My niece is Cork was due her third baby in, I think, early July. Last Saturday early morning, she drove herself to hospital as she had been bleeding since Thursday and started having pains. Scans showed baby was fine but they kept her in until yesterday (honestly, I’d say she was begging to go home, knowing her) but she had strict instructions to rest. However, her husband had to bring her in at 3am this morning and a little boy was born within the last hour or so. She got to hold him in her arms before they took him to NICU and hopefully he is ok. I think he is about 30 weeks or so. Her sister says she will phone me later, my brother was very upset when he phoned me and had little info although Sian had phoned him herself. Just a few vibes please - it’s hard enough having a premature baby but in these times it will be so much harder for them.
