UPDATE

[Simon]

Spent all of Saturday afternoon looking for a Pharmacy that was open. Finally got something a pregnant wife could take for constipation. Turned out that Alison was actually in labour! On April 16th @ 4:43am Joshua was born weighing in at 2lb’s 8z, at only 30wks+3. After a quick glimpse of him opening one eye and blowing some bubbles, he was taken to the special care unit. He’s a bit battered & bruised and his feet will need some physiotherapy, but he’s breathing for himself and he seems to be holding his own. In the last 8hrs I’ve seen him burp, cry, open his eyes, and hiccup. So I reckon he’ll make it.
Mum will have to spend a few more days in hospital after a stubborn Placenta called for a trip to theatre, but other than that additional experience that she really didn’t need, she’s pretty good.
I’m very very tired from just watching it all unfold around me and I’m very glad to be a bloke on this day. Ladies, I don’t know how you do it!
Goodnight & Regards,
Simon.

Congratulations, sounds like he is doing well!

A friend of mine had a baby at 25 weeks weighing 1lb 12oz, her waters also just broke! Her daughter is a healthy 2 year old now she is sligtly deaf and is short sighted but she is doing really well!
She was born a lot earlier than your little boy!

Hope everything goes well
