After 37.5 hours of Labour we had our little bundle of joy!! I had always hoped for a natural birth but reality brought with it pethadine, gas, an epidural, oxytocin to speed up the contractions, having my waters broken by the nurse, forceps and an episiotomy - all in all probably every form of intervention you can have without having a caesarian!
Many people braved the wait in the hospital and in the end Nana and Grandpa Jones, Grandma Hansen, Uncle Dan, my Auntie Lynda and Great Grandma Jones were all there to meet Jackson after a highly anticipated wait. Nothing can describe the feelings you have during and after the birth but I cant imagine there being anything more fantastic or mind-blowing.
