Hello everyone. Hope you are all ok. Sorry that I'm not mentioning people individually but I have been keeping track of you all on here over the last couple of weeks. Welcome to all the new ladies too. I can't believe how many rainbow babies are making an appearance this year and next.
Tina - Lukas is totally gorgeous and I can't believe that him and Orla share the same birthday!! As you said, they will always have a connection. I see them as two end of a rainbow spanning an ocean! x
As for me, I am truly, madly, deeply in love! For those of you not friends with me on Facebook my rainbow baby Orla Rae Liberty was born on Tuesday morning weighing 7lb 10oz compared to my others that's huge!!) (thanks for all your lovely messages) As is usual for my children she was unexpectedly early! I was booked in for a planned c-section this coming Monday. My OH was working away in London at the beginning of this week so on Monday night just after midnight when I lost my mucus plug and then my waters broke I was in a bit of a panic! I'd felt uncomfortable all evening and at about 11pm had felt an almighty kick and baby was bulging out to one side then it literally felt like an immense pressure down below. So I'd been pottering about unable to sleep. Anyway, I phoned the hospital which is about 40 minutes away and they said to come straight in. I managed to get hold of Marc but he was relaint on trains to get back home so I knew he wouldn't make it in time to be at the birth. So began me frantically calling people trying to wake them up. I tried my dad and was cursing him as I'd asked him to keep his mobile on and beside him 'just in case' while Marc was working away. He didn't asnwer so I tried my mum who I knew was working. She's a nurse at the local hospital (not the one I needed to go to) but she was on an ambulance transfer to Leicester. Arghh - I needed soemone to drive me in and someone to look after the children. Anyway, finally my dad phoned back and siad he was on his way. So then i tried my friend but as expected she was fast asllep so didn't answer. By this time my contractions had started and were already every 5 minutes and pretty painful. Not the way I had planned on it being this time! Them muy mum phoned!! The hospital had radioed the ambulance and passed my message on so she wasd getting here as soon as to drive me in. Luckily, I'd packed my hospital bag last week so I was just trying keep calm and breathe through my contractions. Finally we were on our way.......without any warning we came across a road closure!!! No diversion signs so we ended up driving down a winding countyry road full of pot holes which didn't help with my pain!! When we arrived at the hospital about 45 minutes later they said staright away that they were prepping me for surgery - they checked me and I was 2cm dilated. Someone was already in the theatre so I had to wait for it to be free. So, then I was in theatre with my mum (so gald I wasn't on my own - my mum and I don't have the closest of realtionships but I'm glad she was there and she actually showed her rare softer side!). I lost a lot of blood (about 1 litre) so I could hear them muttering about that and it seemed to take them an age to tidy me up this time round but my daughter was here safe and sound two and half weeks before her due date at 5.44am. There were a few tears believe me!! Marc finally arrived at about 9am after travelling through the night and being starned at 5am at Kings Cross waiting for a train connection!
She is so, so special and although it's been a long journey getting her I wouldn't have it any other way. She has such a shock of jet black hair! I'm so glad to be home! She's a little bit jaundiced and I'm still waiting for my milk to come in properly so am topping up with formula at the moment. I've had an allergic reaction to the lotion they 'paited' on me before the spinal which is annoying as the other rash had virtually gone but I am over the moon! Coanll can't quite say Orla and it sounds more like he's calling her 'Earl Grey' which is funny. Gabriella refers to her as 'the new baby' and on the way back from hospital asked 'are you having another baby tomorrow?' and Ava is just mother hen!!
Anyway, I'm off for more cuddles now. Take care everyone and thank you so much for being here for me over the last 18months - I couldn't have done it without you all and I look forward to hearing of many more rainbows in the near and distant future. xxxxxx

They are refering me back to the high risk clinic and I'll have consultation in two weeks with the doctor who did my dnc for the pmp. And she was not someone I liked very much. I'm so stressed and sad. It's hard to stay hopeful, I really wasn't expecting more bleeds.
