Wow, I'm the first to post in here!! We had our little girl, Skye Nicole on Wednesday April 1st at 9.12pm. April fool's baby!! I was due on 11th April. We had a wonderful labour, contractions started at 5pm and we were only in hospital for an hour before she made her appearance. It was a lovely water birth. Compared to my first birth experience, with a posterior baby, who had four hours of pushing, this was a breeze. Four pushes and she was out! Our breast feeding is going well. She's putting on weight!! I feel really good. Our eldest girl (who's only 15 months old) has a cold at the moment so sleep is hard to come by in our household but that's life! Hope to see some more ladies in here soon! x Nik

Hi Nik,
I had my little man, Harrison, on April 2nd via elective C-section at 8:52am.
I look forward to sharing stories and watching our babies grow together

Hi all,

Thought i would join this forum as i have just given birth to my second little girl, Rachel on 13 April 2009. We also have a 20month old, Alannah, so life is very busy at the moment as we all adjust ( the 20 month old has had her world flipped upside down!!!)

Looking forward to sharing our experiences and asking lots of questions of you all.

Brooke
