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
:) xx JoJo xx :)

:heart2: And only now I see the light...

:T Baby girl due 09/03 :T
