And then it started to go wrong.........

Febuary 17th 2011 was meant to be one of the most exciting days of my life. It was my 20 week scan ( well i was about 22 weeks they scanned me late!) and Mr H and I, plus my 3 boys all went to the hospital to see the baby and find out if the boys were going to have a baby brother or a little sister!. The scan started off so well, it was the same sonographer as my 12 week scan and she remembered me! SO she zoomed in straight to the heart and showed me! After about 15 minutes of measuring and all that stuff they do she turned round and said ' so are we wanting to know what we are having?' I had it in my head we were having another boy which was the plan anyway! I wanted my youngest son to have a little brother that he could look after as my eldest 2 are extremely close and tend to leave him out! So I said its ok I know we are having a boy. Nice lady looked at me, laughed and said ' although we cant say 100% as sometimes we do get it wrong, you need to start buying pink!!' I was gobsmacked as was Mr H and the 3 boys! Then her face turned a bit serious. ' Mrs Humphrey you have a grade 4 placenta praevia' I had no idea what this meant! She explained that the placenta was completely covering my cervix so I would probably have to have a c section. I explained I was having one anyway as I had 2 previous c sections. So we left the scan feeling excited about having a girl and I didnt think much of what she said about the Placenta Praevia.

This is where it all started to go wrong................ to be continued as I am already getting upset just thinking about what happens next.
