Such a beautiful birth story TK. I too have tears, I am just so happy for you and DP, and your precious Caitlin. Your story will be an inspiration to many women, and for that you should be proud.

Congrats again!!!

I'm so proud of you T, beautiful birth story and welcome to the world Caitlin my 1st neice/nephew from our side of the family.

Good on you for speaking up about your decisions ie: no bottles and not wanting any drugs.

I had a few tears welling up in my eyes reading this.

Just wanted to add OMG @ PIL's just turning up, so many things they do annoy me.

Congratulations TK1999 - I haven't been on here for quite some time and was very happy to see your story. Sounds like things didn't go exactly according to plan but you did great! All the best to you and your new little family.

Aussie.

Thankyou for sharing your story TK, it is scary when the little one's either chose or need to come early!!

You did an amazing job and I love how your grandfather was your source of empowerment, just a beautiful gesture to the close relationship you still share.

I can't believe the PIL arrived!

Well done to you TK on birthing your beautiful baby girl!!!

I have less than complementary comments on your ILs, but I'll keep them to myself.
