Hello all,

Claire had contractions on and off for a few days. Her due date came and went. At 2 in the morning Claire had contractions that kept going. We were in the hospital by about 5am. Things were going well until the contractions started to fade. We walked up and down the flights of stairs over and over, however it was not until her waters broke that things progressed much further.  Claire used gas and air for the duration of the labour and went into 2nd stage labour at about 11:45am. Ruth was born on 03-Nov-2008 in Basingstoke hospital at 12:40.

Our midwife was fantastic and Claire was brilliant.

We had a bit of chill out tie before Grandma Jessica and Joseph arrived.
Claire was then moved to a ward with 4 other ladies who also had given birth to girls. Claire and Ruth slept well that night.
