My Beautiful boy!

[Mattys Girl]

Hi,

i earlier posted a thread called practise run because i couldn't decide that i was actually in labour or it was(as the midwives told me ) a practise run. As it turned out i was in fact in true labour and already 6cm dilated by the time i reached the hospital at 6.30pm, this was friday the 2nd of march 2007. From then on in i was in full blown labour and 9 hours later after some very painful contractions and a brilliant midwife named Karen, My son, Patrick, was born at 3.15am weighing 6 pounds 3 ounces. i am proud to annouce that i did it with NO pain relief and NOstiches.

i'm so proud of my beautiful baby boy and so happy i had to share it all with you.
