My newest grandson was born today...

Congratulations and flowers for all the GNers with new arrivals . And yes, I too know someone who gave birth on the bathroom floor - and someone who gave birth at work in the staff toilets. Sometimes those storylines on TV aren't as farfetched as we assume!

Congratulations to the parents! And well done for choosing the bathroom floor. My daughter had her second son ( delivered by partner) on the rug in the living room. She had planned a home birth but not quite like that! She would have sympathy with the family where floor needed revarnishing - she had searched everywhere to find said rug, but then had to throw it out!

Welcome to the world, little boy, and congratulations all round - especially to his father. This story will become a family legend I'm sure, and a wonderful bond between father and son!

They take after her. DD1 was a nightmare and didn't sleep at all (well it felt like it) and her son is the same. DD2 slept the night from the day she was born and all three of hers have. Maybe it's partly genetic.

Lovely news. Best wishes to all.

Welcome to your new arrival

Crikey; that's what happened in that Life in Squares programme and I thought 'that's daft, it couldn't happen like that'. Wow!

Oh my
Congratulations vampirequeen.

The only person I know who had it happen, her mother happened to be there and is a long time midwife. And even she was shocked!

My youngest grandchild was also born on the bathroom floor, in hospital! She was "born in a cawl" with the membranes intact so should be safe from drowning according to the old wive's tale.
How amazing to have babies who don't need feeding off and on all night every night, like vampire's grandchildren. None of mine slept through until after a year old.

Visited and had my first cuddles today. DD is tired but well and DGS is lovely. I think he's going to be like her other two in that he slept from 11pm to 6am and would have slept longer but she thought he shouldn't go more that 7 hours without a feed on his first day of life . She's never done a 2am feed or walked the floor in the middle of the night with a screaming baby. Fingers crossed she's lucky again.

Now waiting for my other DD to have her baby. Should be any day now. Hopefully she'll get to hospital but if not we now have an expert baby deliverer in the family

Congratulations to you all. What a shock!

Congratulations to all with recent new GCs!

Congratulations.

Hope mum doing well too.

How lovely

Congratulations vampire! We had a new Grandson month ago, also speedy, but she managed to get to hospital just in time. Granddaughter number three arriving around Christmas, so three girls and three boys.

How lovely! Happy time.

How very exciting - a new grandson - congratulations!

Congratulations , as a new grandma of one week I can thoroughly recommend the role

Oh and I've just noticed more - thank you. Sorry, I didn't mean to enter your thread vampirequeen. It's just a happy time isn't it?

Thank you baubles.

Congratulations to all

Let's just hope they are not going to call the little chap "Andrex Flash (surname) "

Same thing happened with my DD and her son - is it boys who just can't wait? Bathroom floor delivery by baby's Dad for them too. No ill effects for any participants, and the floor was OK too!

Welcome to the world little man and hope all concerned are now doing well!

Congratulations to all in both families! . Hope the bathroom floor has recovered too

Congratulations all round VQ and to Liz46.

for you too Liz
