This is one for the record book, this week I had one bride cancel her wedding, to be rescheduled, as she is in hospital and has just welcomed the arrival of her little baby. And today another of my brides is heavily pregnant at 37 weeks. While she was reading her vows she she began to whisper, she stalled, tried to speak and stopped once more, began breathing heavily, tried to speak, stopped, she had beads of sweat on her forehead, held her bulging belly, breathing heavily but she was determined to finish her vows. I assisted her to the nearest chair which she promptly and grateful sat upon. We were all convinced she was having her baby in the middle of the ceremony, but it turns out the baby wanted to be part of the days wedding celebrations and was kicking ferociously. Such a relief I didn’t have to perform midwife duties.
