I was due on 10th June and my gorgeous little Grace finally arrived on 20th. I was due to be induced on 21st but a sweep on the 18th finally got things started. Contractions started at 9.15pm on the wednesday, really irregular right from the start and Grace was delivered by Cesarean Section at 9.17am on Friday 20th. After 36hours I was still only 8-9cm dilated and completely exhausted (a feeling I've come to accept as normal!). Isn't it strange the things we share when it comes to pregnancy and birth!
Grace is our first baby and we're starting to get to grips with everything. She's such a little character and can have a right tantrum when she's hungry or tired - just like Dad!
It's good to talk to other people at the same stage and it really helps to talk to people who have recently gone through this stage. I've got a friend who's daughter is 11 weeks older than Grace so she can share her wisdom if I ask!
