Baby Olivia Hannah arrived at 07.50 am on 31 October weighing in at 8lbs 9 oz.

The labour was induced on 30 October at 11.00 am, strong contractions started at 4.00 pm went through to 11.00 pm when I begged for an epidural which took ages to come, think I got it at around 2.00 am started pushing at 6.00 am but she was determined not to come out on her own, her heartbeat went up so m/w felt some help was needed, she was born with forcepts at 7.50 am and is so beatiful. I didn't realise how happy this would make me feel, there were lots of tears shed in delivery room. Lots of stitches and really sore down there but every time I look at her I think it was all so worth it. Can't believe I am a Mommy finally.

Will join in on Oct parenting thread shortly to discuss sore nipples!!
