Lovely news, tanith 
ga Glad all is well.
Oh Ga it's just one worry after another, I hope she keeps well 
Lovely news tanith. 
My daughter was seen at home by the midwife this afternoon - and sent off to the hospital for foetal monitoring as she (the midwife) thought the baby's heartbeat was very slow. Even though the hospital had been telephoned we still waited over an hour to be seen, which I'm sure contributed to daughter's raised blood pressure. Still, eventually all was well and she is now back at home. This is my relieved face: 
Kazgran great news. Don't worry, so long as you are welcoming and don't interfere too much, things will work out just fine.
We have GC in the same village, next village, 15 miles away and 80 miles away. The local ones do the popping in thing, which can be a pain but I don't complain as lots of people on here would love that! The ones 15 miles away I look after one day a week and sometimes they stay here. The one in London come every 6 weeks or so for the weekend and we skype in between. Part of the reason they come home is because DD2's brothers and sisters are around and we get the benefit!!
We have made our spare bedrooms multi purpose so the GCs come and have their own room but when 'grownups' come the decor is not too babyish. we have a travel cot, high chair and lots of toys. DH remarked that we seem to have more baby stuff around now than when ours were young.
Such a lot of good news due during the next year for everyone and wishing you first time nanna's all the cuddles you can manage it is a magical time indeed,I was very lucky to be at all the births of my DDs children and it is a thing that I will never forget such a special special moment when new life arrives,my very best friend was DDs midwife so I was trusted to help with the actual delivery of DGD which made it that extra special as she is the only pink one out of six DGCs to DD.
Welcome Kazgran you will have loads of information here from nanna's if and when you need it.
Not long to go now GA how exciting for you,we could do with another little person in the family but I'm not holding out any hopes just yet,I do wish my boys would realise how broody their mum can get sometimes.
Hello Kazgran and welcome; there's going to be a real flurry of activity from January with all the announcements generated by the new grandchildren. I am very excited on my daughter's behalf as much as my own: as her first-born was premature and then she was widowed when baby was only 17 weeks old she never really got to savour his babyhood. With the new baby she will be able to just enjoy the experience of being a mummy to a newborn - 's lovely! Happy !
Same here, grandchild number 8 due on 7th June
Grandchild number 6 due 16th June. A lovely christmas surprise
Welcome Kazgran , enjoy your time here .
kazgran Welcome. You have joined us at the beginning of a new year in which a new member of the family will arrive. Lovely! Our youngest grandson, who will be three in April, lives 600+ miles away. We're on the remote west coast of Scotland. He lives in London - a twelve hour journey from door to door. The other adult grandchildren live in the Midlands. I'm certain that you will begin to enjoy your new role from the moment baby arrives. The distance between you is not that great. I have to settle for about four visits in a year. Not nearly enough [from my point of view]. We send postcards to the Wee Man and I write short stories for him. Whenever we meet with all the family members, I'm at my happiest. Even though our gatherings are not as frequent as I would like, we are never strangers. The wee man always dashes into our arms and all is well with the world. It's a matter of compromise. You are in for a real treat. I wish you well.
Exactly, when and she went on to have another just 18 months later. 
Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage last summer and has since decided to count her blessings, concentrate on her career and stop at two and sent her DH off for the snip. 
when DD2 went to the GP and registered the fact that they were starting to try so there would be no hanging around if they were unsuccessful. The GP was brilliant and told her to come back in a year and they would start treatment straight away.
DD1 found it very difficult to conceive and had lots of tests which found there was nothing wrong with either of them. Being a thorough sort of person she did loads of research, took her temperature, changed their diets, started acupuncture - anything and everything! She eventually became pregnant.
At the same time, both she and her husband changed jobs and they moved house, DD claims it was her methods that worked but I'm fairly sure it was the new house, new baby!
My fourth grandchild is due on May 24th. DIL had complications with her first pregnancy and DGS arrived six weeks early via C section. Although he was a healthy 6lb 4oz a few problems meant that he spent two weeks in SCUBU. He is now a lively fifteen month old.
They have chosen to know the gender so will find out later this month. I am so glad it was not an option when I was carrying my sons.
How lovely to be present at the birth ga
kitty my great-niece has PCOS and just had a baby boy a couple of months ago, having been told she would need IVF in the future. Both my daughters have it and their IVF worked first time - twin boys and twin girls for us, as a result. Isn't science wonderful?
My first grandbaby is due on February 10th. It is hoped to be a boy. I do not mind I will love it anyway, but the my SiL family is very old fashioned
My little grandon is due on 28th January, if he doesn't arrive before. My son and partner have had a gender scan, and then a 4D scan, which they invited me to watch with them. It was magical! He'll be born by c-section for medical reasons. Can't wait to meet him now.
My second GC is due in early Feb. Gender not known. Names decided but they're not letting on .
