26 March 2011 - The birth of our final bub.

Awe Mel - gorgeous! Thanks for sharing and welcome to Sahti Lillian Audrey :heartbeat:

:clap::loveshower:

Congrats! Thanks for sharing your story!

Awwww Melly Moo!!!!!! :) :) :)

I'm bursting with so much pride right now!! You did such an AMAZING job!!

Listen to your DH too! He claims he didn't do much, but you supported her decision to have a natural labour - that in itself makes a huge difference. My insiders knowledge tells me you also did some reading during the pregnancy - take some credit, not all husbands are so understanding and supportive :) Well done :clap:

Sahti is such a sweet, beautiful, strong name - and it fits so well with your other three cherub's names. Flows. Just perfection :)

I can't wait to hear your adventures with 4 children - You're such an incredible mother, and friend :) My world truly is a happier place with you in it.

Yep.. Very proud of you! Well done!

What an awesome birth story! Thanks so much for sharing. Your baby girl is adorable :)

Congratulations on the birth of your little lady! I know that feeling of pushing out a badly positioned baby - Seth's birth was similar. Wishing you all the best as you rest and recover with your family. :hug:

I was waiting for this one! Congratulations Mel and well done! You should be so proud. xx

Congratulations Mel and thank you for sharing your amazing story with us!! I hope you are settling into life with 4 bubs well!

CONGRATULATIONS MEL!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing your birth journey with us! a four poster bed...now that's pretty fancy pants!

Lovely, just lovely!
And what a beautiful name :D

Great birth story mel - like my #4, his head was out, and i was told to wait till next contraction, then push...man...that felt like the longest minute of my life, lying there, half a baby hanging out of me, and all i wanna do is push, but if i did, i was told i would tear. It brought back a lot of memories reading that point. Enjoy her...XX

Congratulations on a beautiful birth. Well done! And welcome to little Sahti :)

Congratulations to you and DH ..... you did an amazing job hun xoxox what a beautiful birth

Wow, what an amazing story Mel! Thank you so much for sharing it, and giving future vbac mummas hope.

Congrats again on the arrival of your precious lil one, Princess Sahti. I hope she brings you and your family much love and laughter xo

What a great story! Felt like I was right there :lol:

You did an amazing job!

Thanks everyone :)
So far she is pretty much perfect! Breastfeeding is actually working out for us and she seems to be pretty chilled out :)

Great work :clap: thanks for sharing an awesome birth story, with duck sounds and all :)

Well done and Congratulations :D

Huge congrats Mel - I can't believe I missed this!!

What a great birth you had, all down to your efforts. You are right to be so proud of yourself. Hopefully I'll be asking for tips soon. ;)

Awesome story :)

Great work Mel. I am so proud of you!!!

Congratulations - I did giggle at the duck bit... I caught DH laughing at me during DS's labour... But I did sound funny!

What a great effort for your gorgeous little girl :)

Awesome birth story Mel. Thanks for sharing, always love reading your posts you have a talent with making me feel like I am there. ; ) xx

Ahhh it's hard to believe it's been a year. A year since this birth healed me from past birth disappointments. A year of breastfeeding - 11 months better than previous efforts.

Happy birthday my sunshine baby - Sahtabulous is one!!

What a great birth story. Happy Birthday to your littlest chicken:)

Happy birthday gorgeous

Happy birthday to your gorgeous chicken, and happy birthing day mum! I remember reading the birth announcement, whilst having mild contractions and feeling so jealous you were already holding your newborn. Little did I know that by midnight I would be holding mine! Ds is one tomorrow (born 12:05am on the 27th).

A year on and I still love reading this :) And CONGRATS on 12 months breastfeeding, that's amazing!
