OMG - your stepdaughter wants to come??? what is it with birth as a spectator sport?! It's long, gruesome, probably a bit boring in places and v v personal! I'm strictly only showing my bits to people who have seen them before (DH) and trained medical professionals. Everyone else can wait at home like in the old days!!! Glad someone say sense and told her! Assuming our families are in the UK when it happens, DH can send a text saying "it's started" and one confirming the birth and that's it!!!
