But wouldn't you know it – that night I woke up at about 1am with another hefty bleed. I tried keeping calm but as it wasn't stopping we drove to the hospital. BB was a champ, getting roused from her sleep with no fuss ready to help mama – her only request being we listened to The Yellow Submarine in the car.
A few night's stay and a 5-hour iron infusion and I'm home again on bed-rest, feeling fine but a little anxious of when the next bleed may be and what it will entail.
So for now I'm signing off and will continue with this story after the birth of this little babe, hopefully in no less than 6 weeks.

ReplyDeleteThinking good thoughts for you Anna with the safe arrival of your babe.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you. Hope the remaining weeks of your pregnancy are smooth and safe.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you-really wishing you & little babe well-positive vibes coming your way from me in South Africa x
ReplyDeleteI have read your blog for a long time, but don't know if I've ever commented. I am sending you my best joyful wishes for the coming weeks and thanking you for sharing your story, as hard as it may be.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you Anna.
I'll be praying for you Anna! I hope you and your little one will have a safe delivery : )
ReplyDeleteGood luck Anna! I spent 6 months of my last pregnancy on full bed rest (after my 2nd child was stillborn) and it flew by! I hope the next month or so is full of sleepy days and good books! x
ReplyDeleteAll four of you are in my thoughts. I hope you can use this rest time to internalise and create some calm before baby arrives. I'm so glad to hear you have great feelings about your OB - I have no doubt your birth will be a profoundly beautiful experience.
ReplyDeleteBest and warmest wishes for the remainder of your pregnancy - can't wait to hear your baby news! (actually... I can wait - stay put bubba!! ).
Lots of love to you, Anna xx
P.S - the drawings and the photos below are just beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of warm thoughts to you and your baby...
ReplyDeleteMay I hold your hand from across the ocean, Anna? I remain confident that all will be well for you and your beautiful family but can totally identify with your anxiety.
ReplyDeleteYour baby is going to be so LOVED....
Hugs,
Stephanie
I will be thinking of you and sending happy, strong, calming thoughts your way! Can't wait to meet your new little adventurer on the flip side!
ReplyDeleteAnna, that is wonderful and reassuring news about your OB. I'll be thinking of you and your babe over the next (at least!) 6 weeks or so. Sending you calm and positive vibes dear Anne and looking forward to hearing your wonderful news, when it comes. Take care of yourself and little babe. Who will be called...BB2? Perhaps Rosie will become SB (sister bear)? ; )
ReplyDeleteStay put little babe. xx
Take care of you and your indwelling bub. Wishing you peaceful, restful days.
ReplyDeleteBest of restful peace in preparation for a lovely calm birth, however baby comes out. Goodluck!!!

Dear Anna, I´ve been away from the blog world lately and today I came to visit yours, which I´ve always loved. I now read about the challenging situation you are in and wanted to share with you, that I´ve had two beautiful homebirths, my son is now almost two years old and my baby girl almost four months. Your story of Rosie´s birth was one of the first homebirth stories I ever read, and it inspired me very much. I thank you for that and I wish you the best, and send you lots of happy blessings from a warm, full of love little house in Chile.
ReplyDeleteOh Anna, I'm a bit behind on blog reading, hope all is well, you really have been having quite the time ...
ReplyDeleteYou have to frame that drawing, it is so so divine (if I saw that in a gallery I would buy it) maybe you should do a series ...
take care lovely girl XXX
