Hi @bpoolmecca,

Firstly a warm welcome to our community and secondly, a huge congratulations on being due to become a Grandparent! 😊

I can completely understand the worries you have about your Daughter, this is only natural and you sound very supportive.

I'm sure your Daughter has overcome many obstacles in her life and I'm sure she will overcome any obstacles that may come her way during her pregnancy and after the baby is born.

I think this article about 'Debbie' and her pregnancy journey would be lovely for you to read, it may help to put your mind at ease.

Take care
