Hi all!

My precious bub is here! A beautiful boy! A glorious waterbirth at home. Labour was just under 3 hours; born at 2.07am. No tearing. He is a big bub for me- 4.26kg. All is well. My DD was at the birth, and she cut the cord. She also took some beautiful birth photos. My sons slept through the birth.
Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to have a waterbirth- it was amazing. I found it easier to relax between contractions. And I was able to stay comfortable and supported in positions that would have tired me on land.
Best Valentine's gift ever!
