41 weeks 5days - 24th October. Induction started at quater to 1. Contractions has started an hour later when they told me I was allowed to walk around. By 7pm they were getting closer together, more regular and very intense. I was advised to have a bath which didn't help so I decided to take a walk outside the hospital, which seemed to help move things along quicker. They midwife offered me more painkillers but since the ones they gave me earlier in the day did nothing I refused. By 11pm they were 3-2 mins part, I was taken down to the birth centre at 12am (the hour we waited to go down, seemed to go by very quickly).
The birth centre was very chilled out and relaxed with a lot of room to walk around in, I was pretty much left to do what I wanted, baby's heart rate was checked after each contraction. I did not have any pain relief I never thought of asking for it while in labour either, I had worked my self up for sooooo much pain, as I thought the pain would get worse I was trying to wait until I couldn't bare it any more, I was focused on getting through each contraction with ease and inbetween I wasn't in much pain. I hadn't realised how far the labour had progressed as I was expecting it to be alot more painful, I know I have a high pain freshold, but I am pretty sure I was extermly lucky to be blessed with a easy labour. My water broke at 1:55am before I knew it baby's head was out and at 3:19 am our little girl arrived into this world, she was crying before her body was delivered she couldn't wait to get out haha. I really couldn't wait to hold my little girl, she is totally perfect. Everything about her pregnancy, her labour and herself is perfect. She weighed in at 7lb 5oz. She took to breast feeding really, really well.
A week after her birth she had gone down to 6lb 14oz but four days later she had put all that weight straight back on all but 1oz.

I really cant believe how time flys, Olivia is now 5months old, she has started weaning and the night of her 4month injections she just decided she no longer wanted me to feed her (she has weaned herself of the day feeds already). So she is now formula fed on Aptimal, she has been on SMA gold, but she was being very sick, I decided to change it and it stopped her being so sick. She has Breakfast and Lunch at the moment. I make all her lunch meals my self with fresh veg. she has Creamy Porridge for breakfast and loves it!!!
She is still sleeping brilliant just like she has always, she has stopped waking in the night for her dummy and sleeps right through til half 7, so time she will have a little lie in. She weighed 14lb 11oz on March 9th. She is growing up so fast and I am enjoying being a Mommy so much!!!

Good luck to everyone who is TTC.
Congratulations and good luck to everyone who is expecting!
