DD3's waters broke at 1am - she was 8cm when she last rang - so far just doing well on paracetamol. We are sitting by the phone waiting for it to ring!!

We have no mobile reception here - I would have to drive about a mile to text her and thern I might miss a phone call! I just have to be patient.

It's times like these that we all hold our breath waiting to hear all is well, I hope it is soon Mishap. When I had waited all night not being able to sleep when D2 was giving birth, her baby was in the posterior position. I phoned the small country hospital at 4am. They wanted to know if I was psychic as my daughter had just then given birth. I was relieved as it had been a long night waiting to find out if she was okay.

Pant, pant, pant - nearly there!

When I could bear the suspense no longer I rang the hospital and was put through to the delivery suite. They would not tell me anything but told son-out-law I had rung and he called me within 5 minutes with an update. He had been ASLEEP in a chair shock while I had worn a groove in the floor.

Good news! Our new GD Rosie has been born! She weighed in at 7lbs 8oz. My DD got to the second stage on just paracetamol and then when things got a bit stuck she had some gas and air for a ventouse delivery. I am so proud of her.

We will wait (how!?) until tomorrow before going in as she needs as much sleep as she can get tonight.

I have been charging up the cameras!

I'm told she has lots of dark hair and is, of course, very beautiful.

Thank you all for keeping me passably sane today! I too am exhausted!

Hi everyone I am a new member and so far have just been interested in what others have been saying. However felt I had to offer my congratulations on this lovely new grandchild. I remember how frantic I was 3 years ago when my gorgeous twin GD's were born. When I hadn't,t heard anything when I knew she should have had the babies (she was booked in for a caesarean) I could hardly contain myself I nearly wore a hole in the floor! I am so pleased for you Mishap I hope you get as much pleasure from your new addition as I most definitely get from mine.

Learnergran Sat 02-Feb-13 20:10:28

Welcome to GN, TwiceAsNice. Yes, the little ones are wonderful no matter how many there are and how they get here. I have twin DGCs too, so fascinating smilesmile

HildaW Sat 02-Feb-13 20:11:44

Oh Mishap, my thoughts are with you and yours - all good wishes.
