... that my mum and three of her friends are all becoming grandparents for the first time, almost at the same time. You can imagine what the conversations must sound like when they are having a cup of coffee together.
Anyway, one of them became a grandmother yesterday. It happened in a pretty funny way, which is why I'm writing it down.
The doctors were a bit worried, earlier in the pregnancy, because the baby was not putting on weight. They told the mother to relax, stop working, not stressing and so on. So she's been taking it cool for a few weeks.
The baby was supposed to come in a months time, but yesterday the water broke and they had to go in to hospital. No contractions though, but the doctors decided that they should stay in the hospital.
After a while the mother feels like she needs to go to the bathroom. She does, and when she's sitting on the toilet, she can see that the baby is on it's way out. She, of course, runs back to the hospital bed, and just a little bit later the baby is born.
According to my mum, she basically had no pain. And the reason, I guess, is that the baby was only 1,6 kilos! Can you believe that?! That is just crazy!
I was born five weeks prematurely, but I was 2,1 kilos. This baby was just 1,6! But the baby is healthy because he had basically finished developing. It was just the weight that he hadn't put on. He must be so tiny!
Sounds lovely to give birth with no pain, but I think I still prefer for my daughter to stay in there for a bit longer, and put on a bit more weight before she decides to come out.
Well, one done, three left to go... In my mums gang that is.
