2.40 am this morning my son rang to say his partner was in labour and contractions were fairly strong and a few minutes apart, just woken them shortly before. I said I would get dressed and be there shortly to look after my other grandson (I live a few minutes away), he then rang ambulance, hospital abt same distance away. 2.45 he sent a text to say waters had broken, I said I was dressed and on my way down the stairs. When I arrived ambulance(car) was there proper ambulance abt 2 mins behind me. Front door was slightly ajar went in and there was my sons girlfriend with my new grandson in her arms, my son had delivered him as he arrived whilst he was ringing for the ambulance and they had arrived 30 secs before me. The paramedic cut the cord a few minutes later. Baby, mum and dad have now gone to hospital for all checkups and they will just observe everything ok for 24 hours. Still in shock it was just so sudden, really proud of my son keeping so calm and delivering his son.
