Our son, Cameron Alistair, was born on the 7th February 2012 He was due on the 3rd so kept us waiting for an extra four days, but then arrived in a hurry! We arrived at the hospital at 8am and he was here by 9.30am, after only 18 minutes of pushing. A very quick birth! We were shocked to find I was already 9cm dilated when I arrived at hospital - I think the midwife was shocked too, haha. He's our first baby. No epidural needed, only gas. Unfortunately I sustained 3rd degree tears though and had to go to theatre after the birth to be repaired... so much for the drug free birth, when I had to have them afterwards! Oh well. I'm recovering very well and not in pain, it just feels uncomfortable. We came home after two nights in hospital and are all adjusting and settling in well.

We are both over the moon with our special little guy!
