There we stood in a world where we did not have a clue what was going on. It was 3 weeks in and we were still in the neonatal unit living out of hospital, asking permission to touch our daughter and to change her nappy, scared we would do something wrong under the watchful eyes. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be, this wasn’t what we dreamed of, our expectations were completely smashed. Our normal was going to be a new normal and we were completely petrified of what was ahead.

Becoming a Mummy
Ruby Powell, born Sunday 11th of November 2012 at 1:50am weighting a big 8lb 12oz. She was full term 40+3
I went to hospital a naive first time mummy in the throws of labour, no clue what to expect or what was ahead of us.
I laboured and was considered a “low risk” pregnancy, everything seemed to be going ok with no concerns raised. I was labouring for a while so a doctor was called. Ruby was delivered by vacuum delivery, and there seemed to be no reason for concern, from what we knew, everything seemed to be going to plan.
