Well isnt labour fun... NOT!!
Who am I kidding??
Once in labour all my grand plans of an "active" labour/birth, with no or very few drugs, went swiftly out the window as I discovered that my pain threshold is VERY VERY low!!
My husband has fun telling people that my BIG S, (for Superwoman), has been swapped for a LITTLE S, (for not so super anymore).
I try and explain to him that trying to squeeze out a watermelon from your "bits" isnt really as easy or pain free as he might think it is and that I'd love to see him try it and see how he feels!
Never the less, after sucking the bejesus out of the gas, I demanded someone give me something stronger... so an injection of pethadine was administered into my right thigh... and so I waited for the pain relief to begin....

NOPE nothing, I'm still feeling the pain!
So, in tears and after about 20 hours of labour I gave in to an epidural .....

After 22 hours of labour at 22.22pm on March 17th, (St Patricks Day), we welcomed into this world a beautiful little girl, Sara Isabella, weighing in at 5lb 13oz!
She is now three months old and I cannot believe how fast time is flying by us, and how fast she is growing and changing in front of our eyes.. Here is my account of life as a new mum!
