Hello all,
I just wanted to let you all know that I
gave birth to a beautiful, bonny, baby boy on the 11th August. Nathan
Michael weighed in at 8lb, 8oz/3860g, HC- 36cm, length- 54cm. My labour was
fast, powerful and so very, very satisfying. It lasted little under 2 hours, I
emerged with a neat 2nd degree tear and easily birthed the placenta
with no man-made help!! My milk has come in and I am looking forward to it
settling, but so far this whole experience has made me feel so powerful.
I wanted to thank all of you for being so
supportive after my experience with the evil hospital consultant, I wish I
could have seen him straight after the birth.. I would have laughed in his face
for being so wrong about my body. I had a beautiful experience, with a
beautiful midwife (Lynne Pyke) to help me. Not that I needed it really J
I am living proof that a woman who
sustains a fourth degree tear can birth another baby (a bigger one by 660g, 2
cm length and 3.5cm HC!!) if she feels she is able to.
Thank you all again for being wonderful
people!
Cheers- Isis
