My water broke at 20 weeks , was taken
straight to hospital where they
checked my cervix , I had started to
dialate , Had blood tests done and
some internal swabbings , got moved to
a room and had more blood taken and
more examinations . I asked if I could
hear the baby and the heartbeat was
very strong . Lots of different
doctors and specialists came and went
over a four hour period . was given 3
options , Option 1 ; Stay in hospital
until I reached 31 weeks but may not
last that long and baby would have
severe learning difficulties ,
breathing problems and may even be to
week to survive . Option 2 ; go home
and and rest , your body may naturally
go into labour and come back when it
starts to happen .Option 3 ; Have the
pregnancy induced with drugs and
deliver baby that day . I sat and
talked it through with my partner and
phoned the family and asked them about
my options , They were a great help as
I felt I was letting everyone down and
making the wrong decisions , They all
assured me I had made the right
choice . I went for option 3 . I felt
that my baby had no hope and doctors
said it was highly unlikly that baby
would survive , they explained all the
things that can go wrong as the baby
is so underdeveloped . I made my
choice went through an agonising 3
hour labour , lots of bleeding and
extreme pain . At 04:27am 18th Jan
2010 my baby Girl Lily was born , I
held her for only a few minutes but
will remember that moment for the rest
of my life .
