In December 2009 I got pregnant with my son Ollie. It was an easy pregnancy apart from the constant morning sickness. When I was 32 weeks pregnant my placenta abrupted causing Ollie to be starved of oxygen. He died in minutes. Ollie Christopher Bates was born on July the 22nd 2010. The most beautiful baby boy I have ever seen.
After being totally against marriage, didn't see the point in all the fuss just to sign a bit of paper, I did a Uturn and decided that I did in fact want to marry Adam. I wanted the same name as my son. We didn't officially get engaged or anything we just decided that at some point next year we would get married before we had another baby.
Adam and I decided to try for another baby straight away as we felt something was missing, we were parents without a child. Nine weeks later I found out I was pregnant with Amelia. I hindsight I should have given my body a chance to recover from Ollie's birth. I was very ill after having him. I lost over half my blood, had no coagulants so I couldn't stop bleeding in short I very nearly died myself.
We were all very nervous throughout my pregnancy with Amelia, rightly so it turns out. I had blood pressure problems from the start and my supposedly 'high risk' care ended up with me seeing my consultant only once at 8 weeks.Amelia was born on my wedding night when I was 27 weeks pregnant.
