    Shock

    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.

    Thanks again everyone, i must say 000 are amazing and i can't thank them enough for helping us out, it wasn't all me... lol well it was but you know what i mean.
    Oh and thanks MUM... lol

    Now because of this WONDERFUL birth #2 is a chance of being induced as they are too scared i will labour TOO QUICKLY... hmm not sure i like that idea but see how we go.

    Thanks again for the kinds comments

    Thanks for posting your experience, this was such an amazing read.. i had lots of happy tears for you and your DD.
    For your next birth you should really remember your own words and trust in your bodys ability to do what it needs to do.. use your instincts and go to the hospital when you are ready.. dont let the OB plan it on his schedule
    oh this is such a wonderful story!! thank you!

    Wow what an amazing story and such a great outcome! You must feel like wonder woman, not only birthing your baby by yourself, but a breach one too. Must have been very scarey! The next birth should be a breeze compared to that!

    bubbleluv and carrie thanks for the kind words.

    Cariie - i keep joking that #2 is going to be a pain in the butt, i think i will make it to hosp and she will get stuck or something.. just to prove a point... hehe as everyone says it will be easy for me... lol
    Shouldn't laugh as i don't want that at all but you know what i mean!

    Thanks, during it all i wasn't really scared... more pre-occupied.. lol i think if i was in hosp with ppl telling me what to do then i would have freaked... hehe am hoping #2 doesn't try and beat her sisters record... lol
