premature baby | | well morgans birth story is really not average,goes like this...my first 6 months went well but when i hit 25 weeks i started to get really bad pains so i went to the hospital and asked for a scan because i felt there was something wrong,but crazy as it sounds they said i couldnt have one as there were people in the waiting room with appointments one.so they took me in and gave me a quick check over and said i was fine and sent me home. well that night i went to bed to go to sleep but i suddenly felt really wet as if imy waters broke but it turned out to be blood and a lot of it!of course i freaked out and my partner rang an ambulance,i got sick and then passed out.once i got to the hospital i was told they had to take my baby out for any chance of survival as my placenta had ruptured.they told me his chances at this early stage were 10% of survival.emergancy c section followed...when i woke up they told me i had a boy and he was alive at 1pound 10 oz but on a ventilator. then they had to send him to a hospital an hour and a half away as they hadnt got the equipment to sustain him.once i recoverd i followed.when i seen him he was so tiny!i couldnt beleive what was happening.the first 3 weeks were a nightmare but then he started to get stronger and it seemed he wanted to fight for life,god i was so proud.after 11 weeks he was able to breath by himself.then he had eye surgery as he could not see,8 blood transfusions and a hernia operation.he came home after 3 months.that day is and always will be the best day of my life.i beleive he is a miricle and i am so proud of how hard he fought.he is perfectly healthy now apart from slight breathing problems when he runs.other people are not so lucky. i dont want anyone reading this to feel bad or sad about the story because it has made us as a family so strong!!@pooh5@
