Birth story with a twist!!!
Read til the end... theres a twist...
So I haven’t yet shared my birth story.. my daughter is 7 months old tomorrow..
so @ about 27 weeks my blood pressure started to rise..
I was in and out of hospital while they kept stabilising it, it always went back down in the end.
@ 34 weeks ish my daughter stopped moving as much, i went into maternity assessment unit and went on the heart rate monitor, everything was fine, I went home, same thing happened again and again. Eventually I hadn’t felt movement for 4 days so they kept me in, i was on and off the monitor every few hours, then one night babies heart rate started dipping. They kept saying it was the monitor picking up my own heart rate. So many doctors came to see and they had the same conclusion.. I was frustrated, I wanted her out.. I was 35+6, I had already had steroid injections.. the next day this kept happening and FINALLY that night a doctor with a brain cell said “Your baby is not happy, we are getting her out tonight” so 10-15 minutes later my beautiful daughter was born @ 00:56 on 12th January 2018 by emergency C-Section at exactly 36 weeks weighing 6lb 10oz...
The twist....?
This EXACT SAME thing happened to me two years ago with my son, he was born @ 35+4 by emergency c-section (for the exact same reasons) and weighed 4lb 10oz!! Sooooo almost the exact same birth story TWICE!!
Here are my kids:
