why couldn't anyone help my 23 week baby, i feel so angry and cheated. how come some places help babies this young when others don't.
does anyone know of any hospitals in the uk that does resusitate babies from 23 weeks? i am pg again and so sure the same thing is going to happen.

i really like holby and i know it's just a soap. can't help wondering what life would be like now if my little one was saved. it's really interesting to know ucl and brighton do try and save 23weekers i am in london myself and am booking in to st mary's and my first question to them will be will they try and save a 23 week baby, if they sound doubtful i will see if i can book in ucl. or if i go into labour early i will just turn up. i know i probably should be more positive about this pg but can't help trying to prepare for the worst, i am going to have my hospital bag packed for 15 weeks and im getting in home remedys to stop contractions too.

Are you getting some support? I know how hard it is going through a pregnancy when something awful happened before. How many weeks are you now? I know how Holby freaked me out when I watched it the night before being induced after a caesarian - of course their version ended up very dramatic! Silly as it is, I'm addicted to it. After giving birth I told the midwife - she pointed out that if it was anything like real life the doctors would be a whole lot uglier.
