Today we would like to introduce you to Little Miss Sienna Paige :) Thank you to Emily Maree Pettersson for sharing your story :) I gave birth to a beautiful tiny baby girl Sienna Paige on the 11/7/2013 (due date 24/8/2013) 33+5 weeks, weighing in at 4 pound 6 oz and 43cm long. I was induced to my heart going into failure. I have a congenital heart condition and was always told I wouldnt be able to have kids and when I fell pregnant I was then told I wont go past 28 weeks. I was so determined to get to 32 weeks, but by 30 weeks I felt like something was wrong. The midwives and doctors told me baby was fine but I didnt think it was her that was in trouble. I had a cardiology appointment at 32+6 weeks and it soon became so clear why I felt the way I did. One of my main valves had almost completely shut down and was struggling to get enough blood around my body. At that point they told me within a week I would be a mum and my pregnancy was over. I went in on the 10/7/2013 @ 5pm to be induced and after 21.5 hours of labour I got my baby girl. She came out screaming and was healthy apart from a few hiccups. She suffered with mild jaundice in her first week and struggled to maintain her temperature but by day 9 she was on the up and doing incredibly. She was suck feeding great, maintaining her temperature and jaundice seemed like a thing of the past. By day 14 we were told she could go home so we did. She has been incredible. Shes the light of our lives and I couldnt ask for a better child. She is so cheeky and so mischievous and so ambitious, nothing ever stops her. Shes our little miracle.
