Hi Ladies,
I think I was officially the 1st July mommy???
Sorry I have been out of comm's. The last two weeks have gone past in a blur. I have so much to catch up on, and will try to get to that.
McKeilagh Georgia Nel was born on Tuesday 15th June at 18h30 via emergency c-section.
Ladies- always trust your instincts. If you think you need to visit the dr then go!!!
The weekend before Mckeilagh was born I was feeling nar and had lost my appetite. I spent most of it on the bed whilst DH finished the nursery. On the Monday I was still not feeling well so between clients I stopped at the labour ward. As you all know I have suffered from severe oedema since 30 weeks but with no BP problems. This time I was admitted with pre- eclampsia- my BP was very high and I had +3 protein in my urine.
On Tuesday my bloods came back showing my platelites were dropping and my enzime count was in the 200's instead of the 30's. Dr took me straight to surgery.
She was born at 2.87kg's, dropped to 2.555 by the time we left the hospital. We had to stay a few extra days as my dr wanted my bloods to return to normal. But now at 2 weeks she is a healthy 3kg's. She latched the first feed and feeds every 3 hours during the day, at night we leave her to wake us.
She is sooo lovely. Here is a picture. I will definitly catch up in the next few days.
Lots of love
