Sorry Lettie
but that was also me 14 years ago this xmas. Went into labour in midnight mass and went home and managed till about 4am, rang hospital and although my contractions were not that regular they advised me to go in as it was a prem labour. Funny thing was making my then husband stop as we went up shadsworth road so I could get out of the car and crawl on all 4's to get through a really bad contraction!! He was finally born at 9.26am so was back up on the ward in time for xmas lunch!
The happy ending was that he required no special care (6weeks early) as I had already been in prem labour (at 26 weeks which they managed to stop and was given medication to build babies lungs up) and he was a healthy 6lb 2oz but covered in jet black hair all over (lanugo)... aww bless.
SO ON BEHALF OF ALL MOTHERS WHO HAVE GIVEN BIRTH ON XMAS DAY....
THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT SUCH A SPECIAL DAY. My mum and husband were even provided with xmas lunch in the staff canteen with a beer and a glass of wine!!!!
