Do you all remember me coming her and telling you my girl Cindy was 18 weeks pregnant or so and kept having placental abruptions, and was being held in the IWK childrens hospital in the maternity section, and that they didnt think that she would keep the baby any more than a week or so, and that she was a high risk for even losing her OWN life.
It was incredibly bleak back then, because noone at the hospital was being positive, i guess they were preparing her for the worst.. but noone would be hopeful with her so I did. I prayed every day for her. She had abruption after abruption after abruption, transfusions daily for the blood loss that was almost happening daily... many many scares.. BUT


Bracey Raine O'Brien 2lbs 11 oz. born at 29 weeks



YES!!!!!!!! SHE MADE IT!!!!!

Yesterday Cindy had her baby. She is so so tiny, but she is so HEALTHY looking for only 2p11oz! Just look at her! I cant beleive it she doesnt even really look preemie. She is so tiny that they cant fix the diaper on her.. they just lay it over her. But she is breathing on her own 100% and has either had or should shortly have her first poop and pee!!!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of the two of them for hanging on. She had abruption after abruption after abruption. Transfusions became almost daily. Everyone told her to be prepared to lose her. And here she is healthy as a 5 pound baby but only 2p 11oz.

Gosh Just had to share. I am just beaming!

Attached Thumbnails A MIRACLE! My friend Cindy had her baby!

Congrats Cindy!

That really is a miracle story for the baby to make it through to 29 weeks and be that healthy!!!!

Even though medical folks have to prepare you for the worst, we always hope for the best. Enjoy the sweet little baby.

Congratulations to Cindy and Bracey, and thanks for letting us know. Only, how come the pics aren't showing up?

The URL between your IMG tags reads...
Code:
http://forums.psychcentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=706&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1246147201
...but all I get from it is blank space. When I paste that URL directly into my browser I get, "Fool Zero, you do not have permission to access this page..." It's as if only you can access those pictures, in that form anyway.
