    PHEW!!!!


    Jo, you had us worried there girl! Congratulations!!!!

    I'm so pleased that your birth went well and that you have laid your demons to rest. I hope that you feel empowered by the fact that you made all your own decisions right up to the point that you held your baby in your arms.

    Just run, run and keep on running!

    excellent - and being flexible enough to go for what was best for baby shows what a great woman and caring mum you are. Now all send me early labour vibes please :)

    Excellent news Jo - well done, and I am glad that you had a proactive midwife. Think that you did the right thing though re: induction (a cervix that is softening and 1cm is really just what we call a 'multip's os' - the cervix of anyone who has had a baby before). Be proud of yourself for sticking to your guns!

    Enjoy!!

    That's fab, Jo. I'm so pleased for you. Oh, and it's supposed to hurt isn't it? Nothing to be ashamed of there ;)

    I've got 3 months to go and already feel enormous (hence being up at 5am typing this as unable to sleep).

    You've been a great role model. I too would love a home birth in an ideal world and am determined not to be part of a production line just to please the medical profession - and in the end, baby's health is all that matters, so if I have to go in to hospital, so be it.

    Well done again :T :T :T :T :T

    Oh what good news. Congratulations.

    Hopefully my own little bean won't be as stubborn as yours (although looking at myself and its Dad I'm not holding out much hope)
