Brydee was 3 months old when i was 2 weeks late. I did a pregnancy test and sure enough i was pregnant again.
Again the hypermisis came back with a vengance. I had a horrid horrid pregnancy. I was continually vommiting and my back pain had gone beyond a joke.
I was admitted to hospital a few times with severe vommiting and put on a drip. After my 20 week scan we found out we were having a boy i was over the moon.
After a routine scan at 28 weeks they found i had polyhydramnios was is excess fluid i also had borderline diabetes.
I would get a stabbing pain in my right side it got to the point where i couldnt stand for more than 5 minutes. I was in agony. I had so many tests done to find out what it was and nothing came back.
I remember i was about 35 weeks pregnant and i was cooking tea i would stand up for a few minutes then sit down it continued on like this until i sat on the kitchen floor and burst out crying, Pete came in and asked what was wrong and all i could say was i cant cook tea.
I was booked in for my c section on the 21 May 1 week before my due date.
On the 9th of may i was admitted to hospital with irregular contractions it showed i hada irratble uteris and my baby had a very very low heart rate. I was rebooked in to have the c section on the 15th may. I was to have a round of steroid injections to help his lungs.
Again i couldnt sleep the night before.
On the 15th May 2007 i was wheeled into theatre. I had told them of my concerns of feeling them cutting me again and was assured that it wouldnt happen. Again my blood pressured plummited and i felt as if i was dying. I was hot i was cold i felt like i was falling and going to be sick.
At about 11.30 Jordan Lian James entered the world weighing 8.6lb.
He was given to Pete to hold and Jordan was making tiny wee grunting sounds. I made a comment to the dr there. They whisked Jordan from Pete and took him back over the where they clean the babies. I saw them working on Jordan. I didnt know what was happening i started to cry thinking that my baby wasnt going to make it.
They finished sewing me up then wheeled me into recovery without my baby.
There were 3 other families in there all with their babies and i didnt have mine.
I got told that Jordan couldnt breathe properly and had been sent to NICU.
I remember having an arguement with Pete i told him to go and find Jordan and sit with him i didnt want Jordan to be alone. Pete wanted to stay with me he didntwant me to be alone. I remember bossing the aneathatist around i told her to go and find out what was wrong with my baby.
At about 4pm i was wheeled back to my room. I still hadnt seen my baby properly i got given a photo of him. He had tubes everywhere. I cried and cried.
At about 5 pm i got wheeled into see him in my bed. He opened his eyes up and just stared at me. I started crying again happy that i could see my boy was going to be ok.
At 8.30pm i got wheeled in again to see him and got to have kanga cuddles. I could hardly see him as i had so many tears running down my face, i was so over joyed at finally getting to touch my wee man.
I hounded the midwives that night, i got wheeled up 3 times in the night to just sit with him and talk to him.
The next morning i got told if Jordan fed of me and his sugar levels were up he could come back to my room with me.
He fed brillantly and his levels were up.
I was like an excited kid at christmas i nearly ran back to my room...a great achievement as i had had an operation the day before.
Jordan came back to me at 11.30am 24 hours after he was born.
We got discharged on the Thursday. but readmitted the following week as Jordan had jaundice and failure to thrive. The paeds also said they thought i had my dates mixed up as they thought he was 4 c-5 weeks prem and not the 2 that i thought he was.In the first 2 days after he was born he went right down to 7.7lb. He also had a hole in the heart.
Jordan is now 6 months old and a true delight he has a intolerancy to dairy hense why he had failure to thrive but he is the happiest wee man and im so lucky to have him.

Brydee
After having only one child for 8 years i didnt even contemplate i might be pregnant. I had been vomitting for a number of days and decided to take a pregnancy test at work for a joke another girl was doing one too. Mine came back positive. I was in total shock as was my partner of 4 years.
Again i had hyperemisis all the way through. I also had spd which is really really bad backache other than that i had a easy pregnancy.
I found out at my 20 week scan i was having a wee girl. I was booked in for a c section as she was considered a big baby,breech,posterier and slight placenta praevia.
She was due on my birthday 3rd April 2006. I was booked in for the 27 march.
Shakayla stayed at mums house on the 26th i got no sleep at all thast night i was so excited and scared at the thought of a new baby. Would i know what to do with such a little person.
The next morning at 7am we went to hospital i was going to have Pete come in with me while i had the c section.
I was taken to theatre and given a spinal. I remeber feeling very dizzy and feeling sick. My blood pressure had dropped very very low, i was going in and out of conscieness.
Brydee Jorja was born at 10.30am Monday 27 March 2006 weight 8.4lb.
They had taken her away to clean her up and had started to sew me up there had been a few complications with my uteris and bladder. My bladder had adhered to my scar tissure so they had taken longer than normal to cut me open.
They were about half way through sewing me up when i started to get feeling back in my legs it worked its way up to my stomach and i could feel them sewing me. I told them and they said they could give me another spinal or i could just bare it. I told them to blimmen hurry up. I bit right through my lip with the pain.
Brydee was a healthy baby and had absolutely nothing wrong with her

Shakayla
Shakayla
I had had an aweful pregnancy hospatilized for hyperemisis and Shakayla was posterier. I was 42.2 days over due. I was to be induced that night Tuesday 15 july 1997. after having the meds i went home and waited for it all to begin. Shakayla was to be my first child and i had planned on a waterbirth. After a niggly night i went back to the hospital at 7am and got some more meds.
Labour came on hard and fast at 9.30 am all i wanted to do was walk. I dont know how many times i paced the hall ways. At 2pm i asked to goto Christchurch Womens as i had been in labour since 930am and only 1 cm dilated. They went to check on babies heartbeat and couldnt find it. I saw a look of pure panic cross my midwifes face she dropped everything and ran out the room. I remember laying there with my friends and family in the room i had tears pouring down my face as did everybody else. Another midwife came in and tried to hear her heartbeat she too couldnt find it. She called an ambulance and i was rushed to CHCH womens. I dont remember the ambulance ride. I do know they tried to put a drip in adn couldnt my veins were collapsing. Once i was at womens they found babies heartbeat and got a drip in. I was given an epidural.
By this time it was 7pm. Babies heart rate was erratic they talked about a c section and said they would assess me later.
Mum and my birthing friends went and got tea as did the midwife who was with me. I was left with this really really goodlooking training dr. We had a great time while they were gone only interrupted by the farts that i was doing...i couldnt help it lol i had an epidural and couldnt control it.
At 10 pm they did an internal and said i was only 3 cms dilated and they were going to do a c section. I was prepped and taken to theatre.
At 10.28pm 16 july 1997 Shakayla Madison my first daugter was born.
I remember looking at her and saying "Shes not very pretty is she"
I was wheeled to recovery and then to my room. I think i saw the most beautiful sunrise that morning...could of been the morphine talking as well lol.
I was going to be transferred to Burwood so Shakayla had to have the peads check. While they were doing it they said she had something going on with her heart.They sent her down for a echo scan and a heart x ray. She had 2 holes in the heart. Nothing major but she had to be monitored until she was 5.
Once i was transferred to Burwood i started to enjoy my wee girl.There was only me and her ..no dad.
I had a lot of trouble breastfeeding i had bleeding and sore cracked nipples i remember looking up and seeing a womean walking the hallway feeding her baby and i cried and cried. One of the midwives came in and told me to harden up and maybe i shouldnt of gotten pregnant at such a young age, i was 18.
I discharged myself on the Monday and vowed i would never ever go there again.
On the Thursday morning Shakayla went Blue and stopped breathing. She was rushed to hospital and placed in HDU. They thought it might of been a side affect of her heart. We stayed in over night.
Saturday morning mum came in to wake me i was very dozy and soo tired and sore. She couldnt find Shakayla i had her under the blankets with me and the electric blanket going as well as the heater. She was in a pool of sweat. I had nearly killed her.
I was soo cold and had thought if i was cold so was she. I remember mum yelling at me and told me go have a shower. I went and had a shower and woke up on the floor of the bathroom. I had collapsed, my cousin carried me to the car and i was taken straight to hospital.
I was sitting in the waiting room which was about the size of a bathroom with another lady who was losing her baby. She was 5 months pregnant, she kept looking at Shakayla and crying. I was tring to keep Kayla quiet but i was soo sore.
After been in that room for 4.5 hours i was seen by a dr. I had part of the placenta still in me as well as mastitis. I got admitted to hospital. I noticed they put the lady who had lost her baby directly opposite my room. I tried so hard to keep Shakayla quiet that night. The next morning i was sent down for a d and c.
