Hi girls - midwife came back out to see me today to recheck my bp. It was still high so she sent me to the day unit for further tests. Had a trace done and bp checked every 15 mins for an hour. Was still high so they have booked me to be induced on Sunday morning at 07:30 - guess I'll miss the Hollyoaks omnibus then!!!! really dont want to be induced but if its the safest option then thats fine. Have to keep an eye out for pre-eclampsia symptoms until then.
Induction booked!!

great!! 
Evenin' all,
Just thought I'd drop in to let you all know that the beautiful jendon went into labour last night at about 6pm. We went to the hospital at about 8:30pm and she gave birth to Charlie at 02:12.
I'll spare you the full details - it's up to jendon whether or not she wishes to share them with you all - but she's still in hospital at the moment as her BP is higher than it should be and she's got a raging temperature (I'm not surprised though - it's flaming roasting on that ward I tell you!!!).
I'm sure she'll be along to post once she's home and settled but I thought I'd let you know that all is well until then.
Best regards
andon
P.S. Thanks Redshoes - I reckon it was your labour dust that helped her along!

Wow - that's great - congratulations, Jendon!!! 
So she went into labour naturally hereself on Saturday night, that's good.
I can't wait to see a photo of baby Charlie. Does anyone know if Charlie is a boy or a girl?
I'm so glad that she's had the baby and, hopefully, she'll be well again soon.
Get well soon, Jendon!

Aww, thanks for letting us know, andon. That's a good weight! Are you the new daddy then? Congratulations!!!
I feel a bit sorry for the poor dads when the baby is born and they have to go home. It's such a huge thing that's happened - your baby being born - yet you're sent away home on your own with no-one to talk to about the most incredible thing that's happened to you. If you can, andon, try and talk to someone about how you experienced the birth. It's important for dads to "de-brief" too. Better still - as I always advise the mums to do - write things down, if you can (a lot of people aren't much interested in writing though). It's a nice keepsake for the baby.
In fact, I would recommend that you collect a few things to keep as keepsakes for baby Charlie. For example, get a few different newspapers from the day he was born, a "celeb" style magazine and the CD single that's at number 1 this week (and the album if you can afford it). Put things like that in a box with his hospital tags, his cord clamp, then later the first thing he wore, his first shoes etc. to give him when he's older.
I imagined keeping my children's things till they were teenagers, perhaps 18 and letting them see them, but they're only in primary school now and my daughter's class (she's eight) are doing a project on how they've grown. The teacher has asked them to take in photos/keepsakes from when they were babies. I looked out her first cardigan, shoes, and a little knitted teddy her gran made her. She was delighted that I'd kept these things and is amazed that she was ever small enough to fit the cardigan or shoes.
Oh and I hope that you've given mum a special present for all her hard work in bringing Charlie into the world! New mums should feel special and pampered!
