My daughter was 8lb 8 and came out with her fist next to her head. I had to be cut twice and had loads of stitches. Worth it though - she's wonderful! :o)))))

My twins were 5lb 12 & 6lb 10. Not bad for someone of 5 foot tall. Loads of stitches though! So I never went back for more!

1st was 5lb 12oz and too lazy to get a move on - he had two goes at it over 48 hours and eventually I gave birth surrounded by student nurses! The second 7lb 3oz and delivered by a male student midwife (his first real birth - don't know who was more nervous!). She was determined to hang herself on the way out - enter one blue baby with blond crew cut! What is it about me that attracts students? - had a student doctor try to do an arterial blood test on me too when I was in for something else - Poor lamb was getting so flustered and my arm was black and blue at his attempts to find an artery until his tutor doctor took over. I must look tolerant....or a fool! lol Magsxx
