the (rather swift) arrival of DS3 - Takunda Myles was born at 4.17pm this afternoon and we're all home and doing well.

Brief version (as I have a glass of Martini Asti waiting downstairs).

Arrived at hospital at 12.45 contractions still sort of all over the place. Was examined at 1.30 and was "just" 3cm.........EVERYTHING went according to my birth plan, was mobile, had no continous monitoring, refused to have a canula inserted "in case" and I pushed Takunda out on my own (with knees on the bed arms and head hanging over the almost vertical top of the bed LOL) with only gas and air (and a FABULOUS Doula and DH) to support me.

Still completely gobsmacked that with my 'history' I went from 3cm to having had him in just under 3hrs .

Shall update with longer birth story in a few days or so.

Congratulations.

Wow! Congratulations FA

Congratulations to you all - what lovely news

Congratulations!!!!! Absolutely thrilled for you all - Enjoy every precious moment. God Bless you honey. xxxx

Thanks everyone - shall add a few pictures (including a glorious shot of my backside with Takunda's head sticking out ) a bit later - just waiting on the MW to visit (strangely she was due to come today anyhow for an antenatal visit.......instead it's my first postnatal one ).

PT - I didn't know he'd taken it until afterwards - I had my back to him as I was leaning over the back of the bed........nearly throttled him when he told me - but once I'd seen the picture (and realised you can't actually see my face - phew) I decided it was actually quite cool .

Going to try and get some piccies uploaded now while he's asleep,
