Quackers new arrival!!!!!!!!

9 days late, baby Georgina Kate arrived by emergency c section on Thursday 5th weighing 6 pounds 14 oz's and she's a little lamb!!!!!

We got home last night finally, so only just getting chance to post!

Went for my induction Thursday, but nothing happened really except we kept getting heart decelerations with the contractions. Her heart went down to 50 beats and did not recover well at all each time and I kept having to have oxygen. THe consultant was called out at 9.30pm and tried to break my waters to see if it would make a difference but she had hooked baby's nose! So she was presenting by the face. That was causing the distress. So went straight to theatre. She was born half an hour later and it was an amazing experience! The staff really looked after me during the op and afterwards and I'm eternally grateful to the consultant for finding out the problem and acting so quickly. I might have lost her. So alls well that ends well!!!

Wow! You're all wonderful! I will print this page and put it with her little keepsake box! I have a wonderful set of cybermums!!!
Well of course she's lovely (but I'm biased!). Very contented apart from some bad wind getting in the way all the time! Think she'll settle in well!! DD1 has the odd 'moment' but she'll get used to it!
Thanks again for all you lovely lovely messages. I haven't been as active on Mumsnet of late as I'm not at work, but people have really made my day!!! Thankyou! xxxx
btw, nose looking much better!

ooooooh congratulations Quackers, glad to hear all is ok after your dramatic birth experience. I had an emergency c as well due to heart rate but recovered well, make sure you order everyone around whilst putting your feet up and rest.
