The biggest win of my life.... **Pics added**

Baby Dexter was born on Thurs, a little earlier than planned.
It was a very traumatic experience as I suffered a total placental abruption very suddenly & was rushed to hospital for an emergency section.
It was a totally surreal experience & easily the most scared I have been in my life. Within an hour of realising there was a problem (I was at home) I was taken into hospital & my gorgeous little man was born.
I lost nearly 3 litres of blood & was in high dependency for 24 hours.
Thankfully everything was a great success & I now have an absolutely gorgeous little boy (weighing 6lb 12oz) & I'm here to tell the tale.
I just feel so lucky to have something so totally beautiful from an incredibly awful experience. I really feel blessed & I'm the happiest I have been in a long time.
I'm a little sore now but so glad to be home to all my family. Just cannot help but think that this is my best win ever
Also want to shout out to the NHS, they were so amazing & I am eternally grateful for all they did for me. Angels in disguise :A
