Yesterday my daughter and daughter-in-law were busy grumbling about how slow their first house purchase is taking and wishing it would speed up as they signed their contract 5 weeks ago.

Today my sweet DiL, who’s carry DD baby went into spontaneous labour and after waters broke and baby was upside down with umbilical cord separating, she had an emergency C section and then at 13:00 baby Henry was born at 24.9 weeks, weighing 1lb 6oz.

We are all hoping for a good outcome in the end, please pray to whatever God or spiritual being or keep your fingers crossed that baby Henry comes through this.

DD and DiL in shock and baby about to be transferred to a Neonatal Unit in a hospital nearly 40 miles away. This is their first baby and first try at IVF. He’s so tiny (I couldn’t see him but DD sent photos) 😒

Do you think it was all the stress of the house they are buying?
Praying for strength for you all to come through this, especially baby Henry of course πŸ«‚

Wishing baby Henry and his mums all the love and luck in the world
SCBU was genuinely the toughest,scariest time of my life BUT my boy came home after 10 weeks and is the 38 year old dad of 3 beautiful girls.
Support and treatment has come on in leaps and bounds since then….so be cautiously optimistic and take care of each other
