Cara's arrival (vba2c!) 31st May

[Maruschke]

Congrats! I went through Mater Mothers (public) and the middies were great. One of mine was pregnant too!

Well done on getting the birth you wanted!

It's an awesome hospital isn't it? I had great middies too!! (I wonder if the middie you saw was the same one..young 20s girl with blondish hair?).

The middy that delivered Cara; Brenda (in her late 40s/50?)..was just wonderful!! They were supposed to put a canullar in my arm, but it all happened so quickly, they didn't bother hehe

So nice to have a totally midwife run birth. I did not have to see a Dr at any point during my birth or hospital stay. :-D Midwife delivered my son also in 1999 (at Logan), but I needed a dr to insert the drip of syntocin (to start labour up again and as waters had broken), and he also stitched me up as I tore a little with first vbac.

I'm off to get some sleep now. Giving birth in the early hours (1.35am) was first for me. I've had a morning birth (c-section breech baby-Laura 8.54am), afternoon birth (c-section breech baby-Yasmin 3.19pm-got pushed back due to other emergency c-sections that day!), evening birth (my son Ronan vbac 8.01pm).

Yep, she was young, blonde, and this was her second bub. Hooray to all the MMH middies out there!

Rest well Cathy, and congrats again!
