Hi everyone, wanted to share my story with you all.
My pregnancy has been pretty complicated, had SPD and pre-eclampsia, monday the 26th march i got taken into hospital with high blood pressure and protein in my urine, they sent bloods and urine off and results came back protein level was 34, which isnt too bad, anything over 30 they class as high so wasnt too high really, they kept me in over night to repeat tests and do a growth scan on tuesday.
On the tuesday my protein results went up to 179, blood pressure was 145/93, growth scan showed baby was doing ok and they estimated him to weigh 3lb 12oz, they gave me the first course of steroid injections for his lungs and i was due the 2nd dose 24 hours later, later on tuesday evening i was unwell, being sick, blurred vision and a bad headache so they took me to delivery suite to monitor me and baby, baby was doing ok.
Wednesday morning i was put back on the ward, everything was going ok, put me on a trace to monitor baby and withing 20 mins i started contracting, they came on so fast, they were showing on the trace at over 150 and was coming every 4 minutes so back to delivery suite, baby's heart rate kept dropping but picked up really quick, they discussed delivery and decided they would put me on a drip to try and stop contractions and said they would deliver if my cervix changed or baby got distressed, after a hour contractions were now coming every 2 minutes, at 12.07pm babys heart rate dropped and took 3 minutes to recover so decision was made to deliver.
I was rushed straight to theatre and prepped for delivery.
Baby jai was born at 12.58pm 9 weeks early weighing 3lb 6oz, he was crying when he was born
he was put on a cpap machine and moved straight to nicu.
I went to see him later that evening and hes gorgeous.
Hes now 5 days old and doing really well, tolerating his milk like a good boy.
He gets weighed again today so will see how hes doing.
Heres a pic of him taken at 2 days old. Thank you for reading my story xxx
