Thank you for all your good wishes and advice.

Congratulations!

I recognize I am late to the game, but I too agree that sending a supportive text is a great option in situations such as that.

Congratulations, how exciting! I would send son or DIL a message of support, just to let them know you are thinking of them.

I always say ‘sending you a virtual hug’ and it’s natural that you want to at this exciting but worrying time.

tanith Wed 28-Aug-19 21:32:12

That should be dils family

tanith Wed 28-Aug-19 21:31:22

It’s hard to take a backseat, my sons children were born abroad that was the hardest thing when I knew I was finding out after the babies were born and all dies family were right there, I was so jealous and they are the nicest people you could meet.
Do as suggested be supportive by text.

BradfordLass72 Wed 28-Aug-19 21:29:29

I used to send my sons a brief message now and then:
"Mum loves you to bits, consider yourself hugged xxxx"

It made them laugh.

Grannyben Wed 28-Aug-19 19:25:21

Oh bless you. It's such an exciting time but it does take us back and remind us of when they came running to mum for hugs and support.
Why not send him a quick message, sending your love to all and reminding him that you are available if needed. Then, sit back and wait till you can give all three members of the new family the biggest hugs ever

My daughter in law is in labour and they have been sent home till she is further on. Her mum has gone to see her. This I totally understand and certainly wouldn’t go but having spoken to my son I would love to give him a hug?.
