This picture was taken when Mia was 30hrs old. The weary smile on my face doesn’t quite portray how happy I was inside as 30hrs earlier, things could have gone very differently.
Mia was a tiny baby, 4lb 10. With that in mind the midwife was concerned she wouldn’t be strong enough to open my cervix. My water broke on a tues & we gave her the benefit of the doubt but by the Wednesday evening despite her being in the perfect place & so low down, she still hadn’t managed it. The decision was made to induce me to help her along but she disliked that even more. With every contraction her heart rate dropped. On the 3rd one midwife Katie who was taking care of me at the time pressed the panic alarm & within 15 mins I was rushed out, prepped & delivered Mia via an emergency C section. It wasn’t what I’d planned but thanks to my hypnobirthing despite the madness & panic, I was able to calmly keep my breathing technique & accept whatever is best for Mia just do it! 2hrs later I was alone with Gorks & Mia blissfully happy in a ward when I suddenly felt extremely unwell. Gorka got a doctor and she took 1 look at me & again pressed the panic button. I was having a hemorrhage. A big one & I lost a lot of blood. I don’t remember much other than having around 9 doctors in the room, some injecting me, hooking me to drips, physically pulling clots out of me & one comforting Gorks who was beside himself in the corner. I woke in another room with Gorks & my family there, Mia sleeping soundly & a lovely midwife named Di who was checking my notes. The trauma was over & thanks to our NHS & incredible hospital staff we were ok. I’m fully aware for some people it’s a different outcome & I feel incredibly lucky that me & Mia are healthy & healed. My mum moved in with me while Gorks was away & has been incredible! If I can be half the mum she is to me I’ll be happy! I’m going to remind Mia of this story any time she has doubts about what she can achieve in life. The odds were against her from the start, but she’s been a little fighter from day 1. Feeds perfectly & is gaining weight like I do on an all inclusive holiday! We’re SO proud of her, she’s our little soldier & I’m so Grateful ❤️

@glouiseatkinson Such a heart warming story. It’s always daunting for a first child. No info on what we are supposed to do or feel. Everyone is different to and manage all things differently. You should be so proud of yourself. When I had my last child, oh dear that was scary. Everything was fine, pregnancy , birth. Then two hours later I had no pulse. I was rushed to the hospital. A blockage was found, I lost a lot of blood and they wanted to do a blood transfusion, but my midwife said I was strong , just give me time. I came round. Had a beautiful little boy. Unfortunately I found it hard to feel anything for him. I was tired and weak. Maybe a couple of days later I knew I couldn’t carry on. Of course he’s my son, and I managed. Seriously though if I didn’t have the love of my husband and his wonderful words, it would have taken longer to get to grips with things. You are extremely lucky with Gorka in your life. ............. so scary I had an out body experience. Told my husband and everything I said happened. Weird and wonderful 😊

What a scary experience for you all @glouiseatkinson ? so glad you both are safe & well! Now enjoy ur wee family ? Mia is just gorgs like her mummy ? I to had an awful exp with my lst baby,from almost loosing her at 18wks to having bed rest for 6wks until i was 24wks & able to get a suture in to keep her safe! Had numerous hosp check-ups scans etc. Then at 34wks started showing signs of early labour & no special care cots in my nearest 2 hospitals ? had to go by ambulance to Dublin!! Stayed a few days getting more scans,bloods etc. They sent me back to my hospital & she came 2 days later at 34wks weighing 5lb 5oz & just perfect as she was a little fighter like Mia,all odds stacked against her from 18wks but is now a 13yr old & i feel so blessed & Lucky to have a healthy girl after all we'd been through xoxo

This is such a great post @glouiseatkinson I also had an emergency C-section (although my daughter weighed 8lbs 9oz! ☺️) at 2 weeks overdue....inducing which I hated & a horrendous 27 hour labour! I’d planned a peaceful water birth I my mind but hey! As a result of a quick C-section a day later I was in pain with a twisted bowel! It took me a while to recover, not just physically, but mentally. For a while I felt like I’d failed having a C-section ? silly I know but that’s how I felt. My daughter Pixie is a happy, healthy & very cheeky 3 year old now & I look back at how much I was in bits for a good few months after she was born & just think it doesn’t matter now! Enjoy being a mummy, Mia is a real sweetie ?xx

@glouiseatkinson Firstly Gemma, congratulations to you and Gorka on your beautiful little baby girl! Secondly, it is a miracle when women go through such a difficult time and against many odds, still get through that darkest of tunnels and still get to celebrate - the NHS doesn't get enough praise and it's lovely to know that they looked after you so well. Now you can enjoy all the 'firsts' and bond with your precious little girl. Thank you for sharing your story especially because it wasn't what you expected because younger women should be made aware that it's not all rainbows and unicorns. Not to scare them but to prepare them. Enjoy every moment as a new family! 🙏💞🌻🐝🍀🌸

Like I’ve always said on all your posts over the years that you @glouiseatkinson are an amazing person and you definitely deserve the absolute best! When I read your post the other day about you and @gorka_marquez going out for a very short time together without Mia and there were some people who were judging you for doing that so soon and leaving Mia. well, I hope whoever they are feel bad and guilty like they tried to make you feel! This post just proves just how incredible you are and you really do have the perfect little family and there’s no doubt about it, you will be just as amazing as a mum like your mum was to you ❤️

I had a Postpartum hemorrhage at home 13 days after giving birth to my daughter, I have never seen so much blood and I will never forget the look on the midwives face when she arrived at my house and saw what state I was in, I was rushed off in an ambulance but like you I just had to switch my mind into a calm state and let the doctors work their magic and save me from what could have lost me my life and left my baby girl without a mother. If i ever have anything wrong with me now i just remind mystlf it can never be as bad as that experience and i managed to get through that ok. Thank God we are ok and live to tell ❤️. X
