13th October - Harry Willem has arrived!

Sorry it's a bit late!!

Harry Willem was born on the 13th October at home into water.

He was 3.8kg, length 54cms and head circ 35cms.

It was a wonderful natural birth and the labour lasted around 4.5 hours.

I had amazing support from my doula, midwife and husband and I am very proud of our achievement after such a medicalised first birthing experience.
