well here goes

So I have seen a lot  about blogging and how it generally works so I have decided to take on blogging and see if its something to go along with. I am a 22 year old girl from wales in the UK I have the most amazing son god could have given me and live with my boyfriend  Gaz. But its been tough and one reason I wanted to blog was because i having only recently gone back to work was a full time mum and am driven mad by all these shows on about girls getting pregnant and not taking on the responsibility not on the girls but the guys as well. I was terrified when I first found out I was pregnant but then  I looked into what stage pregnancy I was at and I was overwhelmed that I was carrying a tiny life inside me my partner Gaz was supportive and we decided that we were going to give our baby everything we could regards the problems along the way money where to live all these things were stuff we would just deal with because we were going to be parents.

I had a relatively simple pregnancy till I hit 28 weeks and started getting intense itching all over to the point where i could barely sleep after a blood test i was found to have obstetric cholostesis a blood condition caused by and overactive liver function. This condition only occurs during pregnancy and carried serious threat to my sons life. I was so shocked to hear the risks of miscarriage brain damage and still birth and was put on medication which helped but didn't solve the problem my acid levels shot up and in the end I had to be induced at 35 weeks pregnant i was terrified having only been told the decision 2 days before I also panicked as we were moving into our new home and was worried how we would get ready for a baby in such a short time.

But thankfully all went well i was in labour 3 hours and had an assisted forceps birth due to my little man was born scaring us all with his heart rate dropping he was born 5lb 2.5oz and was too small for all his clothes but to my great relief he was OK. The next few weeks were hard adjusting to being a mum i went through highs and lows at one point being viciously reported for supposedly not caring for my baby a claim that social workers immediate agreed was a result of malice toward me.

J is now a few weeks away from 2 and has got a new partner in crime a Labrador that joined our family at Christmas in this blog i will be blunt i will speak my mind but i will also hope to make people aware of the condition i had when pregnant and also just what its like for a working mum doing all she can for her little boy and her relationship and finding the balance to enjoy life enjoy her son and enjoy her man
