Thank you gorgeous women!! I thought of you when I posted the weight Marcellus... I said "I cracked 10 pounds!" to my MW too

I have a second degree tear on my perineum again and decided against stitching so I have to spend 2 weeks lying in bed. It's hard to type lying down so I can't post much. Up feeding Felix now so sneaking in some one-handed typing! Labour was fairly quick... 4 hours of pre & early labour then 3hours 20mins of established labour. 2nd stage was 1hour 40mins so 1/2 the labour was pushing him out! Thank god for water immersion!!! Birthing in the pool was much better. 3rd stage was 30mins with quite painful contractions- was very happy once the placenta was out Big brother had an up & down first 24 hours but is already smiling at, and kissing his baby brother
