We arrived in Australia 36 hours ago, and DD1 was booked in to have her twins by C section on Thursday, it was moved to today a couple of days ago, for hospital convenience rather than theirs, ok so far. Then an hour before they were due to set off for hospital it was cancelled and they were told that due to lack of special care beds they would have to wait til Wednesday; however DD was a bit concerned that there was a lot less movement going on, so we all went in to get it checked....this was at 11am, we were expecting to have a quick check and then out to lunch! Thank goodness little DGD (3) was in daycare today, as by 2pm the hospital decided there were concerns, and they would after all do C section today, but if the babies needed any special care they would have to be taken by ambulance to nearest hospital with spare special care costs, an hour away, so poor DD in tears. DH and I drove back to theirs to get their bags etc, then back to hospital with them, DD being monitored by this time. Then we went to pick up DGD , fed her and put her to bed, such a dear little soul was as good as gold. Still no news, then video call from DD to say they are still concerned about one twin, but due to theatres being busy no C section possible tonight - but will keep her in and monitored.....luckily DSiL able to stay with her. So worrying, if they are concerned why don't they just get on with it? Jet lag catching up with us but can't imagine we shall get much sleep tonight. I know there is nothing anyone can do, but just needed to share, please keep your fingers crossed for the little twins.

Only just seen this so the good news was already in there along with the worry. What a stressful time for you all and I so glad there's a happy outcome. Good weights for twins. My first GS - emergency caesarean 4 years ago - weighed that on his own.

Enjoy it all!

Congratulations on your lovely new DGC, I bet your DD and DSiL are delighted to have you there caring for your little DGD. Somebody is going to have her hands full when you have to leave and DSiL has to return to work, I hope there is some local support for them.
Well done for being there for them, every blessing for you allflowers

Thanks so much for all the good wishes. We visited this evening and the twins are beautiful, look very different which may make life a little easier. DD very exhausted but luckily DSiL allowed to stay tonight to help her. We all had a little champagne and DGD enjoyed opening the babies presents! DD has lovely and supportive MiL who lives just 20 mins from her. We have 4 more weeks here. Hopefully we will be over the jet lag in a couple of days, we will need all our energy to support them all!
