At the moment my blood pressure has not even stabilised - not even with meds

@worldwidetravel2017 how scary but well done for spotting it and getting seen and you're in the best possible place. Hope they can keep you well and baby cooking a little bit longer though 🙏

@worldwidetravel2017 that’s positive that they are taking good care of you and for now full on labour is being held off—I can’t remember, how far along are you? I hope you do get a little respite at home, I can imagine sleep is difficult rn but especially in hospital.

@dubkitten she is absolutely perfect, it’s just so surreal something (someone!) so whole can be growing inside of us! Congratulations and welcome baby Callie! Hope labour went smoothly and you’re recovering well.

AmberRose26 · 09/01/2026 10:47

@worldwidetravel2017 glad you are getting home and hope you can take it easy and rest, best of luck for your upcoming appointments 🤍

Oh, that's super cute!

It must be wonderful to be back home - nothing like being in your own space! Is it really snowy with you, or are you able to venture out? Though I suppose snuggling down while it's cold outside could be very nice too!

I’m based in Dublin so no snow here. I’m gonna stay on for a few days and rest up. My siblings and their families are coming over today to meet her.

SarahAndQuack · 11/01/2026 11:12

Oh, that's wonderful! Hope you have a lovely gentle day with family.

@worldwidetravel2017 Thinking of you and hope you can get some rest now back home.
