“Hi Janet just wanted to let you know our daughter was born just after midnight yesterday, 5th April, by emergency c-section. It wasn’t what we’d planned or practiced for but it was necessary as my blood pressure was out of control.
My body managed to incubate our little miracle for 8 months but couldn’t take any more and it wasn’t worth risking her or me. “Riverdawn” (Hypnobirthing relaxation music) was playing and Tibi was stroking me as she was delivered.
It was as calm as a major medical intervention could have been and extremely emotional for both of us. Emily is an incredible little girl already. Despite being 4 weeks early she knows what to do on the breast, all her vital signs are good and she is already sizing up what’s what.
We love her so much. Thank you for everything you taught us. I’d love to see you some time and introduce you to our beautiful daughter. Lots of love Sam & Tibi xxx”
