    Robin Patrick arrived in a great rush Sunday 10th January 2010. Exactly 7 pounds (3180g)


    Still in shock over labour....quick summary.....Vaginal delivery after 20 mins pushing....I was in the hospital having contractions for about 5 hours beforehand but have no idea how long I was in labour for because according to the official guidelines of dilation etc I never reached 'established labour'. So officially it was a 0 minute labour LOL! (wasn't laughing though when the midwife kept on telling me my 4 in ten minute, over a minute long, strong contractions were not proper labour yet and therefore she wouldn't let me have gas and air or get into the birthing pool yet) So I did it all on two paracetamol!!!

    More details later as I am off to sleep while DH cuddles bubs. Cannot believe he is here at last. I am loving cuddles and his little face!!!

    Oh my goodness - congratulations! That's wonderful news although I'm very confused about how you managed that with no official labour!!! Well done you! Post some pics up soon once you are recovered x

    ps did the army have to come and get you or did you get to the hospital ok??

    Congratulations Poppyfairy on the safe and fast arrival of Robin. What a gorgeous name. I hope you enjoy your babymoon all 3 of you & look forward to photos.

    Greenslw cheering you on as it seems you may be next!

    Londonmiss, enjoy your mini break and GL with that nighty Kangaroo Is is supposed to be beautiful, lucky you. Any chance you can loose DH's phone while on holiday???

    BOC happy 28 weeks and nesting sounds fun. Also welcome to 3rd trimester!

    Wantbaby2 so glad you are enjoying your growing bump.

    Saph that is a big bub you have there. If it helps you my sister's SIL delivered a 10lber & a 12lber in her 40s all au natural.

    Hello everyone else I have missed

    AFU we have our 12 week NT scan tomorrow and I can't wait to see Phoenix again . A question did anyone NOT have a scan between 12 & 20 weeks and still cope ok? Something that I am considering but its more likely I will decrease scans from 20weeks on if I decide on going through the birth centre rather than OB.
