Welcome to the world little Rosie & for your grandma

wonderful news mishap x wishing you all lots of sunny days together x

Hi Twice welcome to GN. Sounds like you have been lurking for while so know what to expect. Lots of support when/if you need it and the occassional bit of misunderstanding.

HI Mishap well done to your DD and you too! I hope you got a good night's sleep. It is lovely to read this when I opened my laptop this morning, good news is always best. You are all going to have a good time with lots of cuddles. I'm sure Rosie will learn to suck properly, too much to expect straight away. So happy for you all.

Look forward to seeing the photos of your double mishap I think when you are in hospital you are just desperate to get home.

I have this vision of all these ladies "of a certain age" around the nation pushing like crazy - it's very bad for your pelvic floors you know!!

Thank you so much for all your wonderful support - I was a wreck yesterday. A friend of mine had a very bad experience at the hospital where my DD is - her GC died through poor care (failure to notice foetal distress, a section done too late and bodged - her DD's bladder was sliced into) and this refused to stop going through my mind, even though I knew it was a very rare event. So....all your good wishes were hugely valued, believe me.

My DD has just phoned. She had the ventouse because the contractions, which had been fine all through first stage, suddenly stopped and baby had to be pulled out - I am so glad she was in the right place for this to happen. She is dying to come home, but the staff are wanting her to stay as baby is not really sucking - poor scrap is probably tired. DD feels that this problem can be dealt with at home with support of community midwife and Mum and sisters. We will see her later either in hospital or at home. She sounds fine, but is sore for sitting down.

The baby looks like me she says - with very dark hair and deep brown eyes - she and her OH were fair with blue eyes, now a bit darker. So, one for me!!!

I cannot wait to see her - I will try and get a photo to post - I think you all deserve that after all your puffing and panting on her behalf!!!

Congratulations mishap on a gorgeous new GC! Enjoy your first cuddle

Welcome to the world Rosie - and congratulations Mishap!

mishap (they are roses)

Mishap Congratulations and enjoy her.

Many congratulations Mishap and welcome to Rosie I am so glad she is here, I have been pushing all afternoon and I have cramp in my legs
Welcome TwiceAsNice.
I am so jealous as I won't be getting any more GC, sniff, sniff.

Mishap hope you are having a much needed deep sleep by now. Just a thought for tomorrow - you could copy this thread, which illustrates the joy Rosie's birth has brought to us all, and put it in her memories box for her to see in years to come. [roses]
