Hi all,

I am pleased to announce that our baby girl arrived by induced labour at 37 + 4 on 17th Jan. I was in labour for 2 days but she eventually came out at 2.56pm.

She was 4Ib 14oz at birth and came to meet us assisted by only gas and air.

She is totally perfect :)

Thank you so much for all of your support during my pregnancy xx i appreciate all of the great advice so much!

Hi,

I was induced as baby was small for dates right from 25 weeks.They made the decision to bring her on early to avoid any possible complications :)

She has struggled with feeding due to her size which has resulted in a few days in the hospital but we have now found a bottle that she has really taken to and she is thriving! Still keep trying to breastfeed but until she is bigger it will be difficult so i am expressing and bottling at the moment just to keep things flowing for future breastfeeding opportunities.

I am so proud of her for being such strong girl :)

Xx
