Just before midnight last night I began to have tightenings it didn't feel like braxton hicks, I did begin to worry which didn't help.I woke up OH - Luke, and he got the car ready, getting down the stairs was scary I felt like everything was going to 'fall out' I was crying in pain, Luke kept telling me it was ok but I could see fear in his face, in the car I was trying to get hold of my mum, of all the nights she must have had her mobile on silent, she doesn't have a house phone. This was making me panic even more as me and mum have a great relationship and I just wanted to hear everything was going to be ok and whatever happened baby would be ok. The closer I got to hospital I got a strong sick feeling, my stomach felt so tight but breathing helped with the pain. Arriving at hospital I got bloods taken which come back ok but a higher end of ok. I was hooked upon machines my oxygen levels were a little low. By 2:30ish my waters had broke. It wasn't a great gush but was certainly able to feel it, Luke called for help the midwife came and examined me and said all was fine, it really didn't seem one bit fine. by 4am the thing helping me was Luke rubbing my back, I felt so hot and sticky I thought I was melting. We was told that a bed in NICU was ready for our baby boy if the contractions didn't stop and he came early. By this point hearing that just made me go into overdrive of emotions. I didn't know what to feel, say, or do. The doctor/consultant came in after one of the midwifes had ran out the room, consultant said to us our little boy will be coming he was to distressed inside and it become safer to deliver him than to keep him put. I wanted my mum so bad and not long after she arrived just before I went down to theatre. Mummys cuddles are the best. I had the spinal block it felt so strange. I was shaking so much through fear and the medications. I was so scared this was my first operation and not something I thought would be happening to me after having such a straight forward pregnancy. My world had been turned around and full of fear. Before I knew it baby was out, I got a quick.glimpse, he looked perfect, but he was a little blue, the chord had began to wrap around his neck. He was rushed off to intensive care. We are now awaiting updates of our little man. I am still a little shakey and can't wait until we can have cuddles. I wish you all the best in your pregnancies and births as won't be around much want to spend as much time as I can with baby (no name yet) Also will be doing a journal to keep to all updated so please take a look

My friend had her baby at 33 weeks, and she's perfectly fine, just a little small!
