One we got home from the hospital, all I could hear was those words ringing in my ears. 'There's nothing we can do.' 'You should expect the baby to pass inside you.' I thought, ok, lets see about that. I took to my friend, and yours, the world wide web! I googled like crazy. Anything that people had tried in this situation to try and improve the blood flow. I tried many things, some crazy, some ok. I started eating protein every 2 hours, I drank 3 litres of water a day. I drank beetroot juice every day (natural blood thinner). I drank build-up milkshakes by the gallon. I had reflexology every week. I burned aromatherapy oils. I meditated. I lay on my left hand side for 22 hours a day. I found research stuides and questioned my consultant about them. I managed to persuade her to prescibe me some gtn patches off licence (vasodilators). I tried and failed to get some viagra! (another vasodilator) I took loads of different vitamins, as recommended by my reflexologist. I googled till I could literally google no more. I read inspirational quotes to the baby, I sang to her. I tried to visualise her getting bigger and stronger. I prayed a lot... Twice a week, we had to have scans, to check if 'nature' had taken it's course yet. I knew it hadn't as she was always such an active baby. Still, twice a week we were told she wouldn't survive. It's hard to bounce back and keep positive when you are constantly being told bad news. But we did....
