Hi All

I haven't been on here for ages, but this site gave me my first link to information that really helped me during my high risk pregnancy. I have done a youtube video of our journey in the hope that I may help raise awareness of issues facing premature birth and let ladies who suffer pPROM know that there is another option to termination.

Thanks for watching.

Just beautiful!!!! Thank you for sharing. Happy Birthday to your little one!


I have had repeat pPROM with my pregnancies. My premature babies were born between 32-35wks so our journey was significantly shorter but I can relate to so much of what was was in your clip. Our youngest is now 7 weeks old. He arrived just past 33wks after pPROM at 32 weeks.

Beautiful Camum- congratulations on this momentous milestone!

That bought back so many memories for me. The cotton wool on heel pricks, the CPAP, the lights.

Thank you for sharing what I know would have been an emotional and sometimes painful journey.

Congratulations on surviving the first year. Happy Birthday to a gorgeous and courageous wee boy.

Congratulations, he is so gorgeous and you look so happy. You have a beautiful family.

Thank you for my Monday morning cry. (It was the "brother hold" which go me )

Blake is adorable and you're a beautiful family! Congratulations!

HE IS SOO GORGEOUS, AND I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW "QUICKLY" HE CAME HOME!! congrats!!

Thank you for sharing Blake's story. What a wonderful outcome. Congratulations from another one who had a little cry while watching!

Oh that was just beautiful to watch, though I had to keep wiping the tears away to see it!!!

Congratulations to Blake on his first birthday and congratulations to you and your family on your miracle.

I so love that profile of babies (the one with Blake sleeping next to the bear?) so sweet

Keep growing gorgeous boy

That is beautiful. I have identical twin boys born at 26+1 brings back so many memories. Glad to see he is doing so well. Congrats

What a beautiful video. Thank you so much for sharing this and congratulations to you all.

It's a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for sharing that, the Christmas day photo got me.

WOW, now that tugged a few heart strings !

Amazing story and amazing parents.

Love to your little one on his 1st Birthday and all the best to your family !

your video make me cry. such a beautiful story. you must be so proud of your little Blake.

my story is similar - at 12 weeks pregnant i was told my baby had a severe defect and i should terminate. i refused. he had an operation shortly after birth, spent a few months in the neonatal ward of the royal childrens and now, ten years later he is a perfectly healthy, normal kid.

What a tear jerker and what an amazingly beautiful little man you have there. 'Miracle' seems like an understatement.

Thank you for sharing! I had tears all the way

Congratulations on your beautiful baby. I'm sure it's been a very difficult time but well worth fighting for!

All the best

Just beautiful . Thanks for sharing!

Awww so gorgeous . Happy birthday beautiful boy

Oh that is so beautiful ! Happy birthday to your little man and good on you guys for being so strong and never giving up on him

Thankyou all for your lovely words. It was actually quite therapeutic to put the video together. We have come a long way.

This is me right now ---> The photo of your boys gazing at each other is amazing.

Thank you so much for sharing, such a beautiful boy.

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story of hope and love.

That is so amazing, good on you for maintaining hope in the face of despair, I can only imagine how hard itnmust have been. Love to you all.

Just beautiful, Happy Birthday Blake <3

What a fabulous video, maybe it could be shown to other parents who are on the same journey?

Congratulations to your family and happy birthday to Blake!!

The photo of my two boys gazing at each other is my favourite part of this video, I smile every time I get to that bit

How wonderful - I remember when you first posted, and I am so happy that you and your darling Blake made it through!

Thankyou Eirinn. I remember your support and it was you who sent me to the kanalen website. I can tell you that I am eternally grateful for that advice. That led me to a facebook support group with other ladies currently going through the same thing and that was my sanity lifeline. http://www.essentialbaby.com.au/forums/sty...cons/icon12.gif

Gorgeous video! It truly is a maracle and makes you realise how fragile yet strong life is.

Oh CAMum, happy birthday to Blake. You and your family are so inspiring. Well done for defying the doctors!

DH and I just watched this together, beautiful. He is a gorgeous boy!

Amazing. The pic of your boys together is truly beautiful. My dd was born at 31 wks due to prom, she is at Uni now!
Thanks for sharingxx

Awww love it!

OMG at the wires for the sleep studies! Wow!

And I'm balling, The video was beautifully edited.

Thank you for sharing your journey, your baby Blake is just gorgeous.

I love that picture of you with Blake on your chest, you look so in love and so happy. Just precious.

I am sitting here nearly in tears. It's amazing what a little bit of hope can achieve.

Thankyou all. MESS, I only posted that one as it wasn't all the wires/monitors (that would have been a little overwhelming), and certainly didn't show a very unimpressed babies face. But no more sleep studies now required

Wow

What a beautiful story, thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Happy birthday Blake
