The reality of having a prem set in to us exactly 1 year ago today.
Today was the day that i have my first lot of steroids. Although we didnt know exactly that Ethan would be born 2 days later but we knew it was a 99% chance that he would be born.
It was up to the specialist, who had been on long service leave for 12 months. I had not seen him during Ethans pregnancy but he had cared for us during each of our previous pregnancies so knew my history and my complications very well.
It was all up to him to decide, would they deliver a potentially sick 33 weeker or do an intra-uterine transfusion. Today is still clearly etched into my memory. We had to go to the shops on the way home because my bag was not packed…not at all.
As you can imagine today has been full of lots of cuddles and kisses for my little man. I am always left thinking about the what if’s. What if i hadn’t just made an appoint 2 weeks before when the Dr i seen ( the peri’s were at a conference so he was a substitute) said we will see you in 3 weeks - that would have made my next scan at 34 weeks…would that mean we wouldn’t have our little boy
