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.

Congratulations on your gorgeous boy!

My grandmother was born in caul (she kept it all her life!) and was the luckiest person I’ve known. Loved and respected by all, simply adored by my granda. She lived to 96 without a day of serious illness, and died quickly after a fall down steps on her way out for the day. I’m sure she had a charmed life and here’s to your boy having the same!
