Leanne's story
Willow born at 30 weeks
Williow was born by emergency c section at 30 weeks in January 2014. A year ago tonight I was going around my normal nighttime rituals as I had done every right the past 8 weeks!! Awaiting to see which member of the lovely ward 19's midwifery team were looking after me blissfully unaware that just a few hours later I would be making the phone call to Chris to say he needed to be down the hospital and fast!!
Hard to believe our little warrior Willow Faith is a year old tomorrow!!! It's been a
roller coaster of a year but Happy 1st Birthday baby girl we love you so so much!!!

Charlie born at 34 weeks
As Charlie is turning two a week today, his journey into this world is even more on my mind than usual. I may seem to go on and on about #ppromawareness but after going through it with Charlie and suffering PTSD and PND. I believe it's so vital that more funding and knowledge is raised on PPROM (basically when your waters break early) My gorgeous 'nearly 2' boy is such a fighter and here is why. During the middle of 2014 I was in the early stages of my pregnancy. I started to get recurrent water infections, leading to frequent hospital stays and a catheter needing to be fitted.

Oliver Johnson born at 34 weeks
My waters broke in the 18th week of my pregnancy, on the 21 May 2015. Initially told it was normal discharge and nothing to worry about, it was only picked up at the 20 week scan by the sonographer. We still didn’t know how serious this was though until we reached maternity triage and the doctors and midwives treated us like we had already lost our baby. When after my examination we were shown into a private room away from all other patients we knew this was really bad. I was informed that most people give birth within 48 hours of their waters going, the majority of the remainder only last a week.

Lucy's story
Josh born at 35 weeks
My first pregnancy my son was born at 29 weeks due to pre-eclampsia. He weighed 2lb 4 and spent 6 weeks in SCBU (Special care baby unit). He is now a happy healthy 8year old with no long term problems and mild asthma.
Myself and my partner decided to try for a baby the beginning of this year and we're delighted to find out in Feb we were pregnant. After previous complications I was assured I would be monitored well. The start of the pregnancy was perfect no issues at all...
