Thanks everyone it is something i know we will definitely never forget and Ava is lucky enough to have her entire birth on CD thanks to 000, they also sent her a gorgeous 000 bear to keep forever which we have named Pauly after the operator.

In reply to ausgirl i have never really had period pain, the odd cramping etc but NOTHING like the onset of child birth, wish i had of i may have been more prepared.

JellyBean the nurses reactions were quite funny, at first one lady said we have written breach on the forms because that is what you have told us, i doubt i will EVER forgot those blue feet, i also had nurses popping in saying OMG your that one and the next day the reception lady on teh ward told me i had caused quite a stir, even she knew the story oh and the hosp told me no choice i would have had to have had a c/s had they know she was breach so she saved me a lot of recovery time.

BG - i bet you thought your mum was exaggerating... hehehe but nope not for lil miss Ava... hehe

Thanks again everyone, i just hope people find some comfort in knowing that despite all the odds things can go right for you, even when you least expect it.
