George Leo Taylor

On July 28th 2008 the midwife confirmed that i was 7 weeks pregnant with baby No 2, I couldnt have
been More Happy :)
I already Had Rylee william who was 5 1/2 months old so it was a shock but we knew we could cope.
August 19th 2008, i was 10 weeks 5 days pregnant and went for my 1st scan , Mummy & Daddy see you
wiggling about your only 4cm long but right then we knew this baby was going to be loved so much.

21st August Im in a panic i start to bleed , I ring the hospital to tell me that i need to wait til
Friday 23rd August for a scan....those few days drag on.
We visit the hospital on the Friday and get told everything is fine , so we go home HAPPY :)

26th August 2008, I start to bleed again , Another trip to the hospital- this time A & E, Get told
we need to wait another 2 days for a scan... again we panic...

28th August Go for the scan , Get told baby is fine, that Im bleeding from '' a Retroplacental
Hemmoraging'' that i need to take it easy , that i may get the ''occasional bleed'' but all should
be well.

12th September 14 weeks 3 days pregnant , Bleeding on and off still , seems all we did was have
scans , monitors and trips to the hospital, Taking it easy is very hard with a 6 month old son as
well...
21st October 2008, We go for the 20 week scan and find out we are having A BOY we are over joyed ,
this is to be short lived.. we get told i have a Low lying placenta as well as Grade 4 placenta
Previa which is the worse form.. told that REST is needed and that alot of mums go onto have healthy
babies, that our son is fine inside me and the blood is coming from the placenta and me and not the
baby , so our son is getting enough blood.

30th October 21 weeks 2 days i have a massive bleed , up til then , id been sent to the district
hospital , This time its the Maternity hospital , with all the babies , I panic, theres so much
blood , Babys heartbeat is monitored , Told all is well but that i need to stay in hospital til the
bleeding dies down, this takes about 3 days... I get out of hospital to hemmorage 3 days later this
happens another 5 times, Each time im given a cannula in my hand , monitors, all along getting to
know the midwifes VERY well with them telling me EVERYTHING is fine
26 weeks,My consultant comes to tell me she wants me to transfer to another hospital for closer
care, possible LEEDS.. this is miles away and im not keen... I tell her and she says ok
then..STAY... how i wish Id gone now ..:(

Saturday 13th Decemeber 27 weeks 3 days my waters break at 10.20 pm , I panic , ring the Mat unit
they tell me to come in , It was agreed that i definately needed a C-SECTION due to the placenta
blocking my cervix so there was no way of baby getting out through a natural birth ,

I arrive there and get taken to a labour and delivery room, monitored and told i will be taken to
the same room and bed as id been in for the previous 17 weeks Plus , My partner goes home , Only to
be called at 5am ( sunday morning ) to say im going to labour and delivery id been in so much pain
for about 4 hours, had pethadin but as they knew i needed c-section it was all systems go, Wayne
arrive's and Everything ...stops....... the Dr gets an emergency and im told to just wait,
Monday comes I am in so much pain ..In labour Why wont anybody listen !!! I have a scan , George-Leo
as our precious baby is now called , has no waters, but a strong heartbeat and im told he is 2lb
10oz :) bless him so small...
Still nothing ..in pain no delivery all that happens is im moved to a private room as im making too
much noise..

Well DURR!! im in labour... Tuesday comes..still no c-section , Wayne decides to go home at about
5pm on the tuesday , Im feeling unwell all day, Hot then cold, they decide not to feed me all day (
just incase ) .... at 7.30pm i cant take it anymore midwifes & drs decide NOW is the time to go down
to Labour and delivery, after 4 days in labour they decide to do an internal examination , Waynes
called its all systems go.. Im about to be Delivered.. Im going to Meet my precious Son ,

SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited... but so scared ,

George-Leo is whisked to special care, small but alive and protocal is that he needs to go to

I ring / text everyone so happy :) im a mummy again :)
Wayne decides to go home at about 11.30pm Hes sooooo tired bless him.. my mums on her way in as were
told the 1st 24hrs are the trickiest.
15 minutes after Wayne goes, Special care want me downstairs, just as my mums turning up, I ring
