Mabel was born yesterday September 4th 2015 at 05.20. No entry for that day as we were obviously detained.

And here she is……

after two lots of inductive pessaries and very painful attempts to break the water, of which there was very little, and mothers heartbeat getting irregular a rather grumpy doctor obviously decided enough was enough and ceasarian was the only way forward. So after 43 hours of variations on inducements it was all over in 1/2hr once the decision was made. She came out perfectly formed…though a little small at 5lb 10oz.

Ready for the op…I’m looking a bit nervous as I haven’t done this before (though I do have copy of Caesarians for Idiots so that will help)
