Thanks everyone - man it's hard to believe he is actually here!
Here's a wee update copied from the Jan thread... Just got back from Birthcare this morning - wow what an adventure! It's so exciting having our wee man with us. The labour went really well, it progressed quickly and the accupressure was fantastic. Will post full birth story later, but pretty much spent a couple of hours labouring at home then went into Birthcare. 7cm dialated on arrival at 5.20, fully dilated at 6.30am, Harry born at 8.14. It was sore but actually not as painful as I thought it would be! He came out with his hand on his face, which contributed to the big tear (as well as his giganta head). Transferred to hospital by ambulance to be stitched up in surgery (spinal block), lost heaps of blood so was a bit scary for DH but I wasn't really too aware of it all. Stayed in recovery at hospital on Tues night, then back to Birthcare on Weds. Harrison is a champ! We are so smitten. I'll post some photos in the photo section soon. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

Yeah it was funny cos Harry had his head by his face in heaps of the scans too! I was in the water for a bit during transition, but stood up for contractions - and things progressed so quickly, so was probably only in there for about an hour. The tearage was also worse cos he had a swollen head  But it is all SO worth it!
Anyway finally just put some photos of our wee man in the Photo Forum ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">
