    I've said it before and I'll say it again YOU ARE A SUPER BIRTHER!

    Congrats Lauren and Beau! You both did amazingly well.

    I feel honoured to have been a part of it. Beau's commentary was awesome! I can't believe he had time to update us AND be with you at the same time.

    ...and Lauren, yeah I think you were in labour

    What an incredible and thrilling tale! Such a thrill for all those involved including your family and your BB family!

    No wonder DP was chatting online, he was avoiding dodging flying missiles!

    OMG that is such an amazing story! And so fast! I have never heard of a baby being delivered with the sac still intact, it sounds so strange!

    Congartulations, you sound like such a superstar! And you totally have to keep the name 'concord' it suits so well plus just sounds cool!

    PS i just googled Elliot being born in the sac and it is called being born in the 'caul' or being a 'caulbearer'. It apparantly happens in 1 in 1000 births!!!!

    What a story you have to tell!

    Jellymaker its interesting i have scottish background and we have many babies born in the caul it is considered lucky and that they are destined to become something very special. They bring luck and cast off evil in medieval times.

    WOW What an awesome birth story

    Was that your Dad's first Home Birth?
    I absolutely love how you were able to educate him with the delayed cord clamping as well, just brilliant

    Have a lovely babymoon and an amazing story to share with your little man as he grows up
