Oh Beema, what a beautiful story. I am so glad that Anastasia hold on for 35 weeks, and I am so proud of you for going into this well-informed and determined. I have happy tears for you, for achieving your goal of breastfeeding despite the hurdles. You are so empowered and determined - well done.
I speak for myself but I am pretty sure for most of us it was a case of 'tears are the champagne of the soul'.:
I am sorry that our story made so many of you cry
PS - can't wait to see a new avvy with A in it! hint hint!
:hug: I hadn't hear that phrase before, it's beautiful :):
Oh yeah I will have to get back in to make a newbie or add to this one.......
What an amazing story. Even having seen now and then on BB the next drama you were facing, reading your birth story, with every little twist and turn of your journey so honestly and beautifully recorded really brings home just how much you went through.
I have so much respect for you, you coped with so much while at the same time making yourself so well informed to make sure you got the very best outcomes in a tough situation. Sounds like you had a great team supporting you too. So well done to you all and hoorah to such a fantastic end result!
Beema your story is just beautifully written and you really are an inspiration. You fought so long and hard to give your beautiful daughter the best start in life. Your an amazing lady. Congrats again on the birth of little Anastasia :clap:
WOW...
Your story is amazing!!! You held on for so long and went through so much and to hear it totally paid off bought tears to me eyes (in a good way!)
I am so glad I read this birth story... it is amazing!! :)
And she is gorgeous!!!!
Awesome story and arrival of your beautiful girl... have really enjoyed reading your blog
Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing beema. Absolutely amazing. Your little girl was definitely meant to be in this world. She's going to achieve great things. You are an awesome woman and your girls are so lucky to have you to watch over them. Thank you again for allowing me to share your journey. I still remember your first thread after you conceived. Well done xx
Thankyou all for your beautiful messages and for sharing our journey with us, I don't know where I would be without all the support I have had online :hug:
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful story honey! You brought tears to my eyes.
You have been through soooooo much and you did such an excellent and great job!!
Congratulations!!
xoxo
Awesome story! i loved the read of your journey thanks for sharing!
Thankyou lovely ladies :hug: xxoo
Finally got round to reading this.
What an awesome birth story - you did so well during the pregnancy, birth and with the feeding :clap:
Thanks so much hun :hug: :D
I've been meaning to read this story since you posted it, and have finally got around to it tonight!
And it was truly worth it - such an incredible, amazingly tough, supremely rewarding journey you all have had!
I am in awe of the strength you mustered throughout, and after, little Anastasia's arrival. Both your DD's are so fortunate to have such a mumma for their own :D
Thank you for sharing your story and for your support in my thread about losing my little twin. I can not imagine what it would be like to KNOW you were losing your baby, I just found out mine had stopped growing and that it is still inside me looking after my big twin.
You are so brave, Anastasia is such a beautiful name congratulations.
How beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing! So well written! One question, why did you get two shots of local in your tummy? Did I miss something? xx
Thankyou all for reading :)
Big :hug: duckyboo, thinking of you and your Big Twin and just kn ow that Little Twin will be your big twins protector xxoo
LilMissPositive ~ The two shots were for pain relief, I'd never heard of read of it before either, it was a very careful process because he had to get into a specific cavity to do the local using a US machine and I had to stop laughing :lol: because it was making my belly move. Wishing you all the best for your CS, it can be a positive experience, and while I didn't get everything I wanted to, I knew that it was likely I wouldn't due to Miss A being early, and having done it before I was able to deal with it xxoo
Lol. Oh.. Thought oh no not another needle I am not prepared for! Lmao! Thanks so much. All positive thoughts and reading such wonderfully written stories really help so thank you. xx
I just read your birth story and started crying when you dropped your girl off at day care and am still crying now beautifly written
LMP the good thing is I didn't even feel it because of the Spinal :)
Thankyou Aligater, it still tears me up thinking of that morning :)
Wow beema you are amazing and sp are both of your dd's
They must get the fight from their mum!!
Thank you so much for sharing it's an amazing story :)

Thankyou Z&A :hug:
I still remember back in those early days and then the announcement that firefly hadn't made it. I am so glad that you shared this experience with us and that Anastasia was able to hole on that little bit longer, that you were able to keep her in that little bit longer :) Just goes to show how much hidden strength some of us have. Congratulations on your second pink bundle :D
beautiful and inspiring story. I got teary when she latched on the first time. Good on you for standing ur ground with the midwives. Which size clothes did u end up using?? I had a look at the photos too shes an angel. All the best.
