Warmest congratulations to you. There really is nothing nicer than a new baby in the family.

Congratulations Grannyactivist how lovely. My 5th Grt Grandchild is due in two weeks its so lovely isn't it.

I miscounted its going to be the 6th Grt ?

Congratulations grannyactivist! What happy news! ? ?

Congratulations from me too!

Just back from squishing my new grandson (and his very happy big sister) at the hospital and hearing the tale of baby’s birth. ?

Due to a miscommunication the hospital staff didn’t believe my daughter-in-law was in established labour when she arrived at the hospital so she was shown to a ward. She explained that she was having strong, regular contractions and they knew her waters had broken 26 hours previously, so to avoid introducing infection they didn’t give her an internal exam.

Shortly after arriving on the ward she went to the loo and when she didn’t reappear after a few minutes my son went to check on her and heard sounds to indicate she was giving birth behind the locked door. Nobody responded to the emergency bell so he went and literally grabbed a passing midwife - who reassured him that his wife wasn’t yet at a stage to be giving birth, then promptly changed her tune and unlocked the door just in time to catch the baby as he was born!

Big sister proudly introduced him to us and revealed his name, which I’m happy to say we love. He’s a gorgeous nine pound bundle of love. ?

Why is it so hard to get medics to believe that sometimes the patient knows best!

So glad there was a happy ending.

Many congratulations Grannyactivist, lovely news. The birth of a beautiful grandson xx

Congratulations to you all grannya. Wonderful news.

Congratulations to you Grannyactivist, your daughter in law and son, on the birth of the new baby.
