wow you guys have all been through so much, and look how well all your little men and ladies are doing now!!! It really makes me smile to see how well they are doing and knowing that DS will be the same

I sort of knew that he might come early but never really thought it was a possibility. I had placenta previa but it kept changing grades. At 20 weeks it was partially covering the cervix. Bled at 28 weeks got 2x steroid shots and spent the week in hospital. In the ambulance as I was transferred between hospitals the nurse was saying if they had to deliver the baby now he would have a very good chance of survival and the only thing I could think was...we haven't got a car seat for him yet, clearly I was still in shock. They were talking keeping me in the hospital until I had the baby but decided to send me home and they checked my placenta and it was completely covering the cervix and 3mm anterior. Bled again at 33 weeks but according to my scan the week before my placenta was now just touching the cervix. Got another steriod shot and stayed in hospital two days then got sent home. Then 34 weeks had the final bleed and he was out. none of my family wanted to hold DS when he was born, the grandads still don't want to LOL but he was 5lb 6oz when he was born, so quite big for 34 weeks I'm just glad placenta previa is by pregnancy so hopefully I won't get it next time round.

Shaz: GL with your pregnancy, hoping you continue to term!
