We welcomed our second daughter, Livia Daisy, yesterday. Giving birth looks like bloody hard work and Mrs lauda was a trooper. Hoping to get home today and introduce the new one to her big sister. Exciting times!

Congratulations!

3.5 months to go here. No prep started yet as house is being gutted for renovation work. Trying not to panic.

Haven't updated this in a while however all is well, our baby daughter is due around the 24th of April. We went for a private 4D scan on Tuesday and got some great photos back, it's amazing to see her face so soon.

I'd like to add to this....

Little Harper Juno Clark was born 07/01/2017

Our first and it's all going rather well so far

[Rutter]

Our first popped out this week, born at 33 weeks so a little small at 3lb 14 but seems to be doing well enough.

We are at full term minus 3 days. My wife is in bed today with pain in her back, as the baby seems to be dropping lower and giving her a good going over as it does so. She had an anti natal yesterday which is showing the baby is still right at the top of the growth charts, with predictions of 4.5kg being banded about!!!!! If that's true, she's about to go through the wringer and I'll never be able to touch the sides again

[Jackarmy100]

And.... I'm back!!
Got home from work at 4-35, labour started at 4-45, baby delivered at home in our bathroom by my mother and myself at 5pm!!!!

Both mother and baby doing well! 8lb 5oz in the end!

[Peanut Gallery]

Congrats!

[Jackarmy100]

Cheers!
All at the hospital at the mo, as the rapid birth meant my wife suffered a tear which needed treatment in the hospital.
Baby has been feeding and pooing/peeing like a trooper, so she's obviously related to me!!

Both just really shocked at how fast everything happened yesterday. We had talked about a home birth, but a home birth with just me and my mother to catch the baby wasn't what we had in mind!!!!

Hope everybody in the thread it doing well!!

My little one had her 1st birthday on the 15th

[LouD86]

In tomorrow, elective C-Section. My first, cannot wait!

[MockingJay]

Little one is due on Monday but I've got a feeling she's going to be late. I'm a mix of excited a nervous now.

[akadk]

I hope the joy of having welcomed your new baby to the world has stopped you giving an update, not that your wife is in her 43rd hour of labour!!!

It's been emotional, traumatic, stressful but little Angelo is here.

Giving birth seems way too difficult given we've doing it for over 1,000 years !

Had our first in 2012. #2 and #3 due in March, ish.

Nervous breakdown booked in for early April.

Our twins are about 7 weeks now.

What a ststorm. In more ways than one. I took the bin bag with the last few days of nappies out today and I reckon it was getting on for 10kg. Ridiculous.
