Details of experience

I developed a condiditon called HELLP and was very unwell I was supported well by the midwives and Dr’s I was sad that I had to have a C-section at 35 weeks and my baby had to go to NICU, but I was thankful that my condition was picked up and action was taken to look after me and my baby.
