At 31 weeks we found out our baby’s growth had stopped at around 28 weeks, I was immediately admitted and given steroid injections to prepare his tiny lungs for an emergency section. I was on heart medication at the time, which they stopped after realising it was this preventing him from growing (the guilt from this will haunt me forever).
After 4 days he has grown a tiny bit, so I was allowed home after agreeing to daily visits to be monitored. 2 weeks, 14 ctgs and 4 scans later he still wasn’t doing so well. So I was admitted back into hospital to wait for a section. At 33+6 my beautiful baby was born weighing 3lbs 1oz. He did us so so proud fighting every single day. Now a year later he’s still quite small but absolutely perfect.
