I thought this would be a good place to introduce myself, hope that is alright. I had my baby girl just over 2 weeks ago, on the 17th of March. She was 2 weeks early (EDD 31st March), 2.9kg and 50cm long. Labour was spontaneous and lasted about 12hrs, I decided not to have any drugs and ended up with no tears or need for cuts/stitches which I am pretty proud of. I did have to have my waters broken so it was not a natural birth. She lost 12% of her birth weight in the first few days which was terrifying but is now over 3kg! Breastfeeding was really tricky at first but I think we are getting the hang of it now and they are really happy with her gains. I'm 21 (was 20 when I found out I was pregnant) and living with my partner who is 24 (about to turn 25 this month). I've been lurking around the forums for a couple of weeks now and really look forward to getting to know you all
