Thomcat's in labour! All best wishes and positive vibes here, please!

Had a text this morning saying her waters had broken.

Had another one a minute or three ago to say contractions ten minutes apart.

And another just now to say she's "having a lovely time. Can feel this bubba moving down and feel amazing. Sun is shining and everything."

Will keep you posted!

What she neglected to tell you was the way that she vaulted into the birthing pool the minute the mw said she could go in.

It was one of the biggest privileges of my life to be at that birth. I have never see such a beautiful birth. TC trusted herself and her body and just went with it. Her face and breathing changed 3 times when I was there and each time heralded a new change. When she thought she was going to lose it I reminded her not to fight it but to relax into in and breathe. 2 contractions later the most amazingly gorgeous baby girl was breathed into the world. She did it all. TC was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad she's finally posted this story. It was everything anyone would want a birth to be.

Dom makes a fab sandwich btw
