Ahh! Sit tight, though it's such a madly exciting and important time The best thing you can do for the three of them is just be at their beck & call!

Good luck x

If you were to turn up (like my MiL) with several other relatives about 30 minutes after the birth and whilst DiL was still in the delivery suite, and insisted on seeing PFGD because you have your aged aunt with you you would definitely be being unreasonable.

11 years on and I still haven't forgotten that DH insisted that I let them in...

Hmmmm, maybe I should have put in the title.

That sounds awful Donki. Shock

I won't do that!

It all goes so quickly, DS is only 23 and DiL 24 (just).

They are so young, I can still 'feel' his hand in mine iyswim?

Well its totally reasonable but only if you fancy having a placenta thrown at your head and never being forgiven.

Nah get straight down there and position yourself at the business end on a lawn chair with snacks.

Then ask her to hurry up.

Pop down with some bed socks or other essential item and say "I know that you wouldn't think to pack them yourself but they are an absolute savour trust me" and wrestle them on her even if the midwives object.

My mother asked me to schedule my induction around her assigned work holidays as she had booked them in anticipation of DD's birth.

So you seem less U.

I am not U, I am totes R.

I just want to be there and elbow everyone else out of the way so I get to hold her first.

What's wrong with that?
