Thanks

i have been following you threads and honey - i hear you! I was so scared of having another premmie, but knew that if i did- that i could do it!

but you know what- things can go right - and they will this time!!!!

I had my twins 6 years ago 10 weeks early- 10% and 20% chance of survival! I dont have to bore you with all the details- you have probably lived them!.

7 weeks ago i gave birth to a beautiful boy at 37 weeks 5 day! Full term!!!!!! It was the most amazing birth i could have possibly imagined and i even got to pick my baby up after he was born and hold him in my arms as long as i wanted! It was such a healing birth and time for both of us.

We both got so emotionial when we were allowed to go home all together. We savoured having him in our room with us. All the things that most people take for granted, we were so grateful for!
We almost feel lost without any medical intervention if that makes sense!

Hang in there hon- take it easy and enjoy each moment, each day that passes. Miracles happen and will!
if you want to speak more- just holla.

I know that my experience is nothing like yours but I just thought I'd pop in here. Amy was born at 36 weeks, but we made it to 38 weeks this time and still going. I'm crossing my fingers for you xx

Hi Sally!!! I've been so slack lately .. been meaning to ask how your pg is going

I've made it full term second time around ... in fact ... if I were to have been allowed to have a VBAC, I am 100% sure I would have gone over. DS were c/s'ed at 38+5 weeks, weighed 3.525kg and had agpar of 9/10/10. He is a healthy, happy, no-fuss, beautifull little boy.

How are Brendan doing? And you??

I went premmie 34 +6 again, but honestly with support it was a lot easier this time around.

Sally, my friend's first baby was a 24 weeker (who is now a thriving 3yo!) and she went to term with baby 2.

[Mildez]

A friend of mine had bub no1 at 26weeks. Bub no2 she had her bags packed from 26weeks and she went over due by 10days and was induced. She thought it was because she was so prepared that she went over lol. In the last week she said she wanted to kick her bags every time she walked past them. The also told her she would have another prem so they were very wrong.

Sally ... how are you holding up hun??

Hey there. Well done on this thread. I had twins at 27 weeks and they are now 7 months old, 4 months corrected. I have the same fear of getting pregnant again, but I htink that the posts here have made me feel more confident. It's never easy to think of having another after going through the NICU and what a long road it was. I had an "incompetant cervix". I think that something needs to be done to change that idea!!! It makes you feel really crap when you think that you have let your babies down at the best of times! Keep up with the good feelings everyone!
