is absolutely gorgeous. Am absolutely besotted with her, cannot imagine her not being here.

Hope to catch up with everyone.

congratulations I was only 4 days behind you as well, sounds horrific we will have to swap stories but well worth it in the end

Beautiful names. The whole birth thing is a bit of a design flaw isn't it? Treasure these magical days with your dd and congratulations.

HI there - only just saw this - huge CONGRATS. You must be a very proud mama!!

Was wondering where you were, congrats on becoming a mum, am studiously ignoring the nightmare labour bit as I still have 2 weeks of being a fat whale before my due date.

Lovely name too!

Thanks everyone for your lovely messages

Evie is doing great, i am absolutely besotted and so is her dad

Wont post details here but birth was more horrific than could ever have imagined - am in the process of complaining about the hospital and the care i received - but at least she is here now and she is beautiful.

Thanks again for all your messages and all of your support over the last 9 months - you have all been great x

Sorry to hear you had a terrible experience. It might help to write it all down here and you may feel better after 'discussing' it with MNetters.
Would be good to be able to offer support whenever you can get online. Best wishes, mears.
