1st Baby
I have wonderful news to share with you... Introducing Florrie🌸
Florence Lindsay Haim born at 7.45am this morning weighing 8lbs5oz! 💖 We are so full of love and I totally do feel complete now she is here 🥹
I went to 42 weeks +1! My waters broke that night after your wonderful yoga class🙌🏻 but unfortunately I didn't go into established labour 24hours after so we had to go into hospital last night where I was given the prostin gel to get things started then likely the drip which I really didn't want, but I know at the end of yoga you said you had similar with your daughter and how hypno birthing is even more important during an induction! And thinking of you and all your tips and advice really made my induction labour a positive one! 😍✨️I didn't get the pool birth I hoped for and wasn't allowed in the Cove so we made my room cozy with fairy lights and our super chill place list. The prostin gel hit me hard with crazy contractions straight away but your breathing techniques and affirmations kept me going throughout and only with gas and air! I kept telling myself that I was a strong empowered birthing mama and that I could do anything for just one minute! ✨️
It took me 6 hours to get to 2cm and I thought this isn't going to end well... but then an hour and a half later I experienced my body taking over and telling me to push.. the midwife didn't want to examine again due to the risk of infection and that very unlikely I would have then dilated that quickly. But I just couldn't stop so she had to do the examination... she couldn't believe I was just under 10cm and this bubba was ready to come out! I visualised the caffietere as I pushed right to the bitter end and couldn't quite believe what I had managed 🥹🩷🩷 you helped me so much during my pregnancy and birthing journey and I can't thank you enough...🥹✨️🩷 The whole experience was incredible even though I didn't want to be induced, so definitely sharing a positive birth story for those concerned about induction! You are right, we are strong empowered birthing mamas and our bodies are just incredible! ✨️✨️ so in love 🥹 Ali & Florrie xx
