My beautiful son Reuben was born yesterday at 11:34am, after a hard and fast labour of 4 hours. I left home for the hosp at 9:45am, arrived at 10am.
He weighed 7lb 7oz, was delivered with the help of gas & air only, and I got to have a natural third stage.
had waters broken by MW after they refused to go on their own, and 19 mins later, he arrived! DH cut the cord.
Unfortunately, the MW panicked about his breathing which was fine, but called the paediatrician in, which meant I could not leave hosp until he was signed off again, and this did not happen til today. But it did mean I got to spend some good time with just me and my boy.
Who is absolutey stunning.
Reuben, you make our family complete. xx
