Mr OWG's sister finally gave birth on Saturday night!
She has been about 3cm dilated and having contractions all week, but they didn't deem it necessary for her to go to hospital.
Her waters broke on Saturday morning, and she gave birth to a little boy (about 8.5lbs) about 9.30pm, Saturday night
She had a pretty hard time of it, as the baby was facing the wrong way round (not breech, but something called "back to back" where the baby's face is up, not down) and it makes for a really painful labour. She tore a bit as well, but apparantly nothing serious.
What made me laugh lots was that SIL's boyfriend says that they're going to wait a bit before having another baby (SIL is 17!), as he "didn't realise how much it would hurt her"
We've not been to see them yet as she came out of hospital last night and they currently have a house full of family (boyfriends parents and siblings have come to stay). We'll probably go over at some point this week.
We're not as thrilled as we could be due to the circumstances of the pregnancy (17 year old SIL got pregnant on purpose without telling boyfriend etc) and the fact that OH doesn't get on with his parents/family etc.
Of course, we'll be there if she needs us, and have offered to buy half of the pram/pushchair thing they want (god, are those things expensive!!) but I doubt we'll see much of the baby, since we've only seen SIL 3 times in her whole pregnancy...
