I imagined myself as a bit of an earth mother and did the whole yoga and practising for a natural birth thing like the true hippy I am, albeit one with a great interest in technology. However, due to complications which were anticipated by the medical teams who were looking after me, I had our baby on Monday 11th February at 1.23pm by emergency caesarian section. I cannot thank them enough. Because of the skill of everyone involved and a great deal of technology, Jasmine survived birth and her first night. She is currently in Great Ormond St Hospital.
