I'm about to be a grandma!! My daughter just went to the hospital to have her first baby and I am so excited I can't stand it!! I am not allowed to tell anyone but I can tell you guys!! Shhh don't tell her I told you!! I just want to jump up and down right now!! :)

Glad for the baby. And may I say great that you are waiting at home for the call. I am a labor and delivery nurse and today many members of the family feel they have the "right" to be in the labor room because they are fill in the blank. The only person who has the right is the mother to be and maybe the father if she wants him! Again congrats to you for the baby and having manners and class.

You know I had to talk to my daughter about this because she did want me there and I respectfully told her thank you for the honor but this is a special time for you and your husband only. You need to lean on each other and I am a phone call away if you need me. I don't believe in a circus of people in the room it is a very very special time that they will recount over and over. Those memories shouldn't be clouded with other people and their comments and memories being recounted while she is trying to create her own. She has called me several times now to keep me posted and I love her so much and I'm tearing up right now because I am so happy for her and her husband. Thank you for your post it said everything I was feeling.

Just got an update! She has her epidural now and in good spirits. They haven't checked to see if she has dilated anymore yet. I would imagine she has but all is well so far!

The epidural should help if she stalled a little. The relaxing of her muscles from the pain should help also if they started her on pit she should get it so she can handle the pain. She should hopefully go 1cm every 2 hours and can push from 1 to 3 hours because this is her first. Hang in there everything should be fine!

Congrats to you from one grandmother to another! My second grandson was born last Saturday. I told my son that once I have my date, I will spend the weekend with them prior to having the surgery since they live about an hour or so away from me. I am looking forward to seeing my grandson, while at the same time, looking forward to getting my date tomorrow at my appointment. I am jumping with triple excitement! So I truly understand your joy!

They haven't checked her again yet but I agree the epidural will relax her body. She called me earlier in the evening laughing so hard because her Water broke and just flooded the floor! Typical movie style! Then the pains began!! On Friday she was almost 3 centimeters and 75-80% effaced. So I am hoping by like 3:00 a.m. we will have a baby. Thank you so much for the support and knowledge I really appreciate it!

Well you get a double congratulations then!! I have no doubt you are anxious to see that little one and have your surgery! Just think of how much fun you are going to have with that new grandchild and what you will be able to do with your new healthy self!

As I always say to patients and family from your mouth to God's ears! You can never tell how fast or slow babies will come. Had pt yesterday went from 5 to 10 cm in 10 mins. Was not her first child but the baby almost came out on the bed. Luckily the doctor got there in time and I didn't have to grab her. I have had to in the past. One of the plus and minus of my job.

Thank you! I don't know how I will be able to concentrate at work until I leavt to go to my appointment! Lol!

I would imagine no 2 days are every the same in the L&D! You are right though you never really know how long it will take! We actually had a pool between both families to see when the baby would be born and how big. Hope I win I need some new clothes!

Any news???
