can hardly wait, hope they are all ok my youngest little darling couldnt make his mind up like that , we had 2 false alarms starting november , he wasnt due till end of january, we got sent to civvy hospital cos my doctor was in iraq , and special care was low staffed, darling son decided he would wait , then had another go boxing day, then changed his mind, we came back to wales for a week inbetween, he then decided maybe he would maybe he wouldnt begining of january,and 29 hours later arrived. hes still very cautious!!!!!!!!! best wishes craig and lulu

The waiting is killing me, I hate not knowing whats going on.

i bet its all happening as we type,,,,What a wonderful experience,,, to be there when your baby arrives into the world,,lucky craig,

tHIS BABY WILL HAVE SO MANY GODPARENTS

Now if Craig had a laptop, he could give us a running commentary on the proceedings,.........hope it goes well for you both......and soon, Bob Conversely, a young mum, on friday afternoon was walking to collect her two girls from school, sometime friday night she went in, sat morning gave birth to a boy, monday, she was walking her two girls, and the newborn, in its pram, to school........Its easier for some........

I'm up for that Bendy ............ count me in and my old man is off work today he'll come ( he's rather menacing looking too ) lol

Hi we are all keeping our fingers crossed that you will have your little boy with by the end of the day. Good luck Liz

Please Bendy call me Debi lol I hear what your saying , but it would be my opinion that if it was seriously dangerous for her they really would have not let her go home..........perhaps they may of at first thought it to be so and then monitored her and babe ( which they would of been doing ) and perhaps all was not as bad as they first thought after the lengthy 4 hour period of waiting . Its still a disgrace and whilst I agree that hospital staff have on rare occassions GOT IT WRONG it is after all said on rare occassions. All that said Bendy me darlink if it were I ............ I'd not budge and demand, 'cos that's my nature. Others are not so forthcomming : ) Mucho happiness Debi

Craig How's thing's today --just to let you know I'm thinking of you both,you must be fed up especially Mum!!!

Noooooo..... I was so looking forward to a new arrival!! NHS drive me mental!!

rING YOUR LOCAL mp now- Good Luck Rose.

And there was I thinking about you and the family yesterday. I'm sorry you were not treated to well. In a day or so all this will be forgotten when you have your new baby to cuddle. Jo. X

Oh Craig I truly sympathise, you poor things. Bendy if he was to do that they may just let them wait 'cos he has put thier back up, until labour starts etc. I'd be inclined to trust "the professionals" even though they have given you conflicting advice - one min dangerous , next it's ok to go home etc. I'd wait till babe is born ( and so hope it's today for you Craig ) and then launch into a massive attack on the admisitration management ( if you have the time after babe is born lol ) and demand a full enquiry ass to WHY it was considered less dangerous to the health of mother and babe when they are short staffed?!?!?!?! Disgraceful!! Much happiness Debi

Calm down it's just a commercial! Get the hot water on. Lots of towels, get a curry down her throat. Out in no time! Enjoy.

OH DEAR bet your both peed off,will come down and kick a**e with you if you want. know what that bloody hospital is like. S**T Chin up Craig and Louise.BOYS WILL BE BOYS. Can be really lazy he don't want to come out in this cold weather,can't blame him can you. Well have you picked a name for him while you were both waiting. HOPE HE IS DELIVERED TODAY 16TH. LOVE SUE FROM OTLEY

Oh what a disappointment for you both. After the baby is born I would write a letter to the Chief Executive of the hospital conveying your lack of confidence in them. Chin up Craig.

Name the hospital Craig I will take my people up there tonight, joking apart I am sorry to ruin your surprise but I think you have a little girl she will be ready when she is ready there is no pushing women LOL. Good luck to the three of you Love Debs.

Craig Not much more I can add that hasn't already been said, but... try and stay calm. You're quite right in what you say... they need to make their mind up. But I have no doubt that if they really thought there was any danger, they would have transferred you to another unit. Fingers crossed they can take you tomorrow. Good luck Paul

Craig, I know how you feel, My son had to be induced. My waters broke on the morning of the petrol strike 4 years ago. The hospital said that they were short staffed so could not induce my contractions. However they would induce me within 24 hrs maximum, because of the risk of infection. They finally inuced me after 56 hours!! My son did have an infection and was put into special care because of it, Even though he was 9 and a 1/2 pound and was huge in comparison to the other babies! He was ok though, but we had to stay in hospial for 5 days. Hopefully it will happen by itself tonight anyway. Pat

Craig, I'm sorry you are being messed about like this, it sounds to me that it may be differences of opinion on the part of midwives/doctors. I hope baby soon makes the decision for them. Love to you and Lulu. June xx
