Friends pregnant girlfriend is in intensive care :(

DH's friends girlfriend is a week overdue with their first baby. She was rushed into hospital yesterday after collapsing and put in intensive care. She isn't getting enough oxygen to her brain but they can't deliver the baby until she stabilizes. They think she may have a blood clot and are carrying out tests today. I hope they are both ok. Her poor boyfriend doesn't know if he is coming or going. He is beside himself with worry as he thinks he will loose both of them

Really pleased to hear the update too Thanks kid (now I feel like a Scouser )

They have a baby boy, weighed 2.91 kg (no idea in lb and oz)
Mum had an operation on a veinin her stomach the week before she collasped. A blood clot had formed and went to her brain. She is doing well, she came home from hospital today but will take a further 6 months to fully recover. Baby is being kept in hospital, not sure why, but will make a full recovery.

wonderful. I've been holding my breath on this one a little.

bundle · 06/04/2005 19:07

kid that's wonderful news, i'm sorry they kept you in the dark but i'm sure they were frantic.

kid · 06/04/2005 19:06

Dh tried to phone him yesterday but phone was switched off. Tried again today and got through to his girlfriends mum (who doesn't speak much English) and found out that the baby was delivered yesterday and both mum and baby are doing fine. Don't know if she has a girl or boy or any details of the birth, just glad they are both alive.

Thanks for following this thread and I'm glad it has had a happy outcome.
