Thandeka has had her baby! Hurrah!

[Umlellala]

Thandeka has asked me to tell you that she had her bonny (9lb 5oz - ouch) baby girl on Sunday (7th Feb).

Sounds a bit of an epic (v intense contractions v quickly, failed epidural, episiotomy + forceps eventually. Ventouse came off with a pop..!)

but babyThandeka is here! And in NICU doing well. Can't wait to see them both

at last!
was beginning to think that baby was never going to arrive.
congratulations.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Thandeka

Sounds like an epic alright, but am so happy to hear that she's had her little girl...

Congratulations!

Yay for Thandeka and her LO!

Best of luck to the whole family x

Brilliant, I have been checking all the time to see what has happened.

Congratulations to Thandeka and family

ta muchly- half back! baby on boob at mo- completely hideous experience and baby possibly suffered some brain damage during delivery as seen in her mri scan yday- but things are positive- she acts like a normal baby- wees, poos, sleeps, boobs, stares at black and white contrast.

she was in neonatal intensive care for 5 days- attached to all moniotrs fed by tube etc.

so am hopeful will be fine- one day when more time i will have to post aboout the whole experience- more to help me process it than anything else.

But she is gorgeous though and we love her very much!

Thandeka - Sorry to hear you and baby had a rough time. It sounds really promising that she is doing everything she should be doing.

I think it would help you to write down your experience. If not on mn then in a note book perhaps. I have seen on here that it does help to get it all out IYSWIM.

Fingers crossed for you that all is ok and you both have a speedy recovery
