Hi Louise,
Just wanted to let you know that baby arrived yesterday at 12:08 in the afternoon weighing 8lb 11oz! I had the home birth I dreamed off using the tens machine and birth pool listening to the MP3’s the whole time – it really helped me remain calm and focused, also no stitches! It was all very quick – waters went at 8am, contractions got to 5 mins apart at 10am, 6cm by 10:45 and arrival at 12:08!
Thanks so much for the guidance and giving me the confidence to have a home birth, so glad you pointed out labour was quite likely to be quick, getting to 6cm took no time at all and not too uncomfortable, didn’t quite believe it!
Thanks again!
L
