None

No

Waters went and then began contracting, baby girl born a few hours later.

How was your recovery from birth?
Really good, no sutures and all went well.

Do you have any advice or helpful hints or tips that we can share with parents to be?
Take time to rest. Sit on the sofa and enjoy all the cuddles because the newborn bubble is gone in a flash. Prioritise you and the baby. Everything else can wait
