Pezo Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 So my first child was supposed to be born on Wednesday and isn't here yet. My intention is to attend the game tomorrow unless she starts to go into labor. If she goes into labor tonight then the baby might be born before, is it OK to go to football in this scenario? Obviously can't go if she is in labor (apparently). What would you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderJar Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 You'll never get back to America in time, I just hope, for your sake, that she goes into labour. Good luck, but just remember, she's right and you're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 A big elastic band to keep her legs together should see you safely through to the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Fine to go to the game, your wetting the baby’s head. The mother in law will look after her (and the bonus is the MIL will never speak to you again. ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 My wife gave birth early on a Saturday morning 12 years ago . I went to football on the afternoon and we beat Yeovil 2-0 . Best day of my life. And having the child was alright as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redandwhitescarf Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Birth of your 1st child is unique. If you go to the game make sure you have your getaway planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very very important that mother and child ‘bond’ in the first hours after birth....... You sticking around would jeopardize that, best you leave them to it. On the other hand if your child has not been born before you head off to the game......then go anyway. Turn your phone off and, with a bit of luck, you will be in the Dolman so if there are any announcements over the tannoy asking you to go and find the nearest steward you won’t hear it anyway!

Northern Red Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Remember being at a game at AG years ago, before the days of everyone owning a mobile phone, when the tannoy announced "Would xxxxx please return home immediately, your wife has gone into labour ". Cue much cheering from the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 The City match will be live on Radio Bristol, the goal highlights will be available within a few minutes of the game finishing and a detailed match report will be available from a number of sources. On OTIB we’ll be rating, for days to come, the performances of everyone involved. Unless you’ve made equivalent arrangements with the media, you’re best to stay with your wife and newborn child. If you have made broadcast arrangements please send us the link so that we can assess the performance of the midwife. (Good luck to the three of you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floralrobin Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I was born just after 3pm on a Saturday in 1974 Bristol City 2 Southampton 0. Always proud that my dad was at the game that day and rang from a phone box at half time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xspence Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 It’s a once in a lifetime experience I’m afraid and one of those things you cannot take any chances you might miss..... i mean we could make the premier league!!

Dollymarie Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Unless she’s actively in labour, go to the game. First babies generally take ages to arrive, and so should she go into labour, you’ll have plenty of time to get to her, should you need to leave.

Snufflelufagus Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 First ones are generally late. I'm still amazed how they work out the due date. But you have 1 job to do really and that is to get her to the hospital. So make sure she is waiting in the car outside the ground just in case....

Rudolf Hucker Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 My youngest was born on 26th August 1996. The following night we had a Tuesday night match at home v Luton. I did the right thing and visited the BMH , taking my eldest son to see his mum and for the first time his newborn brother. Thus I missed the debut of Greg Goodridge. I missed him scoring twice. I missed further goals from Goater, Nugent and a bloke named Cundy (whom I can’t at all remember). I missed a 5-0 home win. 22 years later, I’m nearly over it.

Silvio Dante Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 When my daughter was born, we were home to QPR. Wife went in labour early Saturday am so knew couldn’t make the game. In the hospital, things started getting a bit fraught about 3pm. Losing babies heartbeat etc. Major worry. After an emergency call, they scrubbed up and we had an emergency c-section at about half four. Wife gave birth to a tiny (4lb) baby. As the doctor placed her on the wife’s chest he leaned over to me and whispered (1-1...Dele Adebola). God bless the NHS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Ok, pay the same amount to tell the mrs that you’ve done something slightly naughty (your choice what) and need time out from the hospital of 3-4 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BcfcDuncs Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 My daughter was born on Tuesday, and now I get two weeks maternity so will get at least to witness the end of season, all be it on streams etc, but so glad as I do shift work and would of been in for Saturdays game. But I love the city but wouldn't miss that experience for a football match, enjoy it, one of best experiences ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
