Thank fuck.
Baby born at 01:09 am . 8 pound 11. Boy.
Born at home as for the first time in 14 years our local hospital had its maternity wards closed. We were offered to drive ourselves to an alternative hospital (not a chance - no time) or have an ambulance take us 100 miles to kent.
"Fuck that" she cried and they sent a community midwife.
She had also hired a doula so that was good for me as I know fuck all about delivering babies.
On a side note... after asking the midwife a number of times why the maternity wards were closed, she didn't really answer the exact reason but said all midwives had been instructed to keep quiet as they don't want it in the papers before the election. What the fuck.
Time for a snooze.
