I was invited from the day my daughter knew she and her husband were expecting. It was very emotional to see my first grand baby being born.I was actually helpful and picked up when it seemed to be a little overwhelming for the father.Gosh he was SO nervous. I assisted when the Epidural was given. Mom and Dad hate needles. I'm just fine with them. Seeing my grandson being born ,I'm still amazed today almost 18 yrs later. I admit I acted all cool and collected,after all someone had to be there to keep it calm. Inside I cried,I shed tears in the bathroom too. I cried over lunch ( I stepped out to give the parents alone time too). Funny the waitress name was the same than my daughter. 5:12 pm April 3rd. I lived over 2000 miles away but the drive seemed more like 1000 I drove so fast. On the way back home my grandson' s photo stuck on my visor. How I missed him.
As a future grandmother, my tradition had thought me the importance of women during labor.MY grandmother was there for me and her mother was there for her etc...Yet, this is a generation that put importance on partner during labor.I am happy to just do that.The question that is challenging me is how to pass on the amazing tradition that clued family together at moments of life cycles...I hope some how during the process of becoming a mama for my daughter she will remember how she was tenderly mothers by me and my mother.This is by far amazing miracle to witness the next generation...I am deeply grateful...thank you Penny Simkin for honoring grand mamas...
I’m a first time grandmother to my daughter that’s 22yrs old. I’m so proud and excited. This is our first baby for our family and we’re all over the place. I’m at her beckoning call. That you for the video because my mother was there for me and three children who is now deceased. So this is the next generation 2021-2mos due date 07/10/2021
I'm supposed to be my daughters support partner during her csection , and im scared , have anxiety disorder , get very emotional , and have social anxiety ! What will they have me do during and after surgery ? Do I go with baby , or with daughter to recovery room ? Will I be more harm or good for her , there is no one else to do it !
