00:05I had a beautiful water birth I had music playing it happened a lot quicker than I thought for me
00:12it was a very positive experience I think the most challenging part for me was the breastfeeding
00:19initially so the first three days were really quite tough and quite challenging but I'm so
00:25glad that I persevered with it because of it did definitely get better and now you know she's
00:3010 days old now now I'm like feeding her and I'm getting that like amazing bond yes I've heard
00:36that's very much involved and he's yeah he's around he's been with us every night I'm ready to face
00:42motherhood alone if I needed to be you know that's not the circumstances now and you know we're gonna
00:47like try and make like be a family and you know and that was always my dream that I had
00:53and I had
00:53all these names written down I said I'm just gonna wait until she's born and decide which
00:57one suits her best and Loretta suits her best and also it's got lovely meaning to it so my mum
01:02and
01:03dad's first dance and and their favorite song is at last by Etta James Etta's obviously short for
01:09Loretta and also my grand my grandfather is from a place in Italy called Loretto and I wanted it to
01:17be unusual and then the rose came because my middle name is Rose and my grandmother's middle name is Rose
01:22as
01:22well so it's got a lot of meaning to me and my family it's just the most overwhelming experience
01:29and the most incredible love that you ever have and I think the fact that I know that I've got
01:34her
01:34forever just means that makes it much more special I haven't made any plans yet for mother's day
01:41um but I'm sure we will all do something together me my mum my sisters and little Loretta our newest
01:48edition and my nan as well we all do something together we'll probably just all go out for like a
01:51nice
01:52dinner or like an afternoon tea I hope they get me a present somebody needs to get me a present
01:58from
01:59her really it is my first mother's day I learned the most about myself the things don't always have
02:07to go to plan and you know you you shouldn't feel nervous to realize that life is not always perfect
02:15and sometimes things go wrong and that's okay because that's life
