He's here
Well ladies, I am now a Mummy. It all came as a bit of a surprise....have been feeling terrible for a couple of days and been to the Maternity Assessment Centre and my GP and they decided that I had the symptoms of pre-eclampsia. It was such a shock and I spent 24 hours being monitored and jabbed full of drugs to help our little man. He was delivered on the 28th weighing 3lbs 1oz....I was lucky to have been able to have a spinal tap so was awake for the whole procedure. I am now relaxing at home....out little man is in the SCBU and doing really well. I hope that everyone else is doing well...if you feel unwell, please go to your GP and get checked out. It might just save your life...it saved me. Claire

I hope ur little man continues 2 get stronger an can't wait for an update on how he's doing, oh an has the little fella got a name? Thinking of u all x x
I'm due in June, thankyou for the advice xxxx
Take care, and congratulations
Thanks ladies, just a relief that everyone is doing well.
I am not so sure I have ever seen so many doctors in my life. I was looked after so well and I was so releaved that I could be awake for the delivery. It was touch and go as my platelet levels were really low. Would have ended up having a general anaesthetic.
I am doing well, although it is strange being apart from our little man, especially today. But he is doing so well and I am so grateful that we have been so well looked after.
Sending everyone much love....looking forward to May when he should be able to come home. x x x
Thanks Lorraine,
We are both doing well. I am only getting my blood pressure checked once a week! My scar is healing nicely and I am more mobile than I was!
Our little man is doing well too, he is putting on weight and is still not on any medication. We just want to get him home!
How are you and the twins?
Sending you love and best wishes and also hoping your little fella will be home with you soon x x
Thanks ladies...just to update you all on our progress.
We are all home now...settling into our little family routine?
How is everyone else doing? MrsB? Lorraine? Snadybaby? Sid89?
Anyways hope your litle 1 keeps getting stronger everyday and I'll let you know if there's any sign of the twins x x
Sid89 - how are you doing? We never got to do the tour...but saying that I only saw the high dependency room!
In terms of our little man, he is doing really well. We went to the Bliss support group on friday which was great, met some really fabulous other mums.
He has had his first set of immunisations too - very proud of him!
Lorraine - one of my friends has just found out she is expecting twins!
