The Birth - 21/01/06 - posted by Kirsten
Hannah Marie was born on 21st Jan at 20.17. She weighed 61b 12 oz.

The labour went really well and everything happened as planned. We were very lucky. Contractions started at 4.30am on the Saturday and progressed regularly through the day. When they started to take my breath away we slowly made our way to the birth centre at the hospital. They didn't think I was in established labour, but when they did an examination I was already 5cm..hoorah ! This was at 6.15pm and just 2 hours later Hannah was born in the birthing pool. It all happened so fast !

Tony stayed with me and Hannah until about midnight and then we were left all alone. Neither of us got much sleep on our first night. I was still on such a high and Hannah I think was hungry, as my breast feeding technique was not up to scratch!
