Wow, i'm only just reading this now.

What a dramatic birth story! I was sitting reading this eating a nectarine with juice running down my chin and my eyes out on stalks Dee! FIFTY hours of labour! Then a gigantic boy and ash falling all around as the fires raged....wow.

I soooo felt your pain when you got the VE and was 3cm - though i had a paltry 12 hours of painful ctx before i was examined and found to be only 2cm. I can't believe how long you were in labour and all the crazy crap that got thrown at you. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing birth story, DS will no doubt enjoy being told about his dramatic entrance, a beautiful baby giant born into a firestorm, for years to come.
