Her name is Phoebe Ann, She was going to be Phoebe Rose but I had a really lovley midwife who was called Ann so we thought that would be good to use as her middle name.
Birth story On wednesday night I was very very dizzy, feeling faint and started to be sick so I called the labour suite and they told me to come in for a check. When we got there my waters broke then stoped 4 different doctors checked me and couldn't decide weather there was enough water around the baby to leave me to labour naturally in the end they decided that it was safer to induce me, they kept monitering me and testing for infections before finally getting round to in on saturday night. I had a hormone tablet inserted which got me to 2cm by 9am sunday morning when they broke the rest of the waters, they let me have a little walk around and some lunch then put me on a drip to bring on more contractions. They didn't get really strong untill about 2pm when I started having gas and air at about 3.45pm they were really really strong and when the midwife checked she said I was only 5CM!! I thought I would have another hour or so but baby Phoebe arrived 10 mins later at 3.55pm she weighed 8lb 2oz and is perfect she looks identical to Justin when he was born. I had to go on a drip afterward because I was bleeding quite a bit but I was fine in the morning and went straight home with her. I had no tearing and no stiches!
I will add some pictures later on tonight and post when I have.
