    I can't imagine being in your shoes. I think we can all only imagine how much anxiety and worry you have at the moment.

    I personally have not being in your shoes however as a midwife I am sure the medical side of things would do everything possible to ensure a safe outcome for your baby. I am sure going on your history and the fact that the ultrasound you have had recently shows not ideal doppler flows that you will have very very close monitoring and possible early delivery to ensure the safest outcome. Are you having regular U/S and CTG's? All I can suggest is to go to the labour ward if you feel you need to like your little girl isn't moving around as much as usual or you just need reassurance. I am sure you will get very familar with the place and the staff before your daughter is born.

    The ladies I have looked after who have had a prior angel baby or multiple angles have had the very best of care. As midwives and dr's in obstetrics we go to every length to ensure the best outcome even if that is daily monitoring and early birth.

    I imagine that the feelings your having will not pass until your princess is born. If that is within the next few weeks your now 27weeks so bub has an excellent chance from this gestation onwards especially if its planned and your able to have the drugs to help mature her lungs and prepare her best for life outside you. Thinking of you and you have an uneventful remainder of your pregnancy and have a happy healthy little girl!

    Firstly I'd just like to say I'm so sorry for your losses and really sorry you are going through this. I will pray for you and for your daughter that she will be born safely. It is so hard not to worry after you've experienced a loss, my son was stillborn at 24wks and with my following pregnancy worried the whole way through until she was born. You will be in my thoughts.

    Regards,
    Dianne

    Looking at those three angels in your signature is utterly heatbreaking. I can't even begin to imagine how you feel right now and I know nothing at all will alay that fear. If they can get her out safely sooner then it might be worth going for because that US result is really scary. I would call them and make an appointment and ask them for every single option they have up their sleeve and lay it out on the table. Give your little girl every chance.

    I am praying that one day soon you will be able to show us pictures of your beautiful daughter.
