Hi, wanted to share my experince with all the other mums who have been in the same boat as myself.
I went in to labour at 23 weeks with bradley, they transfered me to hull, where that was the only nicu bed availbale for if the baby was born, they managed to stop the labour thank god, i wa so so scared, anyway all went well until at 30 weeks again i went in to labour, my cervix didnt dilate so had more drugs to stop the conractions,, wahoo again it worked!
Again went in to early labour at 32 weeks, bradley was in distress his heartbeat was poor after a contraction and he wouldnt recover as quick as they qwould liked him to, so down i went for an emaergency c section..
Bradley was born at 06.55am, 6th june 2005 weighing in at a massive 4lb 14oz ( big for 8 weeks early dread to think how big he would have been gone full term)
Anyway he was crying when he was born but soon went down hill, my baby was in diffuculty, he was taken to intensive care where his daddy followed but mark wasnt allowed to see him for 3 hours because they was working on him, he was intubated and exbutated 6 times before they finally got his ventalator to work,
well mark finally got to see him and took some pics to come to show me, they was so frightning he had tubes coming out every where, his belly button had a long line going through it, looked horrible, Bradley was 3 days old before i was finally allowed to see him, so amazing, instantly fell in love, like you do, well anyway when he was 6 days old his vent came off and he went on to cpap, he was only on it for half hour before they took that away from him as well, how amazing is that.. thats when i finally got to see his hair, omg how much did he have, no wonder i had bad heartburn lol..
Anyways when he was 4 weeks old after spending time in nicu then special care we was finally allowed to take our son home... these pics were taken 4 days before he left special care, i do have others from when he was really poorly but dont think i will share them as they are quite distressing...
thats my story.
