Nervous today

I remember posting in 2020 just before the first lockdown to announce the birth of my first grandchild( a boy). 

Fast forward a couple of years and now I’m waiting for grandchild number 2, a girl this time. 

Due date is 31st July and yesterday my daughter went for a scan and they realised that the placenta may not be working as it should. She’s also got an infection, which she has antibiotics for. 

This morning she went into hospital to be induced. They broke her waters at about midday and now she’s about 4cm dilated. 

Today I’m looking after my grandson at his house with my younger daughter. 

I wish more than anything I could be with her and my heart is in my mouth! Not knowing how she’s really doing is the worst part! 

My son is law has been giving me regular updates, which is really nice of him. 

Now I’m just waiting to hear the news of the safe arrival of my first granddaughter! Exciting times ahead! I will let you all know once she’s born!

All the best Poppy, my brothers girlfriend had some issues when she was close to giving birth to my nephew in February and it all worked out in the end.

Looking forward to positive news soon!

Hi @poppy123456, please let us know how things go for your daughter and granddaughter, now we are as anxious as you are!
I'm sure that everything will go well, I pray for a safe delivery and good health for both mother and baby.

Exciting @poppy123456 try and not wear a bald patch in the carpet while you wait for arrival 

Induction can take a while but can also be rapid once established labour starts 

Fingers crossed she arrives safe and sound b4 the day is through

How exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. You’ll soon be welcoming your granddaughter to the world, I bet she’ll be a beauty. Best wishes @poppy123456

Thank you everyone! Baby arrived safely at 8.35pm weighing 8Ib, exactly the same weight as her brother was. 

Both mammy and baby are doing well. I’m impatiently waiting for a first picture. 

Hopefully they will be home sometime tomorrow.
@Sandy_123 congratulations to you too!
