30 something and TTC #1 for a year

[MrsPTTC]

Oh no broody, i wasn't expecting to come on & see that! Hope your LO stays put & they can stop the contractions Hun, thinking of you x

Hi girls! Thanks for the replies. Just a very quick update - need to sleep now! At about 730 this morning lo decided she'd had enough of the meds and shot into the world 2 hours later. She weighs 2lbs 10oz and they are pleased with her condition so far. Took her off the ventilator this evening. She might end up back on it but delighted they considered her strong enough to try! I'm doing good too, on a bit of an adrenalin high all day - starting to crash now, definitely sleeping time! We've called her Fia which is an Irish name meaning Little or Gentle Deer. Will update more and with a photo tomor, PhotoBucket not working now for some reason... Night night!

Hi broody OMG I can't believe she is here! I am thinking about you and little Fia. I hope she gets stronger every day xxx

Morning girls! Fia had a good night. They've taken her off the ventilator and put her on the sipap instead (little nose mask) Bit jaundiced so she's under photo therapy...

Here's her first photo

Sorry, that looks a bit huge on my phone! Can't resize....

 

[MrsPTTC]

Awww broody she's so tiny! So precious! Was it a normal delivery or did you have to have a section? x

 

[brassy]

Broody! What a sweetie!!! I hope she is very strong soon!
My cousin's little boy was born exactly at 28 weeks like your daughter, and now a few years later, he is the smartest in his class!

 

[MrsG2010]

Thanks broody for keeping us updated.

I've missed so much! Congrats Broody. What a beautiful baby and beautiful name. Absolutely amazing that she's doing so well honey. Off the ventilator already! Amazing. She's a strong cookie. You can tell. I agree with the others, she's a good weight given how early she was. My colleagues daughter arrived at 32 weeks and weighed 2lbs 10 and us now a healthy, smart 13 yr old teen who has just started her period! Heheh. She had to be in a ventilator for quite a few days so little Fia is doing great. Hoping she gets even stronger every minute.

How are you and mr broody doing? Take care of yourself too. Xx

Little Fia looks very good, well done Broody. What an amazing little baby. Said a prayer for her today.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Broody hope Fia is doing ok.

Well ladies 1 day overdue & I'm in labour! x

 

[brassy]

Good luck MrsP! Hope all goes well!

 

[cupcakesarah]

Good luck MrsP

Hey girls!! Just logging on very quickly to let you know that Fia is still doing well They've upped her milk feeds and are reducing her respiratory help gradually. Right now she is on room air (so no added oxygen) with a little nose mask providing pressure 20 times a minute to remind her. Yesterday it was at 30bpm so she's doing well. They put a long line in her today for meds etc. - it's preferable to a drip for long term use. Today I'm being discharged which will be really strange I'm sure. At least she will still only be about 15mins away so that'll make visiting much easier. I feel so bad for parents who live hours from the hospital... Sorry for lack of personals, have a bit of a one track mind at the moment! Hope you are all well.

 

[GettingBroody]

MrsP - just spotted your post!!!! Woohoo!! Good luck! Can't wait to hear all about BabyP! (PS never answered your question the other day - had a natural delivery, and a very quick one at that!!)
