I had a terrible pregnancy as I suffered from hypermesis gravidum, which isa severe form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. I also had bleeding from 6 weeks up until I was 12 weeks pregnant.I ended up having 15 scans in total.

At 34 weeks + 2 days they broke the news to me that my daughter had  intrauterine growth restriction and unless she was born within the next 48 hours she wouldnt make it.

My labor was induced on the 12th feb 2010 at 10.00am via a gel and another gel 6 hours later..

I was put on a drip to start the contractions, I had an allergic reaction to it and had to have it put in my other hand. I had my waters broke for me.

I pushed for an hour but she became stuck, I had to be cut, which resulted in 31 stitches . I had no pain relief .

My daughter was born 4lb 6oz on the 13th February 2010, she is now a happy 2 year old.
