To deliver my neighbours baby?

[Whitegrenache]

Wow what a day,
My neighbour was in "early" labour this morning at 39 weeks so I popped in for cuppa and a chat.
3 hours later and a very quick..oh these contractions are getting painful to "I need to push"
Her ds was born into my arms.
Ambulance arrived 5 mins later.

I'm so proud of her and thrilled that I was there.

What a privilege to welcome new life into the world.

I'm on cloud nine

That's amazing.
Congratulations to your neighbour and well done you!

Wow what an experience!

Was it her first child? Nice and quick!

Well done to you!

How utterly fantastic! What an experience, you’ll never forget today. Well done you!

How wonderful! Well done you both!

Make sure you add that to your cv!!

Well done! And to wind down after all that excitement! How are they both?

Awwww! What an amazing experience. You were in the right place at the right time...we’ll done 👍

Wow! Well done!

2nd baby.

She got home about 9 tonight so I took my kids up to see baby and we all had a glass of prosecco.

I have delivered calves and lambs and of had 2 children but wow what a rush today was!

Mum and baby are both fine x

Wow OP! Well done, what an amazing experience!

I have always wanted to be a midwife (age 41!)

It was one of the most proud things I have ever done in my life and I can't stop thinking about it and shedding a little tear

What a lucky woman you are. Bet you're walking on air.

That is amazing!!

So lucky

Not many people get to do that.

We were only joking a few weeks ago when we were snowed in (rural farms) that she may have to have baby at home!

I was the first person to hold him and the first person his little eyes saw

This is amazing! well done OP

How wonderful! And how lucky for her that you were there and had some idea what you were doing, (I'd have panicked and run away to "get someone"). A lovely story so thank you for sharing that.

That is amazing

I delivered DS myself in a hospital loo last month. On paper it was a traumatic labour but secretly, given everything turned out okay, I'm glad it was just him and me.

Lovely! This has made me grin from ear to ear, OP.

I have delivered calves and lambs
Did you rub the baby with a handful of straw?

Wow how fantastic.

Congrats all!

Amazing what a huge privilege

That's so lovely! Congratulations to you all!

How wonderful. Not surprised you are on cloud nine!
