Something even more stupendous has happened though, the unasked question I’ve had wriggling around in my brain for the last 30 weeks has been answered. Big family meal yesterday and Son and DIL arrived first, complete with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for me, DIL was in need of an antenatal check-up so I went through all the ‘routine’ and as usual asked if there were any questions. There were, what did I think of TENs machines, off I went into my little chat about ‘anything’s worth a try’. Practice putting it on and how the controls work before you’re in labour, make sure that you start using it as soon as you think you may be in labour as it works by ‘tricking’ the brain and reducing the recognition of pain from contractions, it’s called the Gate theory etc. Out came my demonstration pelvis and off I went showing the reason that lying down restricts the possibilities for the joints within the pelvis to move and so allow for an increase of the internal dimensions. Have you thought of using water to help with pain-relief? I was on a roll, then DIL stopped me in my tracks, ‘ You will be there won’t you?’. After checking that they were really asking me to be with them when their first baby, and my 6th grandchild, was born I jumped-up, hugged them both, and burst into tears, so did DIL. I know that I was happy, and I think that my happiness was making her happy. Now all I’ve got to do is discuss it with the powers that be, that will be fun – not.
Awww 🙂 That’s great that they asked finally! I hope it’s not too awkward to organise.
Oh how wonderful! You are obviously very special, because if you weren’t this isn’t something you’d ask anyone to do just to be polite. Well done you 🙂

For me! Thank you! I shall do an entry about it and give you a mention sometime soon.
That’s lovely to read, and no wonder you’re happy!
Take care. xx
I’m so pleased for you that Son and DIL have asked you to be there for the arrival of the next grandchild. I hope the powers that be understand how important it is and are suitably accommodating.
I’m glad that one’s all sorted!
Aren’t your two mum of 4s the same person, I always thought they were.
Oh! Cheers!
wildduck – I’m well chuffed. Nothing will stop me being there!
Anji – The family concensous appears to be that having me at the birth makes them feel safe as I wouldn’t let anyone do anything unsafe. Also, I’m a great translator of medical terminology!
Flghty – The sunflower was joy enough.
Lucy – It’s really exciting and ‘the powers’ will just have to accept that this is this same as any other couple I am giving support to.
Vic- I thought they were the same peron, but then 20six Mum denied it so I’m just treating them as 2 different people!
Town mouse – You never know what may come out of a clear sky, perhaps a sort of mizzle.
No no – tis me – both of ’em!!! I just don’t do 20six so much as someone found me there and so it really restricted what I was writing…sorry for the confusion.
Thank you for the award!!!! So so kind of you.
I am THRILLED the DIL asked you to be there for her. I hoped it would be the case – and I am sure your steppingt back and letting them come to you helped TREMENDOUSLY. I remember mentioning this when they first announced it to you.
I am so pleased it has gone well – and sod the powers that be (if only it were that easy!!).
mumof4 – A double award! I’m glad that you are both of them ‘cos 20six Mof4 was worrying me, I even invited you to come and stay! Also, I know where to ‘visit’ now.
Oh how exciting! Another grandchild! 🙂
Your “demonstration pelvis”.. how funny!
Thank you for the nomination. That was sweet of you. 🙂
