All about my daughter/s

Hello Friends and fellow Ciaoers, I thought I'd grace you with a review, being as I am awake, and my baby girl is asleep. I am sure I should be sleeping, but I hardly find the time to Ciao any more, so I thought, What better time than now !! Here is the story of the Pregnancy and Birth of my baby girl, Georgia Grace Margaret Wheatley. Well, where to start..... Oh yes, the beginning.... A very good place to start by all accounts. (Oh God, I felt a Sound of Music moment coming on then, must be the lack of sleep) I must explain to you this important fact. I caught pregnant on "The Pill". I had ... more

------------------------- Before the birth ------------------------- On the 21st January 2005 I found out I was pregnant - I did three pregnancy tests just to make sure! I had my first midwife appointment on the 16th February at 1.45pm, my nana came with me and we heard the heartbeat - it was fantastic, this was when I really let myself believe I was having a baby. I had my second midwife appointment on the 16th March then my first scan on the 4th April. My nana and grandad were going to take me to buy the pram but before we set off I said we had better wait until I had had a scan just in case ... more

I thought considering my little girl is turning 1 this week, on the 9th May, that this would be a nice piece to write. I know it's only been a short little existence so far and you wouldn't think there would be that much to say but any doting mum will know how easy it is to talk about their children. My husband and I had already produced a son and when we discussed trying for a 2nd child I was secretly desperate for a little girl, don't get me wrong I adore my little boy but I think all women want a little girl of their own, I wanted to bake, play dolls, do her hair etc etc things that my ... more

It was the 26th October 1996 it was cold and wet outside yet i was in a maternity ward in devon the pain was unbearable and i'd been in labour for 31 and a half hours but at exactly 9:05 i gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl we named her nikita. Nikita weighed in at 6lb 13oz a nice healthy weight for a baby that was 2 weeks overdue. Not long after she was born we noticed something a bit extraordinary about our perfect little girl she was born with an extra thumb, it was not formed properly and it was only attached by a very small piece of skin yet it had it's very own nail so this ... more

"Congratulations you have had a girl" the midwife said to me on 14th July 2003 at 2:30am as she laid her on my chest. I couldn't believe I had managed to give birth and it was not as bad as I thought. I didn't know what I was having so luckily I already thought of a girl's and boy's name, so there my little girl, Hayley at 7lbs and 13ounces, with ginger/blonde hair with big blue eyes. My pregnancy had been pretty easy compared to my friends and families pregnancy. I had no weight gain, no bad skin, no morning sickness and only a few tiny stretch marks which you could only see when you got up ... more
