Mother-in-Law 'Steals' New Mom's Birth Announcement While She's in the Hospital
While the woman was on bedrest, her mother-in-law swooped in, she writes in a Reddit post A woman is fuming after her mother-in-law announced her own child's birth while she was still in the hospital. In a post shared to Reddit, she writes that her birth was "rough" and that her child "had to be taken to the NICU due to her having a brain condition and then making sure she was stable." As she had high blood pressure, she was placed on bed rest and couldn't immediately go to the NICU to see the child. But her mother-in-law did go to the NICU, taking "multiple pictures and photos of her hooked up to the IVs and CPAP machine." The mother-in-law then "immediately posted and announced everything about my baby and how she's in the NICU and 'mama and baby are doing just fine.' " "It upset me greatly because before I even got the chance to see my baby, hold her, or make MY announcement she already told the whole world about it," she continues. The woman adds that her engagement went similarly, with her mother-in-law posting about it before she could tell her own family and friends: "It was a surprise and she recorded the entire thing. She immediately posted before I could tell anyone." "I got upset and she always says she just 'gets so excited' and 'can't wait to share.' I'm fed up," she adds.

Others on Reddit are offering their takes on the situation, with one writing that the mother-in-law needs to be put on a "social media diet." Others suggest the woman limit her interaction with her in-laws or force her to face consequences for sharing things on social media when she's specifically been asked not to.

Detroit mother reunites with EMTs who delivered her twin girls at home
On July 1, the Detroit Fire Department got an early morning call from a home on Culver Street for a woman in early labor. Only 32 weeks along with twins, Jessica Johnson was not prepared for what came next. "I said, 'Oh my God, are the kids coming out?'" Johnson said. "I was laying on the bed, and I just started pushing by myself." Johnson says she had only found out she was expecting two babies about a week earlier and had no idea she was having girls. "They didn't tell me nothing about it coming early like this and that, just saying that I was having twins. So, everything was a surprise," said Johnson. Minutes later, Detroit Fire Department emergency medical technicians Bacarri Stanley and Michael Bache pulled up to the Johnson home just as baby Jaliyah was coming into the world. "She was like, 'Yeah, I gotta push, I gotta push!' And we, me and my partner, looked at each other, like, 'What do you mean? Push," said Stanley. With little time to spare, both EMTs dove into action, delivering baby Janiyah as backup teams arrived. "By the time we looked up, the crowning of the baby was coming out, and looked up, the baby shot out in my partner's hands. So, it was great. It was a great experience," said Stanley. "We kind of just sat back, and we're like, what just happened? So, it was very thrilling, very exciting," said Bache. On Monday, Johnson got to see her heroes for the first time since that special day and couldn't wait to thank them. "Seeing them again, it brought back good memories, not bad memories, good memories, because they helped me through my delivery," said Johnson. Along with the special reunion, the paramedics came bearing gifts for Johnson and her family, with cribs, mattresses, diapers and other baby supplies, thanks to funds provided by the Detroit Public Safety Foundation. "When I say I'm speechless, I'm speechless, and I'm thankful," said Johnson. It's a memory Johnson says she can't wait to share with her little ones.

A decorated World War Two veteran who carried out covert missions behind enemy lines has celebrated his 100th birthday. Henry Charles Francis, known affectionately as 'H', served in both the Royal Navy and Royal Marines after joining up aged 16. At his birthday party, Mr Francis was presented with a personal letter from the First Sea Lord, General Sir Gwyn Jenkins, acknowledging his extraordinary service. His daughter, Teresa Betton, said: "What he gave for this country, all the friends that he lost… I'm so proud of him. He tells the stories, but not all of them.
