Hi all,
I wanted to post to share the wonderful news that my little boy was born almost two weeks ago, on a Tuesday, at 29 weeks + 4!!! We went in for an induction and ended up having a C-section, and although it took us a little bit of time to get out of the hospital because he had jaundice, we are now home and my heart is finally full.
I always wished for multiple children, but honestly when I saw him, I realised that he would be enough, even if I can never manage to have any more my heart is full and I can rest finally without the anxiety that this fertility journey has plagued me with over the years.
I thought it was important to share this announcement as if you were to stumble upon any my previous posts, which discussed topics such as spotting and bleeding, you can see that there was light at the end of the tunnel in regards to such topics.
This experience has been very emotional and a tough journey, the consequence of that was that I didn’t believe that my baby would actually ever be here in this world, safe and real. I built up such a protective mechanism that prepared myself for failure, however thankfully I was proven wrong in this instance. He is here now, he is safe now. He is mine and I am his.. at long last my dream of being a mum has become true.
To all of you out there starting your journey or in the thick of your journey, days weeks months or years into it, no matter where you are I send you all the best wishes. I hope you get to where you want to be.
This group has been an absolutely wonderful support. Much more sensible than googling and getting freaked out. It turns out that many of my worries or complications were shared by other members of the group and I was able to receive good sound advice, reassurance and guidance that the Internet couldn’t offer and sometimes the doctors didn’t provide, I was able to take questions to the professionals which perhaps I would not have thought of had it not have been thanks to this group. Also, the emotional support and friendship has been so valuable.. one member and I have even taken our friendship into the real world and have become good pals, providing each other with a new sort of support after the arrival of our babies.
Anyway, this post is becoming a little long, but I just wanted to conclude my story by sharing my positive outcome. We are now in the throes of newborn life, I get no sleep, I’m exhausted, I don’t know what day it is, and I’m obsessed with the contents of nappies, but I’m loving every moment of it!
Good luck to everyone, wherever you are on your fertility journey, and thanks again for the support. Xxxxx
