mum weds hours after giving birth

[redcrx]

OMG would you?? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles /news/news.html?in_article_id=407343&in_page_i d=1770

Why not, if it was a man he would be back at work after an aspirin and an hours snooze.

Not if the baby was 3 months premature, I would be there for the baby, I know it said that she said the docs said baby was ok but how can a 3 month premature baby be ok, anything could happen, I'd be at my babys side

[lilmonkey]

So they left their newborn, premature baby that is less than a day old and weighs less than 2lbs rather than mess up their plans?

I'm sure they'll be great parents.

RATTER ... we don't need a second wardminter, thank you! And even wardy has just shown that he has a lovely side in the thread "Is anyone happy on AB today? So don't you go all nasty on us, we are all tired of that kind of stuff! BE NICE you sill man!

[Carakeel]

sorry ... silly man, that was.

[redcrx]

Phew Im glad Im not the only one who thought they shouldve postponed the wedding instead of partying whilst theyre baby, prem or full term, was in hospital. At 3 months prem the babys lungs wouldnt have matured and that alone would mean a vigil by my babys side had it been me.

I think it's a bit unfair of people to critisis them unduly. Ok the baby is very premature but obviously the Drs told them that he was stable and unlikely to befall anything nasty and they went ahead. They are with their baby now and doubtless very excited as well as worried about him.I don't see that'll make them bad parents tbh and I hope they all have long and happy lives.

[redcrx]

certainly we all wish them long and happy lives Noxlomus but I really cant see how they could leave the baby for such a long time the day it was born.

[4getmenot]

I don�t think any doc would have said that about a 3 month old premature baby. I think the woman has said that in her story so people don�t criticize her. But I haven�t criticized her, I wasjust answering redcrx question and the majority of people wouldn�t be able to leave a newborn premature baby :-)

[4getmenot]

So as redcrx did ask, Would you nox?

[PinkFizz]

Well I can see why she would want to,but god she must have been shattered!! Don't think I would have enjoyed the day very much!

[Octavius]

Well at least they cancelled the honeymoon.

I would have postponed the whole thing personally (well not the giving birth bit obviously).

[loobie]

I wouldn't be able to leave my newborn baby (if I had one!!) for that long whether it was premature or full term. The thing I can't get over is that they went to the reception. If they had just gone to get married and returned straight back to the hospital then fair enough but the fact they went and partied the night away while their poor little son was wired up to machines is unbelieveable.
Think their priorities need to be adjusted slightly!!

[flubber]

octavius - I can't help but laugh at your reply because I thought the self same thing before I read down at all the answers.

[spk]

I personally couldnt leave my little one, I would have to cancel but good luck to them I hope it all goes well

its interesting to note that mum discharged herself from hospital ie which means against medical advice,

[4getmenot]

mornign crete, hope you ok today :-) So what would you have done?

[redcrx]

well i suppose if baby was being cared for elsewhere in hospital, and the mum was capable of dancing the eve away, then discharging herself saved the NHS some money at least crete :)

[crete]

morning, if you look at the picture of the baby in the incubator he is actually on a ventillator so that just shows how small and fragile this child is to leave a newborn baby to get married and attend a reception to me is very wrong and quite sad,

[Octavius]

Having read the article again I note that the mother-bride is both plucky and brave, so I would assume Daily Mail readers would approve. None of this wasting tax payers hospital beds malarky.

Although they were assured the 1lb or so baby was fine, it does seem to me to be rather insensitive, I am sure the wedding guests would have understood.
