Ruby Charlotte born 3rd of May

Heidi.jowett • Thu, May 07 • 24 years young pregnant with my first I'm pommie (English) been in Australia 6 years :)

So here is a picture of my beautiful princess born Sunday at 5 24

I was induced after a week in hospital with a kidney infection

Had my waters broken at 8am contractions started from the drip at 8:15

Managed with gas and air until I couldn't take much longer asked for epidural where they said I was 8cm dilated but done it anyway

We got told it would be hours before I'm fully dilated so my partner went to our car to get something but once they done the epidural they saw baby's heart rate dropping so they needed to get her out via vac as they checked and I was fully dilated

So I was panicking thinking my partner wouldn't be there but he turned up just in time and well I didn't feel a thing during birth had to be cut to get her out was a very big cut and many stitches but with 3 pushed and the vac she was born and a healthy 6pound5

( before people ask we had Charlotte picked as a middle name before we even knew the royals would name their baby Charlotte)

Well here is a picture of our princess
