๐ 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

Thank you! He's got some nasty swelling and bruising from forceps delivery, it's quite a deep cut there near to his eye so they're a little concerned but it's looking like he'll be ok, once the swelling calms down ๐๐ผ

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.
Reply (1)Report
Kitcat12 โข in reply toHidden 4 years ago 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
