Hi guys! Haven’t posted on here in a while! Hope you guys are all well!

Just wanted to introduce you lovely people to baby Tommy, born 16/10/19 at 10:25pm by C-Section weighing 8lb 7oz. We got induced a week earlier due to his EDW being 9lb 2oz, 2 weeks before his due date. However, after 3 painful days and not a lot of progression and the worry of complications with his size, I was given a C-Section! So happy with this Altho the recovery is very hard but totally worth it for him getting into the world safer! He had difficulty breathing at first so we didn’t get to see him and he went to special care but came back to us in recovery an hour later, full of life.

My little clomid baby! Worth everything I’ve had to go through to get him! 💙💙

Miracles do happen guys!

Love Emma xxxx

Congratulations! He’s smashing! A C-Section was pretty hardcore, the recovery was tougher than I expected, especially in the first few days so take it real easy! xx

Congrats 💙

We opted for an elective c section for similar reasons + others. Didn’t want to be induced, in labour for days and then with a larger baby, ending up having an unplanned c section.

The recovery is frustrating isn’t it? Mainly for me it’s trying to get out of bed or not being able to pick something up if I drop it on the floor! They are worth it all though 😍

Materialbarbie profile image
Materialbarbie in reply to Hollibob

Thanks lovely and well, I would have had exactly what you had but nobody in my hospital told me my options! Which I’m not happy about, all I wanted was someone to sit and tell me my options and I kept bringing up my anxiety being bad incase something went wrong with him being bigger etc and I just got told ‘okay well we will induce you 6 days early’, for me to end up not progressing in labour and need a section! I’m so glad for you that you were able to have the choice, that’s so fab!!

And omg yes so frustrating! Sometimes I feel okay and then I’ll think I can do anything then it hits me like a ton of bricks! I know not being able to pick things up off the floor is so frustrating! But totally worth it to know the babies are here safe and sound and perfect 💙💙
