Birthday!

I was never good at being pregnant, my first pregnancy I spent much of the time in hospital on an IV. Hyperemesis Gravidarium. The same thing the Duchess of Cambridge had. The second time round, well she was a mistake, a slip of contraception that if I'd truly thought about I would never have done as the first time round was so damn horrendous, however a lucky mistake because she was a little cherub and still is 22 years later.
So 22 years ago today I had spent a few weeks in hospital, with declining blood results and increasing blood pressure. Still vomiting, which had suddenly turned into a haematemesis (vomiting blood) I was ill. Really unwell. The doctor said I needed a naso gastric tube. A plastic tube inserted down the nose past the throat into the stomach.
The little midwives had not passed once since training, three times they tried and finally I said oh give it here and passed it myself. Tip if you ever need one do it yourself and swallow a lot! Then they couldn't feel her moving.. so they rushed me to theatre where someone did feel her, so back to the ward. Then at about 11pm all hell let loose. I got worse, the blood was frank, her movements stopped and I had a crash caesarian section.
I woke up after the anaesthetic and although was unwell felt like me again. I knew I'd never have another baby. Two pregnancies like that are enough for anyone, not sure about princess Kate though... maybe one more for sibling support in the future?
