Isaac was right on EDD after 25 hours of labour. It was an uncomplicated labour but OMG - I wasn't prepared for the pain. I ended up using gas and had a shot of pethidine. I actually struggled the most with the pushing stage. Hopefully things are a bit "looser" down there and she slides out.

I can look back and laugh when Isaac passed merconium and I gushed greeny/brown goo all over my DH's socks. Needless to say those socks went straight into the bin! He also has a saying about sex after childbirth - it's like waving a flag in the Opera House! Nice...
