The low down on Lucy Rose

Rang The Bulls brother last night to find out how they all were. Baby and Christine were sleeping so Dean filled me in - The Bull didn't want to know and passed the phone over!!
I must say he sounded very grown up.....

Turns out Chrissie was in labour from Thursday evening til Saturday morning when she finally had the C.Section. They had induced her on Thursday and kept adding to the drugs until ultimately they were at maximum dose. Dean said once they decided to do the C. it was straight into theatre. 8 people in attendance, Dean wearing a gown and not much else but at least there was a screen to separate them from the messy business. The text he sent just after the birth said; 'Get him to read up and prepare in case you need an emergency c section. I was a wreck! Not helped by the fact I didn't know what was going on. Chrissie was fine!' Saying that, Dean said on the phone that there was no 'pain', the scar wasn't too bad and they were back home on Tuesday.

One thing he recommended that Chrissie had found helpful during labour was the use of 'visualization' and relaxation tapes.
