... Obviously the hospital stuff is
crucial when things go wrong and we're lucky to have all that too -
wouldn't want to be without it.

Two of our grandchildren were born very quickly at home after daughter in
law had been booked into hospital - she had very quick and easy births. One
was during a violent snow storm when the ambulance couldn't get to her, the
other was when she was already in Stage 2 when the ambulance arrived.

On both occasions it was insisted that she went to hospital - after the
process was complete - and stay for a couple of hours.

Of course it was an unnecessary interruption of the first hours with the
babies and a waste of NHS money and services, we all thought, but their
records had to be straight, it seemed.
