We went to the hospital by ambulance afterwards and as far as I knew everything was signed off. We went home 3 hours later and were visited by midwives for 3 days. We lodged the birth certificate about a week or so after Lucinda was born. I have no idea why there is a problem to be honest.

ETA - Considering I also went through the ante natal clinic at the hospital right up until 2 weeks before she was born, surely they can also verify that I was indeed pregnant. Meh. I won't assume anything until I get the stat dec stuff and see what I can do.

Thanks so much everyone for your help.
