One of my best friends had a baby on Thursday her third a girl by C section. She hasn't had the best of pregnancies had loads of bleeds, bad backache and diabetes. She was praying to hang on until 38 weeks so she could go to term, during the section they nicked the placenta and the baby lost a lot of blood resulting in trauma to some of her internal organs. They pur her on a respirator in SCBU to support her breathing and her condition was critical but stable yesterday. Today I had a text message from her hubby saying they had the baby christened and it's not looking good.
The thing is her first baby was an emergency c section due to a placental abruption at 33 weeks. She was told then her baby might not make it but he pulled through and is a lovely 8 year old now. Her second boy was also heading for an abruption but they got her in time although he has a condition affecting his immune system and has spent loads of time in hospital (he's 4 now and getting better).
On top of this she has had loads of troubles with her hubby and they two of them got back together and were delighted to be having this little girl.
I so so feel for her I'm too far away to go and see her I am in bits for her, I've got everyone I know praying for this little baby girl to pull through she's just got to. It's makes you realise how lucky we are sometimes.
