Hello Ladies, :wave:

Well I am finally able to be in here to announce my gorgeous little man.
After an easy (didnt seem like it at the time :lol: ) labour Sebastian was born after just 5 hours and 47 mins.

I went into proper labour at 12:30am Saturday, posted a message on here about feeling wet, stood up and my waters went. Then it was just all so blooy quick. I was getting contractions every 2 mins straight away and with each one came anoher gush of waters (right up untill I had him). I called the midwife unit at 1 oclock and she said to come instraight away. Shouted up to Sleeping beauty ( Alec) and he came racing down the stairs as if he had a rocket up his arse :rotfl: .

I had my water birth and gas and air but nothing could really have prepared me for the pushing part. I know I have Josh but I was drugged up to the eyeballs :shock: and had an epidural so never really felt a thing. I was a wimp lol, I swore, I screamed, and yes I even POO'D :oops: :oops: :oops: , I was going from crying to laughing, shouting for sandwiches and even went loopy at the midwife after I got the mouthpeice in the water and she took it off to change it. I told them to get me to hospital cause I couldnt push him out and that he was stuck :roll: and literally begging in her face. Of course I could I was just being mardy, and he was born at 6:12, weighing 8lb 15oz.

He was a little floppy and purple and with the last contraction he poo'd in me but only a little, every other bit of water before was coming out clear so the werent worried that he had swallowed any. Alec didnt want to cut the cord. I got a quick cuddle before they took him for a bit of oxygen to pink him up a bit. They then Gave him to Alec for a cuddle while I delivered the placenta. That came out pretty quick and all was well.
At 7 Alec went to get Josh from our neighbour he came in looking all sleepy but he was so upset when I left that he made me promise he could come as soon as I had him.

He loves his baby brother and cant stop kissing and touching him, he is one very proud little boy.

They were going to let me go when Alec was leaving to take Josh home but I forgot to pack some clothes so went for a sleep, and left at 1 that afternoon.

So all in all a good experience and yes I would go through it again in a second. BUt now my boobs are so full I have to go wake him to feed lol.

Piccy's very soon
