I am very pleased to announce the arrival of our little girl - Carys Faith who was born 3wks and 2 days early yesterday afternoon.

After all the worry about her being breach, she wasn't after all and was born yesterday normally after a long labour (whoever said that labours are supposedly easier by no. 3 was a liar ).

I was admitted to hospital on Tuesday night after a bleed. DH stayed the night as I was having niggling but painful contractions - got examined at 6am yesterday morning which showed absolutely zilch progress. I was gutted after 12 hours of fairly uncomfortable contractions. I decided to get into the bath after the exam at 6am and this kickstarted things - she was born at 2pm and it hurt like hell. Carys is a good weight 7lbs10 and 51 cms and is feeding well, we'll be going home tomorrow to her delighted daddy and brothers.

HURRAH!!!!
Welcome little Carys xxxx

are you sure that's where she was conceived?

elkiedee · 07/05/2007 06:31

Congratulations (I assume you're on the May antenatal thread which I briefly started to peek at/posted a couple of times when April ended without my baby). Also well done on getting to use a pool, I would have loved this but the course of events had other plans and I hadn't really found a good opportunity to discuss it.

Budababe · 07/05/2007 08:07

Congrats - seemed to have missed this.

Lovely name and the pics are lovely too.
