Today I became a mum to another beautiful boy. Here we use our close baby carrier for skin to skin.

I attempted a VBAC but ended after 12 hours of labour and 10cm dilated in another emergency LUSCS. Once again bub's head just pounded the pelvis but never got below spines. When my obstetrician opened me up my previous scar was paper thin and he could see right in, so the decision to cut was a good one. Basically I got a live baby and he got a live mummy - yay, good outcome. Xander seemed to like his new brother, although the real test will be when we bring him home.

Anyway, dizzy with fatigue as has had no sleep overnight.
