Playing the waiting game (grandchild due)

Congratulations to all. Enjoy him!

Congratulations to you all. I can stop checking now and go to bed.

Well done mum. That is a big baby! And congratulations new gran and all the best to you all.

Congratulation and joy to the new gran and to all concerned! Thank you for allowing us to share your experience.

Congratulations! I wish you all well and hope you get to see the not-so-little chap soon. ??

Woop woop! Well done to all concerned. My second son was 9lbs and a long long labour, so I can fully empathise with the poor exhausted mother! Have a glass of champagne ? to wet the baby’s head. Would it be too nosy to ask you to let us know how he’s doing and any names? ?

Congratulations!!! Sleep well!! Love and best wishes. Xxx

Many Congratulations on the birth of your first Grandchild and welcome to the 'Granny' club. Hope all is well.
Wishing you much happiness.Enjoy.

Congratulations Gran! 9lbs 5ozs!! That's a whole lot of baby. All the more for you to love. Well done that Mum too.
Forget the wine, break out the bubbly!

Congratulations! Exactly the same as me 9lb 5 oz boy by Ventouse. I can fully empathise with the long labour. Glad all is well.

Congratulations!

And a big Thankyou to everyone who has really kept me going. I shall start being part of this community now

It's the wine that did it!!!
Boy 9 lb 5 oz by Ventouse - all well - mother exhausted!
Time for bed!!

:paces up and down hall: :lights another cigarette: ???

I'm on the wine now LOL ( I don't actually approve of drinking to calm nerves but - desperate times!!!)

Waiting for news really feels worse, in some ways, than going through it yourself. You can't help imagining and guess what is happening.

I have been through it seven times and the last one was as bad as the first!

Hang on and try not to worry too much. Easier said than done, I know.

Poor girl. She's had quite a time of it. Hope it's all safely over soon.

I literally don't know what's keeping them - nearly two hours since they said assisted delivery or c-section! I would have assumed there was some element of urgency in there ...

Really hoping your daughter gets a move on ?. I'm going to bed at 10

On tenterhooks here with you, Newbiegran!! As I’m sure are many others. ?

Really hoping for good news soon, you must be shattered with worry yourself. I am sure by tomorrow you will be on cloud nine!

Hope the baby is with you soon! Xx

Ok update at 7pm UK time- via her partner via his mum - she is going in for possible assisted delivery (I assume that's forcept?) or C-section. I am assuming she is too tired to push or baby is getting tired.

my first grandson was due on the 12 feb last year by c-section same day i was getting a cancerous tumor removed, problem with hospital and she had to wait till 13th, we texted back and forward asking each other how we were doing and talked on facebook, i could not see him till he was 4 weeks old, due to him having breathing problems. just send you daughter a message to say you are thinking of her and you are there if she wants to chat. good luck and hugs when the little one arrives xx

I know we're all different but I was induced and had my DS without even needing gas and air, it was all over in a few hours. By the way I'm the most cowardly person I know when it comes to pain. So try to relax. You'll soon be enjoying cuddling your new little one, it's worth the wait.
