Good luck, when the wifes broke for our first one she made a right mess.....for no two I have bought some plastic sheet to cover the whole house in!!

The funniest bit was when she got in the car she moaned about the plastic bag on the seat with a dust sheet over it  ;D

Hello,

Back home!! waters have definately broken, but they can't do anything until labour actually starts proper. Something I learnt today, is even though the waters break, it does not mean that a baby will follow instantly after  :). So, we have 72 hours to kill before she would need to be induced, but it could happen anytime before then.

All rather exciting. I took precautions to the vehicles interior and covered the passenger seat with loads of towels. Knowing my luck she'll go into labour right in the middle of top gear :)

'Cut and shut' eh.......looks like Vectrolosys could be facing the prospect of smoking the little blighter out if it doesnt appear soon.

First - Sue was induced - baby wouldn't come out so EC in evening after 8 or so hours - 2 weeks late

Twins - 6 weeks early some scares so they were whipped out and kept in a SCBU for two weeks - we think there was twin to twin transfusion going on.

We got them home the same day our new TV arrived!! I can alway remember the boys birthday - 2 weeks before the TV arrived, my daughter was dug out the day after Damon Hill came second at Hungaroring in an Arrows

Well,

She gave birth to a baby girl this morning at 11:04 after an arduous 18 hours of labour. I was there for pretty much all of it. It's the most amazing experience seeing your child being born, nothing in the world compares to it.

Currently the baby is being monitored in an incubator as a precaution due to some complications during labour, however, the nurses have said that she is fine and improving by the hour .

Have left Sarah at hospital for an overnight stay, she may be in for a few days due to the epidural. All came out naturally, apart from the epidural. Coming out the sunroof was an option at about 5am this morning, but fortunately it wasn't needed.

An amazing 48 hours that I'll never forget.

James
