Rhianna Lily’s Debriefing

Yesterday we had Rhianna’s debriefing, I have written about her debriefing numerous times recently as I was really dreading it. I had got into my head that there was something that I had done and I was dreading getting that confirmation that yes it was something I had done.

We went into the meeting and we were both anxious, the consultant truly couldn’t have been nicer she really was a lovely person, which did make the whole experience so much easier.

She went through all of my notes including the little information she had about Baba and all the information about Rhianna. Nothing had come up with the infections, or genetic testing but there was a problem with the placenta study.

Basically I had a small placental abruption, and there was a small blood clot behind the placenta stopping anything getting to Rhianna. There was nothing we could do and she clearly stated that it was fine to go ahead and have another pregnancy. We have a thorough plan in place for the next babies. It is going to be pretty intense but it is at least there and things my change but we have the bare bones.

It does feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders I was so concerned that I had done something, and I really hadn’t it was a horrible thing that happened, and we now finally know the truth.

We are trying to process everything that has been said to us, trying to process the plan of action that we will have for any future pregnancies and get are head around all of the facts. But we have the questions answered. Right now that is all that we could ask for. We know the reasons and we know what to do next. For that we are both grateful.

But that is the easy bit now we are in for the long haul and doing the hard bit.
