Hi all,

I live in Wellington, New Zealand - with my partner Damien (of 12 years) and our two gorgeous children. Our daughter Jaedin is 6, and our son Khyen turned 1 in April.

My pregnancy with Jaedin was ok. Very little morning sickness, or it was soon over by 12 weeks. - after 17 hours in labour and 5 Epidural top ups I'd had enough and had no energy left to push. Jaedin was delivered by forceps weighing 6lbs 8oz.

My second pregnancy was a Blighted Ovum and I had a D&C at 10-11 weeks.

My pregnancy with Khyen was somewhat different. I had morning/afternoon/evening sickness right up until 22 weeks.. then it started again from 30 weeks. I had a waterbirth with Khyen (drug free)... and I would absolutely recommend waterbirths. Having your body relaxed by warm water certainly did make my delivery with Khyen a piece of cake. Khyen weighed 6lbs 6oz.

I'm currently pregnant with our 3rd baby (4th pregnancy) - fingers crossed things go well.
