I feel totally helpless. I am chatting to my cousins on MSN chat in Canada I live in the UK and she is having a baby in 4 weeks, she has been to the Dr's this morning and has just had a phone call saying she is leaking amino fluid and has to get to the hospital, and she is panicking. I am trying to keep her calm, but all I want to do is get on a plane and be with her. I am having to tell her what to do from here, sort her 2 year out, ring her partner, parents etc. Bless she is panicking as she says she hasn't bought any nappies lol. Now she is saying she has no clean PJ'S. She just asked if they have web cam in hos so i can be with her.
This is the joy of the Internet. My family used to come over every year to visit, so didn't really get to know my cousins to good. First we started writing on e mail and then we got msn and web cam we now talk every day and I feel so close now to my Canadian family, I go over every other year now, and would love to be with her now. In a strange way i am with her now as she is in labour talking her through what she need s to be doing.
I started writing this about an hour ago and very strange thing happening But i have stomach cramps, can you really get sympathy pains across the miles????
RE: Sympathy pains
I dont know about across the miles but then energy is energy but I know my Dad experienced every labour pain when my mum had me and my mum is now experiencing stomach cramps every time I go through another 'session'.
Made me chuckle to read it though because I have been in and out of hospital with mine and it is a minefield with regards to the last minute preparations, tesco home delivery are making a fortune out of me my nesting seems to be fill the cupboards and then panic sorting undies so give your cousin my love, if she had been due it would prob have been the same!!!!!
Best wishes Sam x
RE: Sympathy pains
