On labour ward. This is stressful!

Waiting for the good news, do let us know when it's all over and baby's here xx

She is 38 weeks so all should be well. I know only / too well just how stressful it can be and how helpless you feel. Not long to go now though. Stay strong. Your presence will be so valuable to her xx

Love to you all. Nearly there now. So pleased you can be there to support them.

So good that you are there and you will be transmitting more strength than you realise. Power to you and the new mum to be xxx

What a night you must be exhausted, hope your daughter has her cs soon and all goes well xx

((((Hugs)))). Hope all goes well, it's a really nerve wracking time especially as you're expected to be the Strong One. Try to get a bit of zzzz when she goes to theatre. You must be knackered too.

Just seen the Dr.
Her kidney function is not great so it's looking like she'll be having a c section this morning when the day staff come on.
I booked my annual leave for two weeks after the due date and can't bring it forward
DD1 has two weeks off now though so she can help out.

I need to take emergency leave today so I can be with DD2. Plus I can't be working 'on the other side' as it wouldn't be right and I'd be a wreck!

We had agreed I would go home soon so DD and partner could experience what was supposed to be this magical time together!
Now they are both scared and want me here until they know if it's a trip to theatre or not!
Bless her, she's like a vulnerable child again in one way, but brave and strong in another.

Thoughts are with you and your daughter. What an ordeal and waiting and watching is so hard. Xx

Hope all is OK, very scary time. She must be so glad you're with her. Very best wishes.

Good luck. Please keep us informed. I'm sure you'll look back on today and smile one day -after all it'll be your grandchilds birthday!

Try to think ahead to that lovely moment when you will hold your grandchild for the first time.

You may be needed in the next weeks, if only to shop, cook and clean so you'd better catch up on your sleep!

How awful for you OP. When it's your child in distress, even once they become an adult, you just wish you could make the pain go away or swap places with them. The NHS were wonderful when I was seriously ill, and I'm sure she'll get the best care possible. Holding your hand and giving you a virtual hug xx

Thanks for the handholds.
She keeps vomiting.
We've seen the consultant and her BP has stabilised so they will induce her soon.
She's exhausted. God knows how she will find the energy to go through labour!
I wish they would just section her but its major surgery so I think they are putting it off for as long as they can.

?is this showing up as a handhold?
By now all may be well or an emergency C section may be on the cards, but here's my hand.
Hoping to hear reassuring news in the morning not forgetting an NHS

I went through this a few years back. Giving you a virtual hand to hold and a ?
