My eldest daughter is 9 days overdue to have her baby (the 2nd one) and she's just gone home in an absolute state of exhaustion poor lamb. We think she's in labour but its being so slow and not coming quite to fruition yet. Doesn't your heart go out to them when you see them distressed and if only we could do it for them!!! ...(but then again.....!!! LOL ) A nice flow of positive thoughts might cheer her up and gee her on a bit, so - Tanya (and Ashley, the proud and patient but very nervous expectant father) 'come on my sweet - you can do it and you'll soon both be the happiest and proudest you've ever been - and I love you dearly.' Mum x x UPDATE....... expectanct Grandma sits not very patiently drumming fingertips on desk...........

Positive thoughts then for Tanya and Ashley. i hope the little one will be here soon, if only to put your Mum out of her misery. will be thinking of them Lucy ann glos

Lots of positive thoughts winging their way to your daughter! Hope all goes well !! xxxxxxxx Kaz

Hi Lucy I can empathise with your daughter. My daughter was 10 days late, she is a second child too. Sending positive 'labour' thoughts. Juliexx

Poor lass my heart goes out to her. But it will be worth it in the end.Baby will come when it is ready. Reminds me of my daughter our baby is now almost 10 month old her second. she came here as usual in the morning she didn't look too good I said are you OK yes she said just a little twinge I said you had better get home no she said not due for a week yet. This was at dinner time 5.30 a call she is on her way MIL will pick you up baby born that night a lovely little girl. Hope all goes well for our daughter. Germaine x

All my sympathies, been there, stretched the Tee shirt bet its a boy...................let us know.......... love Barbara..xx

Lucy, my daughter is expecting twins in 8 weeks, but looks and feels full-term now. She is exhausted too. I just want to keep hugging her and I'm doing everything I can to help her with her little boy. Positive thoughts to your daughter and you. Susan

Here's some energy coming all the way from Switzerland for Tanya to help get those contractions going! My second had to be induced. What is it with these second babies?!?! All well worth it in the end though which is what Tanya and Ashley will be saying soon. Will keep looking in for news. Hope all goes well. Margaret

Hi Lucy, For Tanya and Ashley, I hope your new arrival to be does not keep both you and expectant grandma waiting too much longer. Good luck with everything and enjoy him or her when they decide to arrive lol Lucy, will you be a nan, nanna or Grandma? Wilf :-))

did she not try the curry for tea, or the walk round the block they always suggest, as if you could even be bothered to walk two steps when in labour, lol bless her my thoughts are with her, and im not wishing to do it all for her either lucy, my memory may be bad but i can sure remember what labour feels like thoughts to you all

Wilf,, I'm definitely a 'Grandma'!..... and very proud of it. Lucy x

Good luck to your daughter, Lucy. I know what you mean about being a parent, read my 'its going to be a long night' thread!

Maggie - just replied on your thread - who'd be a mum eh? LOL !!!! Lucy x

It certainly is a job for life isn't it. My hubby has done his share too, he's been with her all day, but it's my turn tomorrow while he goes to work.

I'm off to bed now folks - I'll be hoping I'm awoken to some wonderful 'baby news' soon. Thanks for your good will messages - I'll check back in the morning for any additions from the 'overnight crew'!!! Goodnight all Lucy x

Your not kidding Lucy.... Being a parent is the most under estimated and hardest job there is....but also very rewarding! Sending lots of positive thoughts to your daughter and her hubby, hope baby comes very soon... best wishes to all, Libby xxx

Hi Tanya Hope all goes well sweetheart. Lots of positive labour thoughts on their way. Donna xx

gosh! i know what it was like when my grandchild was on its way/born. my sons girlfriend was in slow labour for about a week.when it is your first you are not sure about anything (second one isnt any better either. lol). then you get the phone call last thing at night and dont sleep until next morning when you find out the little mite has arrived safe and well! wishing you all the best. keep us informed please. tina x
