I was in and out of hospital throughout my pregnancy. I had to do weekly blood test. I was injected with steroids to try make baby develop faster. On the 28th of October it was time. My blood pressure wasn't doing well and my kidneys were folding under the strain. We struggled to get a hospital that could accommodate me for a c-section and had a bed in Paediatric ICU. Eventually I had the Cesarean in a hospital that doesn't have a maternity ward but had a bed for baby in PICU. I went in for my c-section around 5 in the afternoon.

The surprise

In early 2008 I got the news that I was Pregnant for the third time. After my second child they did not give me much hope of ever having more children, so you could imagine my surprize. My second child was already born at 35 weeks. I knew that it was going to be difficult. My trouble started at 14 weeks. My blood pressure shot up and I started bleeding. We thought we were going to lose the baby. Thank goodness after a stay in hospital everything was under controll again. From there it was a constant struggle.

My children

I have 3 boys. 10 years, 3 years and 4 months old. My second child was born at 35 weeks and my last at 34 weeks, due to the fact that I get PET or Pre-eclampsia when I am pregnant. Iwould like to share my experiences with you. And I would love to hear from you if you are going through it as well. I look forward to sharing my life with you.
