    DD was born 8 pm ish and we rang the 2 sets of grandparents within an hour. We
    said they could let our siblings know if they wanted. Everyone else waited till next day.
    DS was born 1am and again we called 2 sets of grandparents soon after. I was 41 weeks pregnant and had a traumatic first birth and was having a homebirth, which my mum was anxious about. So we wanted to let them know everything had gone ok. Friends waited till next morning.
    First time, I knew visitor hours were closed so I had till the morning before anyone could come in.
