This all sounds very positive! Good for you for going for a midwife :-)

Thank you! I know you recommended birth centers before but when I searched for them, for some reason they call came up as being 40 or more miles away... and similar results came up when searching for midwives. I thought there weren't any around here.

Glad I found this one!

Hope you and Bethan are feeling better. Poor little thing... and perhaps look into a helmet with googly eyes so she doesn't shatter her little noggin'! (or put a big dent in her forehead like I did when I was little.)

It's more bashing her face than her head she's good at! I think babies are meant to fall over like that, but it still upsets her, bless her. Still, she'll learn to put her hands out - she's already realised her hands can stop her from falling to the side so she's getting there! I do try and catch her if I see her falling but usually there's never enough time. She only does it about once every few days, and it's less and less frequent as she gets older!

She's feeling fine and I'm mostly better! It's just the husband who is still faulty now ;-)

Hmmm... faulty husbands can be a problem. Mine is the King Incubator of Germs. Though, he's been pretty good for a while, thank Pete.

I do figure babies have all the bumper, baby fat cushioning for a good reason, but the idea of baby falling down and actually hurting itself is still sort of freaky. Especially when marks are left. I suppose I would be afraid of being labeled a child beater or bad mum on top of the actual harm and discomfort of baby.
