๐Ÿ’™ 2 weeks early and weighing a pretty decent 8lb 6oz baby Llewelyn Elis has arrived and I am just obsessed. It was an extremely traumatic birth for both of us and he has a few complications to overcome going forward but I would do it all again in a heartbeat, he is just stunning!!

A huge thank you to everybody that has supported me throughout my IVF journey and pregnancy, you are all warriors! Never give up the fight, the second they look in to your eyes all of the heartache of treatment is 100% worth it.

Once you feel ready for a bath, Iv heard Badedas bubble bath (green bottle with chestnuts on) is really soothing. Recommend by my sister and friends midwifes x

Beautiful chubby baby. I had a traumatic birth with my son too. It took about 22 hours. He looked like he was in shock when he was born.

Kitcat12 profile image
Kitcat12โ€ข in reply to

I'm sorry, it's awful when your expectation is so different from your reality. We ended up going 50 hours from waters breaking to birth, with painful back contractions every 3 minutes right from the beginning. Then the poor boy got stuck. It was horrific! But I'm so grateful he's here and he's safe x

โ€ข in reply toKitcat12

Oh my gosh 50 hours. Hope you feel better soon after that.
