Ladies, I’m a little late updating you all but have to keep pinching myself. After all the heartache and tears our precious little girl is here. It’s been a long journey and I appreciate not as long as some, but we we’re over the moon to have welcomed our little girl in June.
After all our heartache, it was a relatively easy pregnancy but mentally I keep telling myself I just need to get to the next stage and when I got to the next stage I’d say I just need to get to the next stage. We’d decided on having an elective C section which was planned for 30 weeks but at a routine midwife appointment during the last few weeks of pregnancy it was picked up that I had high blood pressure but I didn’t have any symptoms. I ended up going daily to The daily assessment unit to be monitored and had to have a growth scan where it was discovered that baby hadn’t grown much since the last scan and there was reduced fluid. Whilst they managed to bring my blood pressure down with medication it was still quite high and so they brought my C section forward by a week. We had a heart stopping moment when they were calling for assistance as she wasn’t breathing but the relief when we heard that first cry.
Anyway Emily is 14 weeks old tomorrow and our hearts couldn’t love her anymore than we do. She truly is our miracle.
I want to thank you all for your support during my time on here, even if I haven’t interacted with you your posts have been invaluable and a lifeline, knowing I wasn’t alone was a comfort in what you all know can be an isolating time. I wish all of you to have your miracle, don’t give up hope and I will be praying for you all 💕
