I just wonder if this has happened to anyone else?
DS and DDiL had given up all hope of having a child when she found she was pregnant. A few worries over early bleeding, but all proceeded normally to the due date and beyond. After 10 days she went into labour and off they went to the hospital. A long labour battling solely with use of gas and air, no progress, epidural put in, then she suffered a large haemorrhage, panic stations and was rushed into theatre for emergency caesarian as the heart rate had dropped quite dramatically. We of course knew none of this.
We had a text from DS to say that the baby had arrived, but they were tired and needed to rest before saying anything more. We understood and waited for more news. after 20 hours with no contact, and no reply to text and phone call ignored, I was starting to worry.
Eventually get a phone call from DS, deeply upset, reveals what she has gone through, and says they don't want to see anyone at the moment. I do really understand this, and of course will respect their wishes, but I would so love to be able to meet our new grandson, it is really frustrating to be so close and yet not knowing when things will improve.
DDiL's mum rushed over as soon as she heard of the birth, as is only natural, and I am glad they have her support. I am being unreasonable I do realise this, but I would just love to know when I can get to see the three of them, it is so frustrating, I just want to wrap my arms round them?
