A blessing on your labour and upon the fruit of your labour.

Now shut down the computer and focus on yourself.

Ladies I have news: It's a girl! Rose has been born! Labour was less than two hours, no pain relief or stitches required, all at home so so fast. A 1st of May Beltane baby. Luckily they sent two midwives who were great. There wasn't even time for bath and you wouldn't have guessed it had happened here at all as all is tidy and lovely, not much fuss!

Have fed baby Rose and now she's sleeping.

Really thank you all for your encouragement couldn't type but read them and it helped!

Woohoo!! Well done you!

Hopefully you manage to get some sleep soon, although the first night after I had all of mine I was wide awake with the excitement!

Huge congratulations :):)
