YAY Beatrix!!! Congratulations on your little girl. Can't wait to hear how her birth went for you at home!! You must be so relieved to have your baby safely in your arms xx

**Cricket** · April 7th, 2013, 11:31 AM

Aaaahhhhh!!! You did it! Congrats Beatrix! Can't wait to hear the whole story.

**Beatrix** · April 7th, 2013, 11:31 AM

Thanks ladies!!!

Over the moon!! Zoe was in a hurry!! 30min labour and caught by her daddy as midwifes didn't make it, they arrived about 10min after she did.

**PumpkinZulu** · April 7th, 2013, 11:57 AM

Awesome stuff hun! You're made to give birth, and I bet DH feels a little bit on top of the world right now hey? Congrats to you all!

**Arimeh** · April 7th, 2013, 12:29 PM

Holy moly!!!!!!! Way to go birthing goddess!

**TeniBear** · April 7th, 2013, 01:26 PM

Woah, you weren't kidding when you said you have fast labours!

Congratulations

**Eenee** · April 7th, 2013, 01:29 PM

Oh wow that's quick! Congratulations!

**Cassius2** · April 7th, 2013, 01:59 PM

Congratulations Beatrix on the (SPEEDY!!) arrival of baby Zoe!!

Hope you are ok after such a whirlwind arrival! and go DH on catching her as she made her way Earthside

(I am guessing you would of had a HB no matter what with that fast labour lol!). Glad that you had your midwives by your side soon after

**Jennifer13** · April 7th, 2013, 02:22 PM

Congrats hun! We all knew you'd be quick but dang that's superb!

Enjoy your babymoon. How did Daddy feel about it all?

**Mum2twoBoys** · April 7th, 2013, 03:35 PM

Congratulations Beatrix, glad to hear zoe made a smooth (albeit quick) arrival into the world and daddys arms. Enjoy your babymoon.

Yep, sounds like that would have been a homebirth no matter what! Much nicer when you're actually planning it.

Was everyone OK with the midwives not arriving on time, or did that cause a bit of stress for you or your DH?
My DH had a dream the other day that this baby would arrive before the midwives too. It wasn't scary to him in the dream, but who knows how you'd feel if it was real life. I'm not too afraid of birthing alone, just of having a PPH, since this is baby #7.
By the way, did anyone see the little video clip that was floating around Pinterest of the lady giving birth in the car on the way to the birthing center? (Who whips out the video camera then?! Her husband was driving, freaking out, and videoing the moment.) Basically she just lowered her pants in the front seat, reached down and picked the baby up from between her legs. He was pretty gooey with vernix, etc., but making noises and in great shape.

Congrats B xx

**Beatrix** · April 8th, 2013, 05:20 AM

Cricket- DH was absolutely amazing!! He wasn't scared (well didn't show it if he was)
Will write up birth story tomorrow on laptop lol shouldn't take long. It will be filled with more emotion then actual birth LOL as it was so fast.
But when I realized they weren't going to make it he was reassuring me as I was slightly freaked out thinking he was going to freak out. Plus our 3 girls were there and there support person hasn't arrived yet either lol

But all worked out well. The older girls were fine and I am thrilled at the bond DH will have with his baby girl being the one who guided her into this world!!!

**loulabelle** · April 8th, 2013, 09:01 AM

Wow that's quick! Sounds exactly like what happened to a friend of mine. You're amazing and so is your dh.

**Cassius2** · April 8th, 2013, 09:15 AM

Oh wow. Bea that just gave me the best goosebumps! awwww, sounds so amazing! and how amazing for your girls to welcome their little baby sister too xx

Cricket: i have seen that one lol! she was sooo calm!
