Emila Coco is here!

On Wednesday 20th August 2014 at 9.45am, weighing an impressive 10lbs 2oz, Emila Coco made her dramatic entrance into the world via emergency c-section.



So far, all seems healthy and her admission to the neonatal unit at birth only lasted 48 hours - providing an incredible BM profile as well as no deformities currently being present... Which is all I could of ever hoped for!


The labour was not the 'natural with no pain relief' birth that I wanted. I turned down induction twice and I lasted 14 hours with no pain relief or intervention, birthing myself to 5cm dilated at home,  even with little to no breaks between contractions. I'm pretty impressed I got through it, I got to 9.5cm dilated and the 0.05cm was just not happening due to over medical reasons so it ended in a ECS.




Emila @ 12.5weeks
Emila's nearly 13 weeks now, I can't believe how quick time has gone... it's as if she's always been here.
