what a lovely start to the morning!

[kristymac1]

This morning I was crossing Rodwell Road when a very pregnant lady looked 'uncomfortable' (to say the least), I asked if she was ok and then it was fairly obvious she'd gone into labour - I feel like I've been bear hugged! A lovely family on the corner of Rodwell/Crystal Palace road took us into their house, a couple of others phoned the ambulance (one was a GP thank goodness!) and I stayed with Bissy until the paramedics took her off to Kings (more bear hugs!) - by that time her contractions were only 2 minutes apart. She did so well, I'm sure she didn't plan to spend those intimate moments with a complete stranger in another stranger's house, but it did make me smile (especially when she was vowing never to have any more children!!) - when I spoke to her husband he was obviously in far more shock than she was.

Anyway, just wanted to share, I hope Bissy and KT now have a beautiful baby son (its amazing the conversations you can have inbetween 2min contractions...), and what a lovely community east dulwich is - no-one blinked an eye, eveyone just wanted to do all they could for Bissy and the baby.

Ah, what a nice story - hope she made it to hospital before baby arrived, sounds like it would have been a pretty close thing.

That is lovely and a great start to the day.

It's so nice that you were there to help. I'm sure Bissy will never forget you!
