It has been many a month since I have last posted any news about my existance, so apologies for those who think i popped out of life =)
So what's new? well I had my baby on March 22nd (mothers day) for a start. The pain of labour is something out of this world I must admit. It is a dreadful, horrible kind of pain, but the reward you get at the end of it eclipses everything. The feeling of having your newborn baby in your arms is immense, its mindblowing.
My labour was a fairly good one. I had a natural birth. When I got to the hospital I was already 4cms dilated and it was llucky because when i called and told them my waters hadnt broken (and wouldn't either, they had to be broken artificially) they were going to tell me it was only early labour and not going to happen! When i eventually got there I had a nice warm bath ran for me, where i stayed until the pushing really started. The bath was a lifesaver, and the perfect pain relief. To anyone having a baby I would recommend a warm bath, it's so soothing!
By the time I got to the pushing it was too late for drugs so I went completely drug-free. The whole definition of a natural birth right there! And it wasnt too bad. It lasted a grand total of 39minutes (at 10:39am), but if i hadnt have been completely knackered (i was awake two straight days before hand too much in pain to sleep) I am 100% sure it would have been even quicker. Then came the good bit - spending time with my daughter who i'd carried round for the last 41 weeks!
My parents were the first to come and visit us, about an hour later. My mum's phone had been on silent and my husband had sent her multiple messages throughout the early hours to keep them informed so they got them quite late but got there eventually =)
A steady influx of ppl came throughout the day but by the end i was already too exhausted for visitors!!
Well, that was 2 months ago now - my daughter has grown and shes healthy and happy and full of life and love! and i love her to pieces - me and my husband both do. shes a real blessing.
Man Utd won the league today. Chelsea can still nab second if they win their matches and livepool lose their's so heres hoping!!
Well, i'll be off now and i will stop and talk later on.
