Just to let you know went into hospital early hours of Thursday morning and gave birth to a lovely baby girl at 9.25 that morning. 7lbs, name Alice.

Labour was extremely painful, blood pressure shot up so had to be moved. In the end had pethadine which wasnt planned but it helped a little. Contractions every minute and no dilation then all of a sudden 4cm and born an hour or so later. Last two stages only 25mins. I felt a complete wimp and made as much noise as poss. But all ok, ds loves her and dad is as proud as can be. She already has lots of pink clothes. Feeding and sleeping well and enjoyed my night of rest in hospital. Im off to put my feet up.

Joe1! Fantastic news, Im so excited!!!!!!!! If I have a girl we are probably going to call her Alice too so there might be 2 mumsnet Alices in a couple of weeks!

I'll really miss our pregnancy chats but hopefully we can carry on chatting about our new babies very soon.

Lots and lots of love E x

Well done Joe1... I also wanted to call my daughter Alice but we went with something else starting with an A as well.
Hope you recover quickly.... you can now confirm no 2 labours are the same.... and this was quick, wasn't it ????

Enjoy Alice

Love
Pupuce
