Strange how the last post on my blog was such a pitifully long time ago when I found out I was pregnant. My daughter, Eden Alexandra, was born on 20th July 2008. She weighed 8lbs 2oz and her arrival was about as far away from my birth plan as you could imagine.
I was not scared at the thought of giving birth. I imagined me stoically coping with the pain as I relaxed in a warm birthing pool, listening to CDs of carefully selected music. The first problem was that Eden did not want to leave my womb and, at 11 days overdue, I had to be induced.
