hi
i thought i would join this group if thats ok

my little man was born on the 9/2/10 at 650pm by c section. he was born at 34 + 3 weeks after having multiple complications during my pregnancy. i had vasa previa, grade 4 placenta previa, gestational diabetes on insulin, pre-eclampsia, and polyhydranimos (extra fluid surrounding him). i had some spotting from week 28 with him, then on the sunday before he was born, my ob admitted me to hospital for monitoring after i had a bleed of 50mls. i was to stay in hospital until he was born which they were hoping that i could hold out for another 2 or more weeks but on the tuesday i had another 50ml bleed so they decided not to take anymore chances and i had a c section that night.

Hamish was 2.71kg, 47.5cm long with a head circumferance of 35 cm. he was in the special care nursery right up until last monday where we were able to bring him home after he put on some weight and started feeding and sucking well.

i look forward to being able to chat to everyone on here with babies around the same age!
