Read it in one shot. As I was reading your posts - I kept asking myself am I reading your story or mine!. Most of the parts match. I delivered twin girls weighing 900 gms and 1 Kg at 30 weeks after being on a month long bedrest in the hospital with all the machines attached to monitor my 2 girls. Went thru the NICU scares as well. I still do not know why my case turned out to be such!<br /><br />I am glad that our babies are fighters and have come out of whatever life threw at them.<br /><br />Good luck and I think all this just made me a better and a stronger mother!<br /><br />--AA_Mom<br /><br />AA_Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567530816922483398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-85757141464432657842013-04-24T23:33:42.215+08:002013-04-24T23:33:42.215+08:00It's been years since I commented on your blog...It's been years since I commented on your blog. I spoke to you when I was in Singapore on an official trip remember? I didn't realise then I was pregnant. To cut a long story short, severe pre e, doctors induced labour, still born baby boy weighing 450 gms. A year later after all sorts of precautions, I developed similar problems and delivered a baby boy weighing 650 gms. He lived an hour. A year after that after taking even more precautions, I developed the same problems again ( gestational bp , the worst word in my dictionary). Emergency c - section, a boy again. He weighed 950 gms at birth. He was in the NICU for nearly 2 months and came home weighing a hefty 1.2 kilos. He celebrated his 3rd birthday yesterday. He is a super active chatterbox. He is also super super scrawny but we hope he will catch up sometime soon! You know I am coming to Singapore tomorrow to visit my brother. Maybe we could chat/meet. I am sure there is loads we could talk about!The Inquisitive Akkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03586477553067776554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-12312047001848956512013-04-23T03:32:10.068+08:002013-04-23T03:32:10.068+08:00It's 3am, I stumbled upon your blog while goog...It's 3am, I stumbled upon your blog while googling about our case. just gave birth to 1.2kg baby, 32 wks. Your blog gave us so much hope. After crying for 2-3 days already, today me and my hubby had genuine smile looking at how healthy and xena seems. Thank you for sharing. When my baby comes out from nicu and is big enough I'd want him to meet xena. <br /><br />Piggy (stupigity.com)Piggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961300142050342513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-19215443805667523762011-09-21T15:46:25.935+08:002011-09-21T15:46:25.935+08:00Read ur 3 posts in 1 go.....have no words to say.....Read ur 3 posts in 1 go.....have no words to say....cried tho.<br /><br />Tek care.

I could not stop myself from writing few words here because I also delivered recently and to read what you have gone through, is overwhelming. I had a normal delivery and yet little things make me so worried but after reading all this, I am going to appreciate things more and try to be less worried. May god bless little Xena :-)Reema Sahayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287414476458432950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-39247865998691675772011-09-15T15:02:13.149+08:002011-09-15T15:02:13.149+08:00Hi Sayesha,
I got the link to your blog post from...Hi Sayesha,<br /><br />I got the link to your blog post from your good friend , Srividya, who's my friend from college. Being in the middle of such an episode, your blogpost has been like a breather for me. I delivered a baby boy on July 4th at 25 weeks, weighing 850 grams. Like in your case even we were asked to let go of the child when my waters broke. It ws vey hard for me to let go when I felt the lil one kicking inside me even after quite a lot of amniotic fluid had leaked out. After spending the entire night awake and uncomfortable on my left side, I went into labour the very next morning. That was indeed the longest night of my life! We were quite bewildered and even braced ourselves for the unfortunate outcome. But a stroke of luck hit us when a phone call to our family physician gave us hope. This was my first biological child and we had no idea about pre-term babies at all! <br />Our baby is now 2 months old and has just reached a gestation age of 36 weeks. He's still in the NICU. I travel 2 hours everyday to the hosp to be by his side for half hour or so (That's the max they'd allow me. I wish I could spend the entire day there!) He's had his ups and downs with sepsis, chronic lung disease and ROP( retinopathy of prematurity). Slowly stabilizing but still has a lot of growing up to do! :) Like you said, as parents, we have to be positive and strong for our tiny angels. <br />Wishing you,Viv and Xena the very best and lots of love n prayers for the lil one. I'll certainly keep you all in my prayers. Take care.<br /><br />Warm regards,<br />ChaitraChaitra Bahumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037210131453599087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-37489092031610628552011-07-25T05:05:01.062+08:002011-07-25T05:05:01.062+08:00Have been reading you forever but have never comme...Have been reading you forever but have never commented.
