Well i desided to have a massive update as things have moved on as most of you know...

... and for those who dont my name is Emma im 23 i live in Fleetwood UK and im newly married too my partner Terry we've been together for 4.5 Fantastic yrs and love him with all i have. We got Married on Sat 17th November 2007

We have 2 children together Kyle 3y(born at 27wks 2lb 13oz) and TJ 2yrs(born at 25+6wks 2lb 2oz) who has CP is deaf and has a VP Shunt for hydrocelphcus after a grade 4 bleed on day 3. I also have 2 from a pervious marrage Kaitlin 7y(born at 33wks 4lb 0.5oz) and Jak 5y(born at 28wks 2lb 7oz). I also have 2 Angels Harry born asleep at 22weeks(aug 2000 8oz) and MY LITTLE PRINCESS ELLA-LOUISE born at 24+3wks on 11th April 2007 weighing just 1lb 1oz and died after just 5hrs and 8minutes on 12th April 2007. Ella's was laid to rest on Monday 23rd April 2007.

Kaitlin was born for fetal distress after contactions for just 2hrs by Emergency c-section,Jak born because of placenta abrubtion crash c-section, kyle was born after SPROM at 27weeks 3 days later due to contractions stopping and starting and then meconium emergency c-section, Tj was born after SPROM at just 18weeks i was kept on bed rest and after going into labour at least 4-5times and getting transfered here,their and EVERYWHERE i eventually had him at 25+6 due to have full placenta privia covering the os, this time they couldnt manage to stop contractions like privious times and i started to bleed really heavy so another emergeny c-section. Harry was Stillborn at 22wks after no heartbeat at 20wk scan.

Ella's Story

When i found out i was pregnant i was shocked but over joyed and quickly got used to idea, only concerns i had was that each preivous baby has gotten earlier and earlier but hopefully this would be different (god was i in for a shock). I had a few small bleds early on but nothing to bad had early scans and everything was fine, then at 15+wks i suffered a huge blood loss iand it was on weekend so couldnt be scanned til monday i was so sure id lost her, but monday morning came and i had my scan and she was their kicking away. I was so relived, but the reg on told me he was curtain i suffered from a condtion called factor 5 also known as sticky blood and hughs syndrom and said he'd put me on asprin and i was to see consutlant in 1 wks time to be started on heprin injections, well that appointment came and went and he assured me id didnt have this and no need for injections i trusted his word. I'll regret that for rest of my life.

We had a gender scan a week later i was so sure she was a girl because my pregnancy's are very different between boys and girls and i was exactly same as big sister kaitlin with this little one.. and sure enough at scan in manchester after an hour of drinking water and sittin in loads of diff postions to get her to open her legs... we were told it was a girl... We desided on a Ella- Louise. I had a short cervix that was getting shorter at every 2week scan so they tried to put a stitch in my cervix it failed and my waters went at just 18+3weeks i was devisitated and 3 days later whilst in hospital i went into labour and a fought all day to be given nephedipine the drug that stops labour and eventually got it but sadly my cervix were then left open at 1cm so i knew her fate was to be EXTREAMLY PREMATURE and i just planned and hoped to get to 24weeks. Little did i know that wasnt going to be enough... i was kept in for another 2 days and sent packing i had to return to FAU twice a week for blood, swabs and weekly scan. I was also put on antiobiotics.

I was ok till 24+1 wks apart from still leaking... no sign of infection apart from one bad swab... Scans showed resonable fluid apart from1low one... ON MONDAY 10th April after Easter wkend i went into labour at around lunch time got into labour ward and managed to stop it but in my heart i knew it wasnt long before we'd meet her... so i got put onto antinatle ward and on Tuesday nite at around 3am i woke up soakin i mean totally drenched my waters had just been trickling put this had soaked through my pad and PJ's but i just got changed and got back in bed cos i was half asleep, then again i woke up at 5am soaked through so i thought i tell sumone and she got the doctor whoi was really rude and just said well your waters have gone this is normal ... blah blah blah we''ll scan u 1st thing in morning

so i went to sleep and woke at 9 and i was having few little pains but nohting tomoan about but if im honest i knew then it was all going to kick off. 10o'clock came and still no scan so i moaned and demanded to see doctor, this SHO came in and asked what the problem was i explained and he said oh i didnt relise u'd had prems before i'll jus go and read your notes( i was fuming how dare he come in and not even read my notes first) he asked to check my loss b4 he went and then when he came back id soaked through my trousers again and showed him he said ur going for your scan in 10mins... i rung TErry and said get her now something is wrong...When terry arrived i was already in scan unit jus waitin... but i knew something was wrong so when i went in (bearing in mind ive had over 50 scans) i noticed straight away theri was no fluid around her at all id lost so much so quickly she wasnt able to replace it quick enough... So im beside's myself with worry still have pains now and again...

Gets down to ward and Reg comes to see me and pedi's who happens to be TJ's consultant expalins that were talking days not weeks lie in bed dont get out for anything, but if u got into labour we'll have to transfere you because its better for Ella to be in more regonal unit... so i agreed. I settled and slept a bit but by 3pm i was having regualr contraction about every 6mins so i told them and told them AND SCREAMED at them i evenually got took down to labour ward and cos of gestation couldnt b continuisly monitors and was bein listened in every half hour, but having had 5 c-sections and not being allowd any more drugs to stop labour i was kicking off again cos why was i bein forsed to go through labour knowin id need c-section anyway so 2 hrs passed and id been listen into couple of times all is fine i was told, then they wanted to transfere me when i was contracting every 3-4 mins with risk of ururus rupturing under presser they wanted me to go an hour away in an ambulance cos mycervix has only made minimal changes,

WELL HELP ME SOMEONE cos i aint going cos she's coming really soon... so thats that they listned in at 18.24 and Ella's heart rate sounds sky high to me so when i quized midwife she said no no its fine, then doctor comes in to check and im at u bloody beta tell me wots on that screen so i grabbed it off her and it was 185-210 but thats ok she said its cos ur a little stressed ect.. we'll check again in 15 mins, so 15 mins came im still contracting and cant take during them its agony, and she listnened in and i sid i wanna c and she she it ok i said i wanna f.ing(sorri) and it was 210-250 so i was life get me a doctor now n ella's heartrate didnt come down after that at all and it was another 2 and half hours b4 i was c-sectioned as i went to theata i noticed geen fluid bit smelly nothing like before when it was jus clear. But they said dont worry ur gettin cection now.

Gets into theata everyone already, they bring terry in he sits next to me, ped's are their i knew all the team whihc was great, it took 25mins because of all old scar tissue, and she didnt make a sound the seamed tobe working on her for ages but they fainally got vent in and off she went... cection was awful i kept being sick and in end passed out. so terry went to ring everyone. As i was broght outof threate we saw Ned our peds doctor and he said she was very small at 530g but they had her on vent and st marys rung and are on way x she was born at 8.42 pm

So of i toddled to labour ward and after an hour head consutlant came down with sister were close with adn i thought she's died but she hadnt she'd takin a bad step thou and was having really tough time keepin her stable but st marys will b here soon we'll tell them to bring u on ur bd on way up to ward to see her..

So they did and when i seen her she was so so tiny, she was looking good nice and pink but still very poorly i went bac to my room adn sat waiting news, then at 1.25 they came to get me i could to tell by shelly (sister) things wernt looking good it was rush to get me their and when we did st marys said she's too sick theirs nothing we can do for her she's dying i looked at shelly and said plz their must b something and shelly said im so sorry emma we hav tried everything she's telling us it touch much her heart can cope she's lost half her blood in a bled in her brain which they belive was fatel we got her out for a cuddle and i had hold 1st and she was still alive a gave her a kiss and cuddle and passed her too her daddy then he kissed her and her heart stopped she was prounced at 150pm.

OMG the pain i was still on drugs from c-section and felt like it wasnt real Terry was histericly crying his eye's i asked shelley to ring his mum and dad and explain the situtaion and ask them to come up. Which they did as minister arrived to bless he, we had tiny service of blessing her. We were then allowed to sit and cuddle her all nite and had some procious photos taken of her and us. We left her at 5.35am and declinned an autopsie as we knew what had done this. Next monring was the worst cos i woke up and for slipt secound i forgot then my whole world came crashing down. i rung every1 and told them everyone was crying. my sister in law came and terry went home for change of clothes, lindsey helped me get ready and washed i was still very sore. They took drain out and eventually after 2 hrs i was readyto go to scbu and sit with ehr sio i to linz with me as i didnt wanna go alone and terry wasnt bac yet, he arrived short after to a hesterical me rocking in a rocking chair holing Ella, with his mum and nan and my friend cheryal i washed and dressed my little princess and spent time with her cuddling and kissing her constantly also took some more pics. Than i had to go cos i was in aggony so got wheeled bac to room and terry stayed with Ella.

Next few days a blur i stayed over on Thurs on Fri had discussion with ped's and she had 3 massive in fections along with her bled in her head and that their was nothing more that could have been done, but we've since found out Ella died from being in severe distress in womb ie 6pm-840pm and had swalled huge amunts of meconuim and that i had givin her no chance.

So i left on day nite and visited every day over weekend which on my head in cos it was a specialroom fortis yet on deliervy where u could ehre people in labour and new borns crying. So we register her birth and death on Monday one of the hardest things, then i went funearl home and arragened pick up and organised funeral... but they could get her til wed so continued to visit at hosptail til then. She had plenty of visiters.

Then we seen Wed and Thurs at funeral home but due to ehr size she couldnt b embarmed so we knew our time was limited and on thurs lunch time i got a call saying it was time to close... we'd alreadt saidwe wanted to close her and put her in her bed so went and dont it i took more pics and kissed her all over xxx

Then on Friday tea-time we awaited the arrival of her to come home for weekend for funreal on Monday and she did and i spent time with ehr every day over weekend i have photo's and event thou she was sealed i couldnt help myself i opened her up on fri nite,sat morning,sat nite and sunday monring i didnt move her just gave her a kiss. But Sunday nite cam and i really wanted a cuddle and i didnt want any regrets so i desided id open her up and have a cuddle Terry didnt want too cos bearing in mind she's been in heat now for 3 days adn it was smelling real bad so he went out and i took her out the stentch was un-bearle i ahd to get my mum to opens all doors and at first i was shocked bcos she's changed aloton ehr body and arms and legs(i wont say to much but imsure u get the picture) so i quickly wrapped her up and looked at just her face and kissed her for over an hour. Im so glad i did its a memory i'll ner forget for all the right things not bad.

Funeral came and it wasnt til flowers arrived i acutally relised SHIT this is it, funeral cars were booked for 9.10 it was 8.45 and i got her coffin and sat it on myknew and jus cried and cried and cired and all this time more family were arriving then i was sat saying im not ready i need another day but mymum said to emma u will never b ready and was right so i got up and tried to be strong while her daddy carried her to the car....

The church was awful i cried all way in we had fly by celine dion played and i read a poem and prayers were said and everyone was crying myakaitlin was so distright...as we left terry carried her out i cried so hard and we had 'you'll be in my heart' by phil collins played on way out, i tried to sing for her but i just broke down. So did Terry and everyone. On her coffin in their i had i pic of her and an i love you pink hellium ballon above her xxx

We then got in cars and headed to cematery, Jac asked as we passed macdonalds and i relised then he hadnt a clue what was really going on... we got their and i was in tears they took all her beauitful flowers out and placed then close and then we got out and we said we wanted to put ehr in (IM CRYING NOW IT HURTS SO MUCH) so we lowered her in i couldnt let go of straps i sat on my knee's over her and i swear i wanted to get in with her i really did, but sumone helped me to my feet and we asked everyone to wear a pink aqua rose botton hole so put in grave with Ella instead of dirt i didnt want that.. so we all un pinned and placed then in with her i then popped her ballon and placed that on top as well. We said good by then and headed to wake....

We miss her soo much xxx

My doctor worked my due date as 4th June but they got it at 5th June so when they scanned i measured 6w4d when i should have been 7weeks by their calculation but they said thats fine anything up to 4.7days either side of due date is normal apparently the .7 bit depends on when u done the baby dance either nite or day LOL. She measured 1.1cm aww how cute and very tiny. Good strong heartbeat. She looks like a peanut according to Terry. I managed to get a lovely pic cos i know all the staff. They were like 'ok we'll do pic but if anyone asks we'll say u must have done it urself ' LOL i prob could print it myself amount of scans ive had LOL. So im getting scanned again at 12 wks. which is week after wedding so that will be nice. Also got consultant the wk before the wedding. Which by the way is only 29 sleeps.

LILY-MAE ELLA POLLITT

Were heading for 32wks but due to a few probs 1 being gestational diebeties and other being placenta previa acctrea grade 4 inward growth and the fact im on my heprin im likely to bleed huge amounts so thier now saying 28wks+ to 32weeks max, but im fine as long as its no less than 28wks cos ive had 3 around that stage anyways.

So here's my scan pics from my private scan...

HER LIL FACE

Between her legs lol

Im dreading this next week cos this is the week that my waters have gone in last 2 pregnancys so hopefully they wont go this time if treatment is working which i know it is as my cervix are nice and long and no bleeding or funneling.

NEW PIC OF BUMP 18W

I have no idea why its blury but anyways thats me at moment, roll on week 19 and get past this awful week im on computer rest this week basicly same as bed rest but i sit at computer all day LOL xxx

JUST OUT OF HOSPITAL 18+2W 5TH JAN

Well as it says ive just got out of hosptial today from being addmitted yesterday lunch. I noticed at around 11am i'd started to bleed so took myself off to FAU. Had scan as soon as i got thier and it was due the placenta bein so low as its totally covering the cervix,all settled ova nite. Lily weigh's a whoppin 9.5oz already. My cervix was 4.1cm 3 wks ago and on yesterdays scan its shortened to 3.4cm still in normal rang but with reducing by 0.6 n 3wks my consultant now expects me to go into prem labour in round 8-9wks. Still no sign of funneling which i great. Jus gotta take it so easy and do next nothing 8-9 wks puts me at 26-27wks my personal goal is 28wks. Ive not life anything heavier than my full kettle thats gonna b tough but i'll do it.

It finally hit me that omg im gonna have a baby soon AAHHH GGGRRR... SO yeh i have another scan on 21st Jan so we'll see how cervix is playing then. Seeing consultant every week as well which is great. Got GTT on Monday so thats another thing to do, i guess that why she's such a good weight already got of my blood sugar. Im getting steriods at 2.3w, 27.5w and 31.5w Lily is defo goin to be a march baby i jus hope its last 2 wks and not the 1st 2.

LOVE TO YOU ALL AND ROLL ON WK 19 XXX

OK SO THIS IS ME 18+6DAYS

Ok so yah im 18+6 todat so 19wks tomoro cant bloody wait i tell you. Ive been having a few BH this week but nothing much really, but i do get this feeling that things are going to start happening. I have consultant this afternoon at 2.30pm good news this week is that i had a repeat GD and it came back normal and i have no Glucose in mywee so no idea whats gone on but its gone now. Mind you have made all the diet change's they asked of me so hopefully that's done the trick by the look of things. As u all may know from my scare last friday of bleeding that was coming from the placenta and on that scan Lily weighed 9.5oz which they were super pleased with apparently the avarage is only 7oz.

My consultant will scan me today she always does at appointments, my cervix was a 3.4cm which was a good length however it had shortened from 4.1cm in 3 wks i dont expect their to be much change really cos i only had one donenon friday and even if it's few mm well diff peoplescan and u can always get a few mm's in difference. She's given me a speculum today as she wants to feel the texture of cervix so not looking forward to that one but its gotta be done.

Personally i think im bloody huge i cant belvie im gonna b growing for another 8-9wks if i get to my goal of 28 if i get to theirs jus another 7-8 crazy stuff. Its very strange its finally hit me that OMG im going to be having a baby quite soon really its madness.

Got my pram yesterday its an icandy apple in pink and black, and my maxi cosy pink car seat clips onto the base unit its lovely.Just hope this lil one gets to use it. Im feeling all worried now as i get closer and closer.

Been feeling some great movements over last few days Lily defo like ice lolly's and i dont mind them too LOL.

Anyways now ive rammbled on for say 20mins i'll leave u all in peace xxxx

15th Jan 2008 @10.24

Update

I am writing this update on behalf of Emma who has asked me to update for her

Yesterday tea time unfortunatly Emma's waters broke, she was taken to hospital and a sample taken showed that it was her waters that had gone, at the moment it is looking like a UTI ( urinry tract infection ) that caused them to break.

Her cervix was still clossed, she is also without pain which is a good sign .

She is at the moment waiting to to go down for a scan

Lilly is still doing good .

The next 48 hours are going to be very tough.

For those who know Emma this is one of her worst nightmares after what she has been through and really doesnt deserve this AT ALL

and i ask that love and prays are sent to get Emma AND Lilly to get through this

she is able to read your messages but unable to do updates on her computer at hospital.

updates will continue to follow there progress .

Love n Hugs to Emma and Lilly xxx

UPDATE NOW IM HOME THURSDAY 17TH JAN

Well first of let me say a massive thank you too you all for kind words and message's they were very much appricated....
So i got home yesterday afternoon but to be honest way feeling a bit numb with it all and jus needed to getmy head around last few dasys and mite i add im now 20WEEKS TODAY....WOOHOO.

MONDAY 14TH JAN
So i went in i went to ward d which is our gyne ward but when i got thier they said that with me being so close ot 20weeks i was to go down to delievry this shocked me as delivery are normally pains in the butt as far as getting in thier under 20wks. So anhyways down i went and i nearly had a heart attack they only want me to go into the oasis room which is their delivery bereavement room i spent 2 days in that room with ella after she died i couldnt belive it well i point blank refused. So they took me to a normal delivery room i got the normal rubbish or the midwife and doctor 'are yuo sure its ur waters love, it mite jus be bit of wee' i was like ' ERM NO ITS MY WATERS IM NOT STUPID' so they desided to exam me with speculum and belfore she even got the speculum in i flooded all over and she was quite shocked and quickly replyed with 'oh this is looking like SPROM' to the midwife. so she continued to exam me but very gental as of low placenta. cervix closed and clear fluid drainging. so she quickly confirmed SPROM they listened in allw as well i had no temp or anything and no paisn so after a few hrs they shipped me up to the maternity ward i got my own room LOL. they also took heaps of bloods and sited a canula. Said id get a scan the next day.


TUESDAY 15TH JAN
Ok so Tuesday morning the docs came in and basicly jus said id have a scan and that i mite be able to get a stitch or a nothing form of it done if my cervix was too soft. So i waited and waited and WAITED by 5pm i was totally losing the plot crying and jus a mess in general and guess what i wasnt gettin scan til Wednesday cos they couldnt fit me in i coudlnt belive it. I need to see her. Still leaking thou by late nite time but more iof a trickle compared to Monday nites flood gates opening LOL. Results from urine colection showed i have UTI.

WEDNESDAY 16TH JAN
Ok so i got my scan at 10am it was done by doctors and ni surprise's i had reduced fluid but still quite a modorate amount considering, Lily was laid rite in bottom of my pelvis and they thought she mite be pluggin the hoel, best news eva... THAT PLACENTA PREVIA WELL ITS NOT its not even that low, thou it is still over my scars. I was so pleased about that. Lily weighed 13oz which i thought was bit on the low side but they explained it can b hard to get good measurements when uve got reduced fluid. Cervix was 2.5cm which i was super pleased about in privious situition with Ella and Tj i had no cervix when waters actually went so im pleased with that, they desided not to do a stitch as they felt it mite aggrevate the cervix into labour. They desied to place a very small elastic band around my cervix obviuosly it isnt a normal band but it looked like one to me LOL. Spoke with consutlant for a good hour after scan and she thinks that its the UTI thats caused them to go. We went over what had happened when they went ;ast 2 times and what id expericened.

1.When my waters had gone in past my cervix was gone
2.Pains started with-in 24hrs of them going.

Since i have ntiher of these She thinks my body is simply not ready to delivery as its showing no signs of it and i have to agree i really dont think she's on her way. We made a plan if anything should start to happen then i'll b given nephedpine and then kept on maintanance dose. Im for steriods on 14th Feb anyways i can go home but i have to rest rest REST no driving ect... it could seal over however this has not happened before so i dont expect it too. the band will simply slow the flow im jus trickling all time no gush's their for allowing for maximum growth.I have to attend FAU every sat for bloods and every wed for hvs and blooda and to see ehr every week also and for scan every monday.

So thats it really, oh my bloods came back with some bad antibodies so i had to have MORE BLOOD (not sure where thier getting it from they've taken so much) so they sent that to manchester and basicily thats it.

Playing the waiting game now but u can all play it with me my consultant is confident we can still aim for 26-27wks so lets jus hope she's rite. The stupid reg kept going on about how 24wks is viabilty but for me its not ive ahd 24weeker and she died so thats jus not the case i want tog et to 26wks i can cope with that. So bring on the next 6wks.

Sorry for late update but when i got home yesterday i was in no state to come on and update my head was jus pickled but now im feelin much better and level headed im sure you all understand
Thanks again to you all. xxx

UPDATE 21 WKS 2DAY 24TH JAN

AS it says YAY IM 21WKS... Had scan today and all was well. cervix is 2.3cm which is good. I had a lil more fluid than last week but its still very boarderline. Lily-Mae played well for camera this week so got some cute pics, Also check that bump LOL. I love the feet pic its soo cute. got next scan next Thurs and Consultant on Wednesday and bloods this Saturday and she weighed a good 15oz today and the scanner lady was confident tshe got good measurements but said they dont like to measure weekly, so not to be surprized if she's only put on a couple oz next week cos im being scanned so much. But im happy wiht that anyways, strange thing is ella was 1lb 1oz so i can almost visulise how big lily really is which is weird,

GOOD LUCK TO YOLLTHIS WEEK XXXX

4D SCAN AT 22+5 & 23WK UPDATE

So thats that, im 22+3 today but jus calling this my 23wks update, ive got consutlant this afternoon but we'll jus be continuing everything. Ive got steriods next Thursday and Friday cant belvie that mylil girl we'll be here soon its crazy, i also cant belive how alike Lily is to Ella she looks so like her special big sister. Scan was totally amazing,i saw her hair, hands,feet,face, licking her hand, smiling, frowning, even saw her have a wee LOL. Booked in for anotehr one in 4 wks time but all depends on if im still pregnant then or if Lily has arrived.

If consultant is rite (which i dont to belive it but she prob will be) then Lily will be here in 3-4 wks i happen to feel like i mite get to 28wks i dunno why i jus have this gut feeling that she'll be a 28weeker but what do i no im only the mother. I do think i'll labour in week 26-27 but hopefully they'll manage to stop it with nephedpine and then i'll go on late 27wk or early 28wks. FINGERS CROSSED. But god i cant belvei its so soon time has gone so bloody fast.

At last week consultant appointment Lily weighed 15oz which i was pleased with and sadly my cervix had gone down to 1.9cm and was now in the frontal postion (so its getting ready) and that was last wed so i'll find out today if its any shorter which going off the last 4wks it will prob have shortned down to 1.4cm-1.5cm. But im expecting that so im not worried about that really. They are doing weight checks every other week so i'll find out how much Lily weighs again next week.

THATS IT HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL LOVE TO YOU ALL AND YOUR SPECIAL BUMPS AND ANGELS XXXX

UPDATE 22ND MARCH 2008

Ok well 1st of all huge THANK YOU TO LINDSEY for keeping youall informed. THANX hun. So as you all know Lily-Mae was born on 26th feb, after meconium and a severe infection of womb called chromnioamnitis which made both me and Lily very ill. Afer birth Lily suffered a grade 4 bleed and she also had a severe infection which we now know was bactrial MENINGITIS caused by group strep b.She also had a Huge PDA which needed treatment.

DAY 5

So were now on day 25. She is currentl 805g(yesterdays weight) she is in HDU ON CPAP in air has been for over a week. She had probs with her billyrubin but that has fixed itself and she's is normal colour now. She is still stuck an hour away from home due to being under 1kg, they cant wean her off cpap till she's 1kg so we have 195g to go. they have put her feeds up to try help get to 1kg as her weight stayed static on fridays weigh in even thou she had gained a 100g over the week. Lily has several cysts on right side where the blled was which the are keeping an eye on as she may develop hydrocelphcus.We have daily cuddle's with Lily and she's even wearing a vest she is very very stable and doing well she just needs too grow.

Having few probs with doctors everyone has a different view of what they want from her but hopefully we'll ge tthat sorted today.
