.

Around about this time last year i discovered i was pregnant. I never knew what the journey would turn out like ..

At 6 weeks pregnant after a bleed they told me she was a blighted ovum and i should naturally miscarriage with in the week ..a week later there was a heart beat.

From 9-14 weeks i spent the majority of the time on a drip unable to eat or drink anything.

At 20 weeks they told me she had an adbormal heart and dextrocardia ( right sided heart )

At 23 weeks i was admitted again and given steroids as a test came back i was at risk of going in to premature labour.

At 28 weeks they diagnosed her with severe congenital diaphramatic hernia with liver in the chest and gave her a 15 percent chance of surviving.

At 33 weeks they diagnosed her with heart coarctation and 2 holes and gave a her hardly any chance of surviving adding everything together and offered me a termination.

At 36 weeks on new years day they induced me as she had stopped growing.

On the 2nd of january , sienna Kelly was born. On the first night they nearly called it 3 times but she kept fighting, telling me the next morning there was lil chance of her making it ...but she fought and continued to fight.

Against all odds a year later from the very beginning my lil girl is sitting next to me and has made my life complete.

Never give up hope and never take anything for granted .

Sienna Kelly , you are my world ,my everything and you will forever make me proud.

Love you forever.

Her eyes look so deep and knowing, like she's been here before. I've read your threads and know it's been tough. You are doing wonderfully. Your ex is a wart on the arse of humanity.

Thank you , in doing my best to raise awareness of cdh ...its not that uncommon just for cdh the survival rate overall is 50/50 ( gets lower or higher depending on which organs have herniated etc )

180 babies a year in the uk will lose there lifes to cdh.

( that was the main issue at birth until kartengers was diagnosed )

but take away all the other issues ...cdh in its self is lethal but due to not many people knowing what it is there is not much research.
