congratulations!!!!   and i love the name ava - you dont hear it very often  xxxx

well id say call her mia only becasue i called my daughter mia daisy lol she's nearly 5 weeks old now and its gone WOOOOSH!!!

Thankyou everyone!! She is still baby no name and one week old today - poor thing! Have narrowed down the list to grace, ava or mia, and rose will be her middle name which is my surname and she will have by boyfriends surname!! We just can't decide what to choose and we both prefer different names so hopefully she wont have to wait too much longer

I can't believe she is a week old already!! She is really good so far and feeding well and i feel so lucky to have her!! xx

Congratulations on your princess, what are you calling her??

GIRL!!! Born 7th Oct at 00.32, 8lb 14oz, 14 days overdue.

I was induced on Sunday the 5th at 7pm and had 2 prostin tablets. They didn't appear to do much and i didn't get any pains until lunchtime on Monday. They became more painful and i was examined at 6pm and found to be 1cm so i went to the delivery suite to have my waters broken at 7.45pm and still 1cm. By 11pm i was 5cm and fully dilated just before midnight. A beautiful baby girl arrived at 00.32 after 4.5 hours of established labour. I loved the pethidine and gas and air and didnt want to give it back!! I also didn't tear so i am really happy that it went so well as i was thinking it would take ages being 1st time round. Mum and baby are doing well!! Can't believe she finally arrived!!

Thanks to everyone for keeping me going when i was so overdue and for all the support over the last few months. It has been great reading the threads and I have learned lots from everyone here. For those who have their babies already - enjoy them and good luck for all those still waiting!! Won't be long now...
