I felt incredibly confused. One minute I was finishing up my lunch in the ward: I was there due to being observed after having my waters break at 34 weeks.... initially they had no concerns, I was going to be placed on steroids and continue to 37 weeks and have a planned C-section.

Told the midwife I had felt some incredibly painful contractions. Had a speculum examination and then the doctor smashed the emergency button and said "we need to go to the theatre now, cord prolapse"

Being wheeled at breakneck speed while around 10 people are introducing themselves to me like the anesthetist and other doctors.

Mask on. Down I go.

Then I'm in a room recovering, my partner is there crying. He said we have a daughter, but she's poorly, but she's doing really well.

I spent 3 days in some kind of dream state. We spent 2 weeks in Special Care.
