My niece was due to give birth to her first baby on 13th February 2013 and today she is in labour. Her waters broke at 1pm yesterday and she has been having contractions since before that. She lives around 25 miles from the hospital so yesterday evening she (along with her partner and mum) presented herself at my house as I am only about 5 miles from the hospital. The hospital had sent her away and told her to return once her contractions are a consistent 5 minutes apart or 24 hours after her waters have broken.
As a result of this turn of events I spent the evening timing contractions, taking temperature and trying the make the mummy to be as comfortable as possible. She is being really brave just breathing deeply with each painful contraction and making no fuss. I am very proud of her and can't wait to welcome my new great-niece into the world.
