The headlines in Makower baby world are as follows…
· It's a boy!
· He's called Thomas
· He was born at 1.23 a.m. this very morning (Tuesday 17th October 2006)
· He weighed in at 8 pounds and 5 ounces
· Mum and baby are still recovering from the whole ordeal but doing okay!
· They should both be able to come home this afternoon, once they've been in 12 hours to rule out infection (the waters broke at 6 a.m. Monday morning, quite a long time before he made his appearance, hence the risk of infection)
· Without going into gory details, the early phase of labour seemed to last a lifetime (!), but the most intensive ‘pushing’ phase started whilst Ema was having a bath.
· The midwives and staff just about managed to get her out of the bath and get the baby delivered on the bathroom floor. This phase was excruciating and horrible to have to watch her endure, so heaven (and all the mothers out there!) only knows what it was like to be Ema at this point?!
