William Heywood Evans and Emily Ann have arrived!!! Basically 12.30 yesterday night (11th Aug) woke up went to loo with pains . 1.00am waters broke. Contractions went direct to 2 minutes apart. Called hospital said come straight in. Parked. Managed to get to room immediately on all fours vomiting. Examined at 2 ish had birthed a foot so emergency csection cat 1. Contractions with no gaps and babies whipped out about 3.15. They were in special unit on air with teeny bit of oxygen but that is no longer needed and they have started to regulate their own temperature so hot cots have been turned down. had lovely cuddles yesterday and going down there is a bit. Emily came out first weighing 4lb 12oz 2 mins later William 5lb 1oz xxxx Thank you for the part you played on our journey...we are eternally grateful to every Angel that has show such care and support to us xxx
All just was so so fast. Zero to top speed immediately. Feeling teary with a strange sense of joy relief and a steadfast promise to give my world over to loving our little son and daughter. Just those words make my heart ache in a way I cannot explain. They are here.. they are mine and I can not believe I did it. My dreams have come true xxxx
This is Lauralie Christine. She was born 4.33am on the 23rd weighed 7lbs14oz! I need to say I would not of been able to do it myself or had such a positive birth regardless of the obstacles we had if it wasn't for the amazing daisy anchors and relaxation and understanding I learned thank you so much Joanne Fellowes!! Beause I had planned a water birth in a midwife led unit however I ended up with being moved to a hospital room with monitoring strapped to my tummy to monitor her heart due to there being concerns she was going to be smaller than expected down to my tummy measurements.. So when she did arrive at her weight a surprise to everyone after a long labour and over two hours of pushing!! I did it with the amazing support of my mum my auntie my partner and the most amazing midwife who help us all to hold the space and belived in me being able to do it! and she held off the interferance of doctors who were getting twitchy with the amount of time it was taking. I was able to stay strong focused possitive and belive in myself and achieve my possitive birth and I simply just needed to allow my body all the extra time to open soften and relax in order to birth my beautiful big girl for my dainty frame x
Would like to say a amazing thank u to Jo for teaching all the basic info and the key things I needed for the birth of my daughter Tillie Rae Haines , Tillie was born 3.35 am on 17/6/16 weighing 6lbs 3oz, I used all the breathing techniques I was taught through classes, even though I ended up having to have an epidural which was not planned, I still felt that thanks to daisy classes I stayed in control and positive throughout my daughters birth xxxx
Morning hun. Eleanor Jane Tricker was born at 1.33am Sunday morning weighing 9lbs. She is just beautiful not the planned labour as went on for 3 days! Ended up in forceps delivery with epidural however daisy techniques got me throughout the pain of an intense latent labour and all the early phases. In total 13 hour labour epidural needed for 9 of them. With pre labour 61 hours xx
Hi Jo, c section in the end, Tuesday morning as booked. She just too happy in there. Cried so much coming out, but she breast feeds really well, and I'm getting to grips with re learning a new baby, I totally forgot about burping! And the poo! But really she is amazing, totally in love. I saw her coming out, so thanks for the last message re the c section website. That was wonderful wonderful!
Finally our time for a birth announcement! This is Ralph and he was born on the 21st of May at 23:44. He weighed 7lb 15oz. He was born in the pool an hour after getting to the hospital. I used my daisy centred breath all the way to the hospital which kept me calm. My husband counted for me so I didn't rush each breath. It was all a bit quick once we arrived but I had an amazing birthing room at St Michael's & had my daisy birthing music on which really helped me to stay focused and although Jo will confirm I wasn't that keen on the "out" breath it was the one that I found the most valuable. We were home within 6 hours & my little girl woke up to having a new brother.
