To tell you my baby has just been born?!

My DH has had to go home to see the dogs and will be back later with DS 4 so for now I am in hospital by myself. However it is a lovely quiet post natal ward with one other couple. I think she had a c section this morning so not up and around yet. We are also right next to the canteen for food! DS was born this morning on his due date and his waters were still intact! Sometimes called mermaid birth/en caul. I don’t have anyone to talk to in hospital so posting here shamelessly.

Don't do that. You would be delighted too. I'm sorry to hear of your fertility struggles and maybe this little baby is a blessing to you too in some way as you read it for some reason. I'm sorry that you're so hurt. I wish you luck. This little baby brings luck.

Sorry you are experiencing difficulties conceiving but this is a parenting forum and therefore there is often talk of new babies. Gently, I would suggest you let the OP have her moment as her happiness is allowed. I sincerely hope you get a similar moment in the future Flowers

Ladywiddio · 16/06/2022 14:28

I don't think there is any more precious or beautiful than a newborn baby.
Congratulations to you OP.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 16/06/2022 14:36

Congratulations Wonderful news
Born inside the caul is supposed to bring lifelong luck( old wives tale!) and I hope this is true for your DS
