I’m going to be a granny 😍

[Spotsbeforemyeyes]

DD (24) told us yesterday that she and her partner are expecting their first child.

It’s earlier than they had planned by about 4 years but hey ho.

She is the eldest of 6 on our side and her chap is the eldest of 3 on his (he’s 30)

It’s exciting isn’t being it? We have young dc still, youngest is 8, they're all excited.

I’m a bit worried about her mental health, she can’t be fragile, but other nanny and I will keep an eye out, we’re both local.

Just wanted to share. ❤️

Ah congratulations OP. Wonderful news x

Ahh that’s lovely - congratulations! My oldest is 24 and youngest is 3, but no grandchildren on the horizon yet. Very exciting for you x

Exciting for you all - hope her pregnancy goes well.

Aww, congratulations

Lovely news, congratulations!

Thank you. Her chap is worried that he doesn’t know what to do. It’s very sweet

That's lovely news - congratulations I have just been lucky enough to be there for the birth of my new grand-daughter and was worried about intruding on their privacy, but I have since had a lovely hug from my son in law who told me that they couldn't possibly have managed without me there. Made my day!

Congrats! How very lovely for you all. 🍾

Congratulations!

How lovely! You sound over the moon🥰

AWw furiousfuggler how lovely. I’m a Doula and DD’s has always said she’d want me there but I don’t want to intrude.

I don’t have a mum, she died when I was 11 so I never had a mother figure when I was expecting any of mine. My mil (rest her soul) was quite distant.

I am excited. I’m worried too that she’s still quite young and they like their holidays. She had a tough few years as a teen , she’s had abusive partners in the past so it’s a big relief that she’s found someone lovely.

It seems a bit unreal that my baby will be having a baby. 👀

How lovely, congratulations! A new baby is always exciting news but very special that it’s your own grandchild

It's good to be a young nana! Many years left with the grandkids! I'm 24 now and like your daughter am not planning it for another 5 years. I worry DPs parents won't have long with them when we do as they're already late 60s 😭

Congratulations

Congratulations. It will all work out for them, despite their worries. We know how that feels.

Congratulations!

Being a parent is the making of many young people, myself included. to you and to your DD and her partner.

He doesn’t need to know what to do, he will learn. I’d advise him (and her) to start with the viewpoint that they are equal partners, and that means he needs to be 100% invested in parenting and in sharing the shitwork/‘wifework’ - that’s all he needs to do!

Congratulations, and enjoy it!

Congratulations
It is THE BEST being a grandma
You can't imagine how lovely and different it feels compared to being mum.
👍👍🍀

Aww thank you, you’ve all been so lovely. IVE him not to worry Rory about it and he’ll know what’s to do when the time comes.

LUckily other grandma is lovely too. THE other grandad lives overseas but close enough to get to from time to time.

It’s going to take so long to pass the next 7 and a half month s isn’t it? 😂

Sorry about a PST and typos. ipad has a mind of its own.

Congratulations! Ninkaninus is spot on, DGS was certainly the making of DD and DSIL.

If you would like aпу clues as to what it feels like, my thread in Classics ( www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/2955799-To-clap-my-hands-and-skip-about-in-a-elephantine-manner?pg=1&order= )gives some idea. DW and I have never been so happy.

Congratulations! I was 24 when I had my first too, also a first grandchild. My mum was at my birth (both my births, in fact) and has been a wonderful grandmother - actually it’s been a really lovely development of our mother-daughter relationship too, starting with my first pregnancy. Lovely lovely times ahead for you all. ❤️

Many congratulations to you 💐I was told very early on in my DDIL's pregnancy and it was so frustrating to have to keep quiet, yes, I felt like you, my baby is having a baby. Well not literally because I'm the Mil, I felt honoured to have been told so early.

My first Grandchild is only eight months old but she has brought another level of joy. I provide childcare a couple of days a week. An it is wonderful to watch my DS and DDIL being parents.

disgrace I remember your thread. Going back to have another read now. Thank you
