ALL THE CUDDLES
Changing some medication for a palliative patient I was working with, I suddenly had to stop.
‘Ouch,’ I whispered, clutching hold of my belly.
Steadying myself on a chair, I called in a colleague to take over for me.
Struggling to the staff room, I sat on a chair, with a shooting pain inside my stomach.
An ambulance was called, and I was taken to an emergency room in the local hospital – Mater Public Hospital in Brisbane, Australia.
After some tests, they found something in my tummy.
‘I’m three weeks pregnant!’ I told my husband, Jessie, in February 2019.
It was an unexpected but welcomed surprise.
We’d always wanted a baby but due to my polycystic ovarian syndrome, we accepted that the chances were, it would never happen.
There was a worry that it might be an ectopic pregnancy, but thankfully, the baby was growing inside of my uterus.
