Well its been a long two days
after 22 hours in labour, 2 different hospitals, 5 different midwives and all the drugs available they finally realised my baby's head was infact its arse, and there was no way it was going to be born naturally
a quick caesarian later and all is good. Baby V is here, mother is recovering well

a little later now and i have been sent home for the evening, currently enjoying a beer - may collapse at any point :)
