Hi girls,

I have just pulled myself out of bed and thought i better let you all know how it went.

Ok so the night started with a Birth Buddies "late" Christmas party. The Client, who i will refer to as A, had gels inserted at around 9.30pm lastnight. Xmas party finised at around 11.30pm with still no word on wether any progress had been made on induction.

Philippa and I aggreed on going home to try and get some rest as we were'nt sure wether labour were to start tonight to tomorrow. So i went home and managed to get in a couple of hours sleep. Woke to the phone at 1.50am. It was time.

A's regular contractions started at 10.30pm and when i arrived there at 2.30am she was well and truely in the midst of transition. I was totally blown away. I guess i did'nt expect to walk in there and be confronted with transition. A was doing wonderfully.

After some very controlled pushing, a beautiful baby boy was born at 3.13am. Placenta was delivered minutes after. After much determined baby crawling, baby latched on, himself, about an hour or so after birth.

All in all, it was the most scariest, beautiful experience i have witnessed. I am truley grateful to A, her DP and ofcourse Philippa for giving me the opportunity to witness life being born.

Now i can't wait for my next one!!!

BBL for personal. My eyes are still hanging out of the my head!
