My daughter-in-law’s waters broke last night and she’s been having contractions, on and off, all day. We’re taking care of the dog, the other grandparents have our granddaughter…..and we’re all on tenterhooks hoping that baby puts in an appearance overnight.

It’s been a difficult year with many family members having serious health issues, so we’re all looking forward to the joy that a new baby brings.

Is anyone else in line to be a granny before the year’s end? This little chap will be my tenth.

Congratulations!!
I am due to become a Grandmother for the first time in November!
My daughter and her husband are expecting a baby boy in November. My daughter is unable to carry a child due to health problems and they have a wonderful surrogate carrying their baby for them.

How exciting for the whole family but particularly for your DD and SIL. Congratulations.

What a cheerful thread, congratulations to all new grandparents, and to those who are fortunate enough to have quite a dynasty in the making

How lucky is your new grandson, GrannyActivist, enjoy him as much as you do all of the others!

If I’d have known how marvellous having grandchildren was, I’d have had them first

Love that! I might say it to my own boys!

Grannyactivist Sorry, I'm late to the party ... many congratulations. Glad all worked out well in the end, but what a drama! Something to tell your lovely grandson when he's older.

And congratulations to all the other grans-to-be. Joyful news during difficult times.
