My name is Shelley I am 27 and have 2 delicious kids, Chloe, She is 9 and Connor, who was born on 12th May 2008.
I live in the SouthWest of the UK.
My DH and I have been together 11 years, married for 9.
Wow, I didn't realise it was that long!!
We been trying for another baby for 8 years and, we have had 3 miscarriages, last year we found out it was due to a bowel obstruction and scar tissue, due to Crohn's Disease.
After an operation to remove parts of infected bowel, baby dust was sprinkled upon us and we concieved in August, just 4 days after my birthday
We are so happy to get another chance and I am looking forward to meeting our little boy, Connor.
With Chloe, I developed high blood pressure at 29 weeks, I was in and out of hospital due to it, I always got sent home though.
At 37 weeks I had so much pain and couldn't breathe so I got admitted to hospital, they diagnosed Pre-Eclampsia and induced me right away, I had an epidural but Chloe's heart rate went right down and they had to perform an emergency C-Section under general anaesthetic (sp?).
Chloe was born weighing 5lbs and I got Eclampsia when she had been born. I had to stay in hospital for 10 days while they brought my blood pressure down.
Finally I could go home and enjoy my new family.
Last year we also found out that I have a personality disorder (BPD), similar to BiPolar. I have been fighting my moods and thoughts for 13 years, I have tried my best and I have to admit sometimes, I need the help.
I love BG. I love the girls on BG. I'm not really much for drama but there are some laughs in there, I have to admit. I might pipe up every now and then
