I was having regular scans and the last one at 29 weeks they noticed she just dropped a tiny bit on the centile. My placenta was failing so she wasn't getting what she needed. I was taken into hospital, I had steroids to help baby's lungs and scans every day to see if she was ok or in distress. After a week and being 30w 2days I had an emergency c section and she was only 2lb 9. Due to the steroids her lungs were boosted and after 6 weeks in neonatal intensive care unit she came home. Apart from being small for her age, she is 14 weeks and 8lb 1 today she is doing good. Try and stay positive, it is scary but please be reassured NICU are amazing places. While we were there two babies born at 24weeks both did well and both have gone home this week at 39 weeks. My control was very good and I had a perfect pregnancy till 29 weeks. They can't say why it happened or if it was down to diabetes which is very frustrating. Don't beat yourself up, try and maintain good control and take each day as it comes with every day baby is kept in being a bonus. Big hugs to you and bump x.</blockquote>
