Hi Everyone

My little girl was due on the 2nd April but was a bit early so I've come to join you March mummies. Hope you are all well!

Isla Rose exploded into the world on Sunday 23rd March at 6.35 weighing 6lbs and 3oz. I managed to have a homebirth and she was born in the pool (I had a lot of blood loss though so it was a bit gruesome!) I'm fine apart from pulling out a stitch (got away with 3 internal and 1 external) but we've had to spend the first two days on the children's ward with little Isla as they found a heart arithmia (spelling!) - she's been allowed home now tho an hopefully nothing ongoing to worry about - we just have to keep a close check on her. She's totally wonderful and I can't imagine life before her!!!

Look forward to chatting with you all, Laura & Isla xxx

Congratulations Laura, pleased you are both doing well!!
Welcome to March Mummies!
I've managed to burst all of my external stitches....not sure how many I had, but I looked at my "war wound" in the mirror and frightened the living daylights out of myself the other day!!!!

congrats on your home birth... I have always wondered how gruesome the pool looks after delivery....
I never looked down yonder after stitches but know by the scar that runs almost to my bumhole (for want of a better word) that it must have looked pretty yuck!!!! Now have section scar so all in all look like the walking wounded....
they are still worth it though arent they????
