Bloody hell Sammie - what a stressful few days for you and DH. Did he get there in time? My heart was in my mouth reading your post, I'm so pleased to hear he's turned the corner and should be able to come home with you.

I give thanks and praise that we are born in this century and in a Western country. If we lived in a hut in Burkino Faso or in 1810, it would be awful to think about what would happen in anything other than a standard birth. Although having said that, none of us would be pregnant without IUI/ IVF so.... But I'm so grateful for you, the medical attention sounds like it was great when you really needed. Phew. Give that lovely baby a cuddle from us all.

Lise and Kyra - hope you are feeling better now. It's rubbish not being able to take anything for it. Hope you get well soon x

To everyone else hello! and belly rubs to all
