Poor sister in law...

[kittylettekissingsanta]

has just had her first baby by cescerian , and her mum didnt bother to go to the hospital

she was induced at 8am, and had a csection as the babys heartbeat dropped, he was born but not breathing and was resusitated,

her mum didnt bother to go be with her!!!

SIL has always said her mum was an arse, but this really takes the cake!!

BIL and MIL were there, but what kind of a mum cant be bothered attending the birth of her first grandchild??

i meanwhile am an extremely proud aunty for the first time!

raise a glass to baby Travis Matthew!!

Congratulations Aunty kittylette, and welcome to Travis Matthew!
At least your SIL has lots of other relatives to support her, but how odd that her mother has shown no interest.

thanks! i think her mums got some real problems, not in a sarcy way, in a real way,

i just feel awful for my SIL cause shes just fab, but lives with her mum so has to go back there after her mums done this to her!

but...my mum was not around at the rather traumatic birth of ds. Don't hospitals prefer for relatives to stay away sometimes.

But there are obviously other issues between her and her mother here so very pleased your sil got through it, and congratulations. .

Congratulations on the new addition. Hope your SIL recovers well from the C-section.

TBH though, I wouldn't want to be at the birth of anyone's children but my own. Nor would I want anyone else at the birth apart from DH and as few medical staff as possible so I can understand why your SIL's mum might not have been keen.

But there are probably lots of other issues at play here. She might turn out to be the best granny ever just not keen on birthing scenes!

but even if i felt like that (which i couldn't) i would wait outside just to let her know i was there for her. IYSWIM.
