I am expecting my second baby and am currently in hospital with health issues. I am being monitored for pre-eclampsia which could result in premature birth, stillbirth, low birth weight and even me bleeding to death. I am 33w5d according to the scan I had this morning.
My first pregnancy had no health issues but resulted in a c-section. It was a nightmare situation, my baby was in distress and I couldn’t dilate any further. I had postnatal depression after the birth and really battled with so many things afterwards. I never got off from work (I work for my father) and was carting my newborn up and down to work.
With my second pregnancy, it appears that I have so many health issues. My desire, however, besides all of this is to give natural birth with little pain 🙂 (if that is even possible). I was in excruciating pain when in labour with my son, unbearable, he was fighting to get out! At the moment, I’m having slight backache that’s getting little stronger (possibly a sign of labour). I am the only one working for my Father in admin, it’s only the two of us running the business. I just don’t want the same things happening to me again. I always felt like I didn’t want to have any more children because of my first experience, it’s like a ‘dark’ time in my life when I think back.
Please pray for me, I’m in need of a miracle. I believe GOD will help me.
Many thanks
