PREMATURE BABY and HYPEREMESIS GRAVIDARUM

As well as working with both new and former families, my own has continued to grow.

After a night mare pregnancy constantly feeling and being sick from week three, then needing regular IV fluid drips because of Hyperemesis Gravidarum, one of my daughters went through a 5 day labour, which was 7 weeks early and produced a lovely little girl.

She was delivered by c-section and had to be pushed back up the birth canal to get her out, as her nose and eyes were poking out, having a good look around and she was thrashing from side to side. Nosey little thing! All ended up well though.

Her poor little face was bruised all down the left hand side and she was in Intensive care for a week or two.
Then Special care till she was allowed home.

Horrid for both mum and dad, not to have their baby with them; but mum was so stoic with dad's support.

Now she is 4 months old and a smiling, bright little button.
