The baby is due the first week in september caz, so she thinks shes about 9 weeks early days yet they dont do scans here till youre about 20 weeks so im led to believe later than when i had mine.

Sharm I became a Nanny at 35, like you i was a bit shocked but all you can to is support your son/daughter through this, show them you care and are looking forward to the bundle of joy coming into your lives.

My Grandaughter is now 1, I was with my Daughter when she found out she was preganant, went to the scans with her and saw her give birth, it is very scarey I know as your child hasnt really had much of a life but when I see my girl with her baby I dont feel sad anymore as having Trinity has made my daughter into a responsible young woman who said to me not long ago that she cant imagine life without her. I still want my daughter and her boyfriend to be able to go out once in a while and have fun so me and her other Nan take it in turns to babysit.

The plus side to all this is you have more energy to run round after them and really enjoy your time with them.

Congratualtions enjoy every minute of it xxxxxx

The deleted post was nothing nasty. I just had second thoughts about appearing on a female thread,
My very best wishes.

Happy days
