Big Stan Hibbert Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Mrs Hibbert 39 wks pregnant, I'm wondering whether I should go tomorrow. She's a bit worried it might all happen whilst I'm at football. Advice wanted please... (for my sins I'm over Kingswood way so would take a bit of time getting back and this is the second so it could all happen pretty quickly).

Dollymarie Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I say go. Kingswood is only 20 mins away, and she can ring you. The baby won't come THAT quick. Plus when you're sleep deprived in a couple of weeks you might not have the energy to go, so you should go now while you can. (please don't kill me Mrs Hibbert!)

Nibor Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Better yet, to allay her concerns, bring her with you. Ashton Gate is closer to the maternity hospital than Kingswood. And if you sit in the Dolman and can't get out of the stand in time at least you'll have a child that's truly able to claim to have been a City fan at birth.

Also , women gestate for much longer than they used to so 39 weeks is nothing....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stan Hibbert Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hmmm thinking I should take Dolly's advice at the mo... for purely selfish reasons of course. I'd like nothing more than to bring Mrs Hibbert with me but alas, as some of you may know, she suffers from a terrible hereditary affliction which makes her lean towards the blue side of town. (I did of course count her fingers before we were wed). I'm pretty sure I could get back in time should things kick off.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hooray for epidurals. Enabled me and the missis to listen to City v (then Premier League) Middlesboro in 2003. My youngest arrived 20 minutes after the final whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffleflap Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I went to see the play off final against hull and my missus was due anytime. She ended up having our son a week later. Its a nothing game so i would stay at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 If she is almost due then she probably won't be drinking. Get her to drop you at the pub then wait outside in the car during the game. That way if her waters. Break then she is ready, behind the wheel, to shoot straight up to st michaels once you get out of football. SORTED! Actualy, just thought, you might have to miss some the 2nd half. Best turn your mobile off until the final whistle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Miggins Pie Shop Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hey, It's only your second - you can go today, to Barnsley and even to Millwall, and still be waiting! Just take your mobile with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 My little skin and blister was at the Blackpool home match two years ago the day before she dropped, which was three weeks early.....I say go! The other way to look at it is this? How long would it take you to get from work to home in the middle of a working day? If it's longer than it would take to get from the Gate to home, then are you considering not going to work? If not, then I don't see why you should not go to the game!

citybabe Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Go. Shell be in contractions for hours anyways She might not be - Voice of Experience here - Had both mine in less than 4 hours however I was bang on time with one and 10 days late with the other one not a week early Go to the game Stan, unless she says she has backache and feels a bit odd or is having contractions!

Scrumpty Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 You're about to be subjected to one of most sensational feelings you'll ever experience.... So get down the Gate and soak it all up.

GrahamC Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 My dad was called out of a reserve match when I was born. How times change. Quality.

Abraham Romanovich Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 No one seems to addressed the feelings of Mrs H in this matter.

Nogbad the Bad Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Take her to the football. Imagine your child being born on the centre spot!! Or a last minute penalty to Doncaster and she waddles on swiftly to give birth on the penalty spot. That should put the penalty taker off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strange this waiting game, knowing that something so life changing is imminent but not knowing exactly when. Still feels odd even though its our second. By the way, thanks for all the suggestions around taking Mrs Hibbert to the Gate. I did put it to her... and copped a loada verbal and a black eye for my trouble.

Big Stan Hibbert Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 You mentioned your wife 'leans to the blue side' - what measures are you taking to ensure your children grow up 100% Red? Well, for the 2 yr old girl.... Teddy bear called "David James" Toy robin - named "Pitman" Shouts "City Goal" whenever she sees the City badge I think the Mrs has reluctantly accepted that the kids will start out as City supporters, hopefully thats the way it stays. I think she has her eye on Saturdays free to spend with the girls and go shopping, "do lunch" or go to watch the other lot. It's surely every Dad's dream to take his kids to football and have them support the team he does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 It's surely every Dad's dream to take his kids to football and have them support the team he does? Bloody right! It's expensive in the long run mind..................... First game I took my eldest to we lost 1-0 at home to Chester. Bizarrely enough, it got him hooked, now my Barclay Football card pays for it all. Zero % credit, love it, I'll have paid for the 2008/9 season tickets soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
