Here I was January 1996 a 6month old daughter and I have just found out I'm pregnante again. i didnt feel they joy that I did the first time round, no sqeeling with delight no dying to tell someone, none of that. I felt scared, alone even though I wasnt. needless to say it didnt take long for all those feelings to go. in fact as time went by a my bump grew ever more, I felt relaxed and at ease. This time I knew what to expect after all its been less than a year since I went through it.
I went for my first scan feeling good about things, that didnt last long no matter how much they reassured me something was wrong there was a small shadow/blob which shouldnt be there, a fibriod. I was booked in for another scan when I was 18 weeks. back at home and as time went by I felt better everything felt ok I didnt feel any different and after all they did say it would cause any problems. My next scan date arrived nothing could be found must have been a mistake, all is well " Go home and carry on as normal"
All was fine over the next few week apart from the fact that very quickly I began to gain weight and look like a house. I was 28 weeks when I first went into labour yes I was a mess everything that everyone thinks went through my mind. Thankfully they managed to stop it and I was started on steroid injections as it was unlikely I was going to go full term. Resting all day was not an issue I had another child at home, but I knew I had to so I rested as much I as could and refused to think negative. I got child care put in place ready for when the day arrived I asked my midwife lots of questions not matter how silly they may have sounded. Stocked the freezer full of stuff for my husband and decided my daughter would move in with my sister so to keep her routine as normal as possible.
3o weeks and another scan all looked fine apart form the fact that I had a tiny foot wedged under my rib cage which was uncomfortable but everything else looked fine. 31 weeks pegnant its 630 am I have just had a bath and am now clutching the stair gate into the kitchen, i'm in labour. My husbamd calls the midwife and my sister within 15 mins Im dressed drinking a cup of tea with my midwife, husband and sister flapping around me I remain calm. The midwife calls the hospital makes sure there is a incubator free thankfully there is and we are on our way to hospital.
I am still remaining posotive thats what gets me through this I dont do negative. Upon arriving at the hospital the contractions are fast and close I cant get out the car my husband panics o I send him into get a nurse. 2 nurses come out with a wheelchir and within second I mout of the car and on way to a delivery room. im checkecd out no going back 9cm dialated baby is one its way. Im asked if a young man could be in the room whilst I deliver as he is training to be a midwife I have no problems, a dr comes out with an portable incubator and expalins that he/she will taken to special care straight away, Still I am calm. I will miss out some bits here but delivery was quick no pain relief at all just breathing technics. Our beatuifull daughter is born at 10.10 am she is rushed straight into specail care, I m checked out I feel great until |I was told i neede to go to theatre retained placenta which is normal in prem births. I come round after theatre to a photo of our daughter she's doing well......................
all I can say is try and remain positive easier said then done i know but thats what got me through and still does

Summary: stay positive
