Our journey with extremely preterm baby - Part 1

#PrematurityBirthAwarenessMonth #OurPersonalJourneyWithPretermBaby #Part1

We got married in May, 2013 and got pregnant (I was physically and of course he was mentally) in May 2015.

We both always managed the challenges during pregnancy and after that all alone except few emergency hospital admission process. Elders in our family had their own family commitments and problems. So they could not able to support us properly during our preterm journey to till now.
Due to both side family problems, I was in much stress during my pregnancy. Me and my hubby supported each other. He was under learning process to support his partner. I was in 5th mnth of pregnancy. Took scan. It was stated as polyhydrominos. We went for doc visit with scan report. Before visiting doc we just googled to know what is polyhydrominos??? It is specified as pre term chances are there.




During the doc visit, we raised question as "Doc is there any chances of preterm birth"?. She scolded me stating "Is Google doctor or me? Who said all these stupid things?".
Doctor was very known person to our family. And she handled 4 deliveries at our family. All 4 normal vaginal birth. So we trusted her words so much.
We fixed date for our valaikappu which will happen at 7th mnth . We booked mandapam. Purchased saree. And of course I had many dreams about my valaikappu. From my 5th mnth onwards I started dreaming about colors of bangles I wear,how many bangles and so on. Each day I kept on talking about my valaikappu.
