Giving birth to a baby who is potentially very sick - I am soooo scared. Anybody got any thoughts?

[emkana]

God it's bad enough going through labour when you know/think your baby is fine, but I can already feel myself going tense at the thought of giving birth to this baby who might be very very ill...

in a way I want to keep him inside forever, at least I know he's okay in there.

thinking of you here too emkana xx

thinking of you too...

It was bad enough giving birth to two babies who might have problems (one did, but not related to PG and not discovered until much later)- I can only imagine how you must be feeling. You know we're all thinking of you Emkana and really hoping everything will be as well as can be. Lots of love and positive energies to you. From your posts we all know how wonderful a Mother you will be to this baby, he is lucky to have you. XXXXX

Sending best wishes and lots of positive thoughts to you over the next few days XXX

Emkana - I will be thinking of you xxxx

Emkana - like many others posting here I have no idea how difficult this must be:(

Rhubbard said exactly what i feel - that the love and care you have shown for your baby throughout this troubled pregnancy will stand you both in good stead - no matter what the outcome is!

I'm wishing you and the baby all the very best of luck, and all my hopes for a safe delivery and good prognosis!

Emkana, much love to you and your baby.

Thinking of you

Best wishes and lots of love to you xx

Emkana, sending you and your baby lots of positive thoughts.

Emkana you know all our thoughts and prayers are with you. You will have the best care there is and everyone is with you 100%.

As an aside, did you all manage to have a day out at the weekend?

Hugs to you, dh and your dd's xx

I will be thinking of you & your little baby, wishing you all the best. xx

We are all behind you Emkana. Be strong.

Wishing you all the best.

You have so much support on here, Emkana, we'll try to help you as best we can. xxP

Thank you all again, I feel so moved by all these messages.

@PanicPants: We did go out, but only for a short walk and an ice cream in the Forest of Dean. It was lovely though.

There are some lovely posts on here, emkana. So hope that all goes well for you and your baby boy. Lots of love. There will be many people waiting for news and wanting to support you whatever happens, I know.

I've been thinking of you too Emkana. I can just imagine how you want to keep your little one inside you.

Words are so inadequate at times. Like all of MN I am wishing you and your baby all the best for a positive outcome. Stay strong my dear. But if you don't want to - well that's OK too.

100% positive thoughts and hope from here too, emkana. Agree with scummy, there are some incredible messages on this thread. Good luck, sweetheart. XXXX

Emkana - not posted on your threads before, but wanted to say that I am thinking of you. It's no wonder that you are scared but no matter what, you are going to love your new ds, and you will somehow find the strength to cope with everything that you have to. xx

Just adding one more to the mix,I have no advice, I haven't been in your situation at all,

I hope your little one does not have to spend to much time in special care, as the others have said that is one very,very lucky baby to have you as a Mum, very lucky.

Sending you all love and hugs {{{xxxxxxxxxx}}}

emmkana you have been given some lovely thoughts to hold on to here and still I know it can't change what you're going through. Miracles do happen, and even when they don't, not everything will necessarily be exactly as the doctors have been predicting. I have no experiences like yours and cannot imagine what you are going through, but we are all here holding virtual hands and will still be here over the coming weeks.

Emkana... Your baby will be so loved, and you and your family and the medical staff will do all they can to make his entry into the world as peaceful and as celebratory as possible. I do know what you mean about wanting to keep him inside, because I have very clear memories of hugging dd2 (unproblematic pregnancy and birth) very close when she was tiny and wishing I could sort of swallow her back up and keep her inside me forever. That must be multiplied a hundredfold when you don't know what the future holds for your baby and you know that there could be problems. I've followed your threads, and I know that you are strong and loving and determined. Your baby is lucky to have you as his mum. Thinking of you so much.

Emkana - not posted on your threads before but thinking of you.

No advice but I'm thinking of you Emkana.

Not posted before but have followed your threads.

Will be thinking of you.
