On the 30th June 2018 me and my partner where taken to Lincoln maternity hospital to have our baby turned as she was in the breach position. After arriving at Lincoln we was made aware that the cord was sat at the bottom so as soon as my waters go I would have an ambilical cord prolapse. We were taken up on maternity which several hours later I went into labour. Upon the midwifes fast thinking I was rushed to outside the theatre rooms which it was then decided by the medical staff to keep me opposite threatre and make us wait 4 hours as I had just eaten my tea. 11.30pm Olivia dropped her heart beat down to 90..within seconds we was surrounded by a surgical team and rushed straight through for emergency c section category 1. A matter of seconds and we would not have Olivia here with us today. She decided to tie a knot in her ambilical cord which was cutting off all suply to Olivia. 11.37pm we had a healthy baby girl weighing 8pounds5ounces. Since leaving the hospital for 4 weeks Olivia has been poorly and screaming in pain, rashes of the skin which pealed her skin off and made her skin bleed, she would scream after her feeds and throw up then want more, after several trips to Pilgrim childrens ward, it was later discovered Olivia had a diary intollerance. After the team on the ward placing her onto a specilised milk and us coming home she started to refuse feeds which lead olivia being sent back into hospital and being tube fed. Now that we are home, and living a happy family life im doing a family funday fundraiser for these two AMAZING teams ( Lincoln maternity hospital & Pilgrim childrens ward ) ..for their fast thinking, their patience and their kindness, Olivia, me and our family are at home enjoying our family life and making amazing memories whilst these doctors, midwives & nurses carry on saving our childrens lives on a daily basis. A thank you goes a long way, but so does a donation. Thank you all for reading our story.
