A stressful time. and a NBD

Congratulations to you and your wife. That must have been a horrible experience for you both, a regular birth is hard enough! Here's hoping for a smoother life for your little one from now on.

Lots of love to you Bro

Congrats. Welcome to the roller-coaster of parenthood.

Glad all are on the mend and yes, thank god we have modern medicine, doctors and nurses that train hard to deal with these things, all over the world.

My wife has a blood disorder and the medication they gave her for child 1 sent her into a fit / seizure. She couldn't hold our daughter for the first night. Was super scary. But what you have gone through sounds far worse.

Phew! Congrats and what a lovely baby.

Crikey, I'd have definitely shat myself many, many times if I had been in the same situation as Thorpy. 

Anyway @ThorpyFX all the best to your Mrs and the baby, hope they recover as quickly as possible and hope you're doing well too my friend.

Wishing you and yours all the best  Thorpy with hopes for a swift recovery. 

Been through a similar situation, of sorts, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

First of all congratulations to you all and I hope you are together at home soon. 

Secondly my experience of the NHS staff mirrors yours. They were first class when my wife gave birth to our second baby in difficult circumstances...apart from the bit were they left me with a baby for 8 hours on my own while they tried to fix the wife!

Congratulations and fantastic that it is now going well.
It's no wonder childbirth was such a killer in the past, and a great tribute to the NHS and modern medical staff that it's pretty much regarded as routine by the public now.

Not just in the past sadly.

Wow.  I'm sorry to hear you've all had such a hard time.    
Best wishes for a speedy homecoming for the little lady!

Thankyou everyone for your kind thoughts, its been a rollercoaster ride for certain. Its not lost on me that there are many people in a much worse situation than my family having seen this in the High Dependancy Unit. I just need to find a way I can give back to those that have supported me in this time.

Ahh congrats to you all...Wow Baptism of fire into Parenthood....I take it you'll have thought of a Military type name for your Daughter.....

Woah, sounds like a terrible thing to have had to go through. Groovy vibes to the Thorpy clan that all is well from here on in. At least until she hits her teens, then all bets are off!

That sounds horrific.

So pleased that things seem to be looking up for you now.

Oof!  Congrats and hope the rest of it goes well for you all.

Best wishes to your whole family.
That is a story to put a lot of the bollocks on here into perspective.
Childbirth is simultaneously the most traumatic and wonderful experience.  She will go from strength to strength now.

What about Lucille?

That is high octane stress, it's stressful enough without complications. Hope you get to enjoy the less scary crazy wonderfulness of it all with her at home soon.
