I am to become a grandmother for the first time

Congratulations to all of you! Please tell us more. How far on is she? How did they tell you? Thanks for sharing the happiness - it seems to be in short supply at the mo

Just found out my son and his soon to be wife are expecting a baby boy, so very excited! First grandchild for us, never thought we would see the day!!

Fabulous news jeannie and Sue. I hope everything goes well for them

This was me a year ago!!!

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS

And let me tell you a secret that no-one told me: you are literally going to fall in love again, and at first sight ...... there is no feeling in the world like looking at that precious face for the first time!

I wish you so much joy in the coming months..... I spent a small fortune

inthefields yes, the euphoria cushions that blow to the bank account!

I had that news in March 2012 when DD rang. We chatted for a bit and then she said "Well what I really rang to tell you was that I am 8 weeks pregnant". I replied "Oh thats wonderful" and promptly burst into tears.

Its a wonderful moment! Even better when you see and hold the end result for the first time. I hope all goes well. Enjoy.

jeanie congratulations

As everyone else has said, it's brilliant! I've had the pleasure of my two youngest (oh, and their mother!) here this morning. They are aged 16 months and 2 months and it was wonderful, especially now I've put the house back together again

DD3, their mum, had 3 miscarriages prior to successfully carrying her first to full term and it was a very traumatic pregnancy. I was slightly [shocked] when she announced that she was pregnant again so soon but all went well and she now has a boy and a girl. I suspect that won't be the end of it either.

You'll love it

jeanie, you have years of fun ahead of you! Congratulations to you and your family.

Of course that should say 'I was slightly '

Kittylester Re getting pregnant soon after a miscarriage; I had heard that this can, for some unknown reason, be more successful than waiting.
Here's a link

This seem to prove the case against what was conventional wisdom.

jeanie and SueL - you have so much to look forward to. Congratulations to all concerned.

Congrats to you too Sue!

jeannie and Sue wonderful news for you both. I hope all goes well and that you will keep us all informed. Congrats all round

Wonderful news Jeannie and Sue, hope all goes swimmingly.

Thanks Nellie DD3 has a friend who is a community midwife who suggested they go for it after each miscarriage and also quickly after Bettie was born. It seems to work!!!

Congratulations both

jeanie congratulations to you, your daughter and her partner. Enjoy the happy experience. You must be so proud. Nothing like a baby gandchild to keep you young at heart.

Congratulationsjeanie99 and SueL123 I've had the pleasure of nursing my 2 day old grandchild it is a wonderful feeling

Sook

Persie smiled at me for ages this morning. Isn't it fabulous?

You are all so lucky! Congrats especially to the new gran to be.

Fourteen years ago, my daughter lived 200 miles away from us, and had been married for 12 years. She went into hospital to have an operation on a varicose vein.Unable to visit, I sent flowers through Interflora. Later that evening, she rang to say that the hospital had sent her home.as they couldn't perform the operation.Immediately, I worriedly exclaimed; "Why not?"She then told me "Because I,me pregnant, mum."Then we both burst into tears of joy! My first grandchild was born 9 months later, on Mothers Day.Wonderful!

Congratulations, Sook! And good wishes to the grans-to-be. You are about to embark upon the most wonderful adventure - enjoy every moment!

Welcome to the best club in the world!! Prepare to worry like you have never worried before, to love the little chap/ess so much you would lie down in front of a bus for him/her and to feel that despite raising your own children pretty damn well, you know absolutely NOTHING about babycare in the 21st century

....isn't that just the truth! Nothing is the same!!
Makes one wonder how ours survived.
