Our April 27th baby arrived yesterday (4th May) at 9:51am 7lb 9oz. Most horrendous, and traumatic birth. Did manage to not get them to do an emergency C section though which has saved the last little bit of non trauma I have. However, so glad to be through it with this little darling- finding out she was a girl even...

Bella Primrose Tucker 🩷 Born 4/5/24, 8 days overdue via c section due to 2 failed inductions, and 2 failed attempts at breaking my waters 🫠 Absolute chunk weighing 8lb 13 So in love 🩷

Please share your experiences! They want to get my baby out within the next week or so due to gestational diabetes and increased fluid.
