Trimestersdoula I won't be joining you over the new forum so please could you cancel my membership there.
Emma Faith arrived this morning at 2.25am, weighing 7'4 and a bit, a beautiful, perfect little girl but not breathing and couldn't be resuscitated. I wasn't sure whether to post this or not but she's my beautiful baby girl and I wanted to announce her anyway.
The last thing I wanted to do was unsettle any mamas waiting ... please know that although we don't know why our angel wasn't meant to be, her birth was long, beautifully peaceful in my birthpool and nearly completely straightforward. She was my vba2c - I birthed her all by myself. She was nearly a hba2c and her heart rate and everything were perfect through intense contractions. Our transfer was a non-emergency one (Emma showed no distress) for a bit of help - but I pushed her out myself without any instrument 20 minutes after arriving at the hospital. I am so proud of me and of Emma and I am COMPLETELY at peace that her birth was not a contributing factor in her not breathing.
I haven't investigated but I will probably post my birth story on the birth loss forum when I get some of the details clear in my head - probably when I talk to my midwives and work out timings.
I've so enjoyed my short time here - you are awesome mamas, your babies are so lucky to have you.
I will check on you all when I feel strong enough. I thought I would want to avoid you all but it does my heart good to see so many hearty healthy little ones coming into the world
