Oliveoil has sprung a BIG leak!

Baby Alice Rose arrived on Friday 27 August at 8.04am weighing in at 9lb 5.

Fast and furious delivery - waters broke at midnight, in hospital for 3am, fully dilated at 6am and born 2 hours later.

However, I don't do things straightforward and my contractions stopped and I had to have a vontouse (sp?) and epistiotomy (sp???), due to my previous section they didn't want me to labour too long.

All this on only gas and air, much to my disgust as my wails for a 'f**king epidural' could be heard bouncing off walls!

xxxxxxxx

Been witing for this announcement with baited breath! Many congratulations, and welcome to baby Alice.

I had an epiosiotomy and ventouse delivery so know how you must be feeling.

Take care and post again soon.
