Prepare To Be Shocked, Reduced To Tears Yet Amazed & Inspired
In August 2009 I found out I was pregnant. Nine weeks into the pregnancy I had a bleed so I went for a early scan, I was sat in the waiting room sweating and anxious thinking I had lost my baby. After what felt like a life time I got called in for a scan [...]
April 19th 2009 – my due date. Not long after 4am I woke with my waters leaked on the bed. I woke up my husband to tell him, but told him to go back to sleep and I would call him if I needed him. (My first labour I had a lot of contractions at [...]
Have you ever wanted something so badly that its all you think about. Day and night. You go to sleep thinking about it. You wake up thinking about it. But it’s too emotional you can’t talk about it. That’s what it was like when we decided to try for a baby. I already had a [...]
After a bad first birth experience of having a emergency C-Section when they rushed my baby into NICU, I knew something was not right. You could hear what sounded like him ‘grunting’ in the either room. After being told that I couldn’t see him until I had been in recovery for at least 4 hours I was in such an emotional state but also [...]
Pre-term birth isn’t something you think you are going to have to deal with the first thing you think is that you’re going to fly through the pregnancy with a bit of morning sickness and have a healthy bouncing 6lb baby. But in my case it couldn’t be further from the truth, and this is [...]
I started my periods when I was 10, and they were always irregular. So much so that when I turned 13 (in 2002) my mum took me to the doctors and instead of investigating the reason behind it they put me on the pill to regulate them. In summer 2010 I went for my regular [...]
After suffering a miscarriage on the 14th of January 2010 at 7 weeks pregnant myself and my partner felt empty so we decided to try again. I bought some ovulation test from eBay which on the 27th of February they were a strong positive so needless to say we were at it like rabbits. On [...]
‘Let’s have a baby’ I declared one evening to my unsuspecting husband when I got home from work. And so we did. We started trying straight away and I fell pregnant the next month with our beautiful little boy. And so I had assumed that number two would be just as easy. Dalton was five [...]
Me and my other half had been together for 4 years, living together for 1 year. We where very happy together but there was something missing, we where just relaxing 1 day and my partner asked me if I wanted to have his baby, I was over the moon. I’ve always wanted children since I can remember [...]
I wrote the blog about my angel Josephine being stillborn at 33 weeks. Months after losing Josephine we discovered we were expecting again, times were hard, I felt I wasn’t bonding with my bump and really contemplated abortion if I’d found out we were having another girl, just my way of dealing with things I [...]
To make sense of this story I will first give you a little background on my previous labours. My first baby was born ten weeks early as I was very ill and underweight, I had gas and air, pethidine, an epidural and forceps were used. My son was in the special care baby unit for [...]
I was due the 22nd May, so my midwife came out the 23rd to see if she could give me a stretch and sweep, checked to see if my daughter was engaged and she was 1/5th engaged (my midwife did it as she could feel 4/5 of the head) so she was only just [...]
With just 16 days until my due date and I had already been wiping brown blood for 3 days but then it changed to bright red blood. I was getting constant back ache so I decided to go to hospital and get checked out. They told me it was my plug and that I [...]
When I found out I was pregnant i was so excited. I have always wanted to have children and after a year of being together we decided to start trying. Three months later we got the best news ever and although the situation at the time wasn’t great at the time, we were pleased. [...]
My Baby Had Poo In His Lungs – An Unexpected Birth Story I was 32+6 weeks pregnant expecting my second little boy, everything was going perfect accept the normal aches and pains. That day I had a walk into town with my little boy, I started to get pains but thought nothing of it and [...]
Frightened Of Having Another C-Section After Traumatic Birth I fell pregnant with my son at the age of 19, I wasn’t prepared and wasn’t sure if being pregnant was what I wanted. I was in a long term relationship with my partner *Liam so I wasn’t alone. I will be honest in saying that up [...]
I had my 1st son in March 2007 and after 36 hours of labour and getting to 9 and a half CMs I was told I needed an emergency section as my son had shoulder dystocia and if I was to try and push him out I would dislocate his shoulders. All the different emotions [...]
My Cervix Would Not Open -My Cervix Would Not Open I will never forget the day I went into labour. A gorgeous Saturday had arrived. I was (according to the scan) a week late but to me it was my original due date. I had a sweep a few days before but she hadn’t been [...]
