I am worried sick. My sister has been taken to hospital as she is losing fluid. She is only just 24 weeks

[Pinkchampagne]

She has had a stressful pregnancy. She has had bleeding problems from the start but every scan has showed that baby & placenta is ok. She is now just 24 weeks and has been losing fluid since 1pm today. She says she can still feel it moving around.

I am out of my mind with worry. The baby will be too little to stand a good chance of survival.

Yes, 32 weeks is the cut off. Right now they want to leave baby inside, despite the bleeding, because baby's heart beat & growth are fine

She has come home now. She was going to stay in but they then moved to mothers with newborns into her ward & she found it really upsetting. She also said that the toilet looked like someone had slashed their wrists in it. I hope she is going to be ok.

"two mothers" sorry, was rushing my typing there!

Yeah that must have been pretty awkward for her :( just hope she manages to rest she is almost there and she's done amazingly well and your love and support would have really helped her get this far :)

I hope she rests too. She is shattered as she didn't sleep at all last night. Thank you all for your lovely messages of support.

oh your poor sister, she's really been through it hasn't she? :( I'm really glad to hear that the heartbeat and growth are fine. I hope your sis can get some rest and really do wish her well.

I am starting to really dislike the hospital your sister is with pink :(

30 weeks is a fabulous achievement and it sounds as if 32 weeks is a real possibility now.. what a way to come from 23 weeks!

My sister had to have an emergency c section today due to cord prolapse. She actually noticed the cord had started to slip out so quickly got on all fours and called an ambulance. She was then rushed to hospital & had an emergency section. They apparently didn't expect baby to survive but my nephew came out screaming and kicking, weighing 2lb 15oz.
My sister is in quite a bit of pain so has been given morphine. She has been through such an ordeal, bless her. I hope my new nephew is going to be ok.

Sending lots of love and good wishes

Your poor sister. Good thing she had noticed the cord.

I will keep everything crossed that she has a speedy recovery and that your nephew keeps being the fighter that he has been over the past few weeks.

Congratulations pinks sister and a HUGE well done for doing exactly the right thing and saving your sons life, you clever thing I hope your son goes from strength to strength in Nicu. There will inevitably be some ups and downs and it is a long slog but SO worth it. The Bliss messsageboard is down at the moment but when it comes back it's great.

You are all in my thoughts xx

pink you have been a lovely support to your sister, she is lucky to have you xx

Good grief, your poor Sister :(

Wishing her, your new little nephew and you all the best wishes and positivity I can possibly send. xx

Oh dear what an awful situation for her. Thank goodness they got him out ok. I hope all goes smoothly for them now.

Best wishes and congratulations to you all. I hope your nephew has a smooth NICU journey and your sister has a quick recovery.

Welcome to the world to your little fighter nephew. Thinking of you all and sending positive thoughts. xx

Good grief what a turn of events so sorry to hear of the emergency situation. All positive thoughts going to ur beautiful new nephew. Hang in there little one everyone is rooting for you .

Oh Pink, bless her and her little boy! I'm hoping with all my might they will both be ok. Thinking about you all, my very best wishes that they will be ok. xxx

Congratulations to her on the birth of her son, a healthy weight for an early baby. You're an Auntie

She did remarkably well, I join the other posters in wishing her a very healthy and quick recovery, and hoping your nephew will be home soon with the family. x

Congratulations to your sister; she did exactly the right thing and he is a good weight for a premie. I hope he makes all the progress he should and that she recovers quickly.

Hi Pink,
Sending lots of love a good wishes to your sister, her baby and all the family.

Oh pink what a scary situation for your poor sister, and all the pain she must be having plus emotions. A big well done to her and the medical team for safe delivery of the baby. Nearly 3lb very well done!!!

Keep us updated if you can but expect you will be very busy next several weeks!

Congratulations on becoming an Auntie. I hope she is feeling a bit better and that your nephew goes from strength to strength.

I have seen a photo & he looks beautiful. I just want to get to the hospital & see my sister now. Might have to wait until Saturday though as have nobody to take care of my boys until then

How lovely that you have seen a photo. You are a wonderful sister!

Congratulations! Sending lots of positivity and best wishes. Hope all is well
