Keeping the Faith

Im a mom of a 32weeker babies.

My first pregnancy was 2015. I was diagnosed with pregancy condition - placenta previa totalis. I had a severe bleeding episode thus an emergency ceasarian operation had to be performed. Sept 27 I gave birth to a baby girl named Euanne Carleigh weighing only 1440grams. She stayed in NICU for about 2.5months. We were able to bring her home but with oxygen support for 24hrs and needs to be fed via tube. We are forever thankful for being her parents even for just awhile. We are blessed that we experienced how to be a family of 3 even for just more than 3months and we were able to celebrate Christmas and New year with her.

Year 2018 (2nd pregnancy). Last Dec 6 I gave birth to a baby boy named Rafael Carlisle via repeat ceasarian operation with birth weight of only 1290grams. Prior delivery i was on hospital confinement (complete bed rest) for more than one month due to bleeding episodes because of my condition again - placenta previa totalis. I also had a history of blood sugar elevations during the late second trimester and was diagnosed as a case of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) controlled with insulin.

Initially my attending physician scheduled my ceasarian operation Dec 26 at 35weeks and 1day but during my routine ultrasound it shows that the diastolic blood flow has increased and my baby is not so active at 32weeks thus she decided to make the operation earlier.

I am still on recovery stage and little man is still in NICU waiting for him to gain his weight and to overcome the conditions of a preemie baby. I will claim that Jesus will hear our prayers and we will bring home a well baby few more weeks from now.
