Baby on the way

So when I came out of the jobcentre today, my wife was waiting in the car and she told me she had started contractions. She is now on a ward in the hospital. Thing is our baby wasnt due for another month so it has come as quite a shock. We had nothing ready so I had to race around getting things ready

It also happened when I was in the middle of a near breakdown about the news i got in the jobcentre 

The thing is, until she goes into the actual labour room I am not allowed in so i am at home now texting her not knowing when i will next see her. It could be an hour or it could be some time tomorrow when visiting hours start. The uncertainty is killing me as is the fact that I just want to be there with her holding her hand and not being able to be with her is breaking my heart

My parents have come over to help and to look after our little boy should I be called into the hospital. It is a huge comfort them being here, im not sure i would have coped without them. but they have never spent a night in our flat before so that is another change that im trying to process

There is a lot going on!

  • Hi guys, thank you for all the kind messages. It has given me a lot of strength. It has been a weird couple of days. The labour seems to have been some sort of false alarm. My wife had contractions till 1am and then they stopped and havnt restarted since. They kept her in for 13 hours and then sent her home so she is home with me now and the baby hasnt been born yet

    All very strange

    The baby is healthy though they said

    We are all safe and cosy at least 

    My head is having a bit of a crash now though

  • Aww sounds like the baby wasn't quite ready yet then. Probably just wanted to make a scene lol Yum

    I'm glad you are both ok. Make sure you get plenty of rest now. Lots of excitement and rush yesterday will have taken it out of you. Just remember you did amazing and should be very proud of yourself! X
