Hi, my name is Jade Marie and I fell pregnant back in January 2017. Everything was running smoothly up until I turned 23 weeks. It was then I started losing fluids, and my mum had to rush me to hospital at 24+3 as I had a bout of reduced movements but as soon as they listened to my little girl's heartbeat, they said everything was fine. Then 2 weeks later my mum had to rush me back to the hospital as I had reduced movements again, but also back pain as well. But with only being 26+3, they could only listen in on the heartbeat but with my little girl being fine they still said I was peeing myself and said it was also discharge with me having extra hormones in my body. So I thought ok, I trust you guys, so off home I went. I then went for my glucose tolerance test and my 28 week scan where I was then told my placenta didn't look right but that it didn't affect my daughter at all so I thought ok good, I could breathe again. I then got home, had something to eat, took a quick bath and went to bed. I wasn't feeling well but was still having to visit the hospital that I'd transferred to on a daily basis to be hooked up to the monitor due to having reduced movements. I then got to 29 weeks and by this point I knew I had severe pre-eclampsia, yet nobody was listening to me so I took myself to hospital and told them that they needed to admit me as I knew something was wrong. Well, little did I know that I did indeed have severe pre-eclampsia to the point my little girl was then born by emergency c-section, 11 weeks early weighing 895g (1lb 15oz) and she battled through a bleed on the brain and sepsis too. She still has her issues with her ears and her legs and muscles within her legs and ankles too, but she suprised us all by only spending 6+2 days in NICU. Well, that was nearly 3 years ago and she still to this day surprises me with everything she does and I coudn't be any prouder.
