My first Granddaughter was born yesterday. Hale and hearty.
The mother fared less well. Emergency c-section but the bleeding did not stop. Whisked off to intensive care, where they had a battle on their hands. Things looking better now but, in the words of the surgeon, we very nearly lost her.
Thank you NHS for fantastic care.
PS Soft as shit old man in tears!

When they're really needed they come up trumps.
Congrats on your first grandkid. She will change your life.

Thanks. She’s not my first, just first female!

Congratulations mate, hope the Mother is getting better.

Surgeon told me yesterday that mum was sitting up watching “The big bang theory” and may be discharged from intensive care tomorrow. All is going in right direction now.

That’s great news mate !

Hope you’re prepared to be wrapped around your granddaughters little finger all over again, history repeating itself no doubt :-).

Made up for you all and extremely glad to hear your daughter is on the mend. You're in for a lovely Christmas.. and then 18 expensive ones.

It never rains but it pours. Mum has now had a setback and will be kept in intensive care (No cause for serious concern). Dad is camped in the labour ward looking after the baby.
And their two other children?…….Mrs KS sets out today to live at their place and look after them probably for 5 days as their other grandma has to leave them and go back to work.
Weekend plans cancelled.

All the best mate. We forget child birth is still a dangerous process for mother and baby.

My Grandad’s mother died when giving birth and also, the baby girl she was having also died, although this was many years ago. But, as you say and thankfully, it happens rarely these days.

Congratulations!

The NHS is a blessing for us all.

You have to move to the US to truly appreciate the NHS.
Where you walk in to a clinic or hospital in the UK and the first thing on their minds is treating you, not asking to see if they take your medical insurance......

Congrats on the grandchild and hope your daughter makes a speedy recovery.

My dads mum and his twin sister died during childbirth. Miss MB has just qualified as a midwife and they had a mother die a couple of days ago in her unit due to complications. It does happen mate, but fortunately not often.

Been sent to casualty twice by my gp in the last three weeks , 8 hrs first time but needed a drip for an hour , 3 1/2 hrs second time as they thought it was really serious , cant complain , they were crazy busy. Iwas a trauma nurse in my time and it is difficult to juggle hundreds of patients in a day , wish public would be more understanding of it

Update: Mum now out of ICU. Baby has meningitis and sent to ICU, so mum and baby have hardly met. Surgeon optimistic for baby. Hey Ho!

Had floaters and bright lights appear in my left eye on Tuesday evening. Now what this means as I had it happen in my right eye 18 months ago.

I went straight to the opticians yesterday 11:40 morning for an emergency eye test. They than referred my notes to my doctor and hospital. Within 3 and a half hours I was in the hospital and by 7pm I had had lazor eye surgery.

What a fantastic service thank you NHS.

City’s laser blue Kappa jersey is a personal fave.

I don’t think I’ll ever appreciate how truly ill I was last year.

Although it is a black hole for money we are certainly blessed to have the NHS. It is, in my opinion, the greatest thing any government, anywhere, has ever done for its citizens and all the people working in it for a living wage deserves to be shown utmost respect.
