If you live close don't be afraid to call and see if she needs a meal or just some time to sleep. I think with my first it was nice to have time with just my husband, me, and our little one. But, it is very exhausting also so time to rest is always a good thing. Good luck and Congrats! </p> http://www.babyquestions101.com/forum/topic/116#post-211 Mon, 09 Apr 2007 18:01:25 +0000 sonjarenda 211@http://www.babyquestions101.com/forum/ <p>How helpful can a new grandmother be? Some families share housing and others live a continent apart, and some grandparents feel isolated and others close to their families. There are new styles of communicating(blogs), strollers and papooses, medicines, playgroups, information availability that didn't exist 50 years ago, and that is a good thing. Others aspects don't change at all. It is good to have a place to share. Does my daughter want us to be with her during delivery? Does she want us to stay with her and help in any way possible? Which would she prefer: housecleaning, food prep., laudry, errands, baby care at difficult times? These are questions this grandmother has in the 6th month of my daughter's pregnacy. </p>
