Hi all just thought id share my story with you all,i started bleeding 14 weeks into my pregnancy and the doctors couldnt find out where it was comming from,at 24 weeks my waters broke and i was rushed into hospital but there was no beds available so was transferred to another city,luckily i didnt go into labour and was given steroid injections to help lung development,after being in hospital for a week i was discharged and advised to go to day assesment 3 times a week,at 29+6 days i went into labour and after a very short labour with no pain relief,i gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who weighed 2lb 11 oz she came out crying and was doing really well,she was rushed to intensive care and rapidly went down hill from there,luckily within 24 hours she was off oxygen and all ventilation,she went from strenght to strenght from there and i brought her home after 6 weeks weighting a tiny 4lb 10 oz,two weeks on she is doing brilliant,most off all have faith and i,ll be thinking of you all.
