Didn't even make it to 35 weeks !!

So saturday 8th was like any normal saturday. I went picked my boys up, we came home, them doing their thing for a while..me attempting my first mince pies *gulp*
Hubby came home loaded with presents and cards for kids to write and give to me as it my birthday monday and he wanted the kids to give me their card and present while here with us.
I rested for a while watching TV then decided before heading off to birmingham german market I'd sort the dishwasher out. Nothing unsusal to be doing that..but as I did I felt like I'd wet myself...not loads just when you bursting but trying to finish something before really having to go. I thought nothing of it and carried on emptying dishwasher.
Once finished I went toilet only to discover I hadn't wet myself...I was bleeding..and heavy :( I shouted hubby and rang hospital. I was told I needed to ring for ambulance to which we did. I then sorted who and where the kids were going ( as they obviously couldn't come with us).
I arrived at the hospital and things seemed to calm down as they scanned me and I got to see my baby girl all well on the screen.
Was told they'd keep me in for couple of days to keep an eye on bleeding. Was given painkillers and told to try rest.
6am sunday I was getting twinges that hurt more than they previously had...and when checked I was in labour! I started to be prepped for c-section even though a decision had not been made..it was just a matter of time..baby had no other way of coming out..even if no one had told her that lol.
After being so scared of having the c-section I was pleasantly suprised. I lay there with my husband by my side waiting for madam to cry which she did. I didn't feel any tugging or soreness at all. I felt huge sigh of relief that baby girl was ok regardless of being born a day and five weeks early!!
Not only was she early but she arrived to help celebrate mummy's birthday and obviously didn't want to miss xmas.
I have recovered well and baby...sorry ..Lily-anne is doing well and hoepfully home soon.

scan time again..34 weeks

Well another scan..another consultant appointment and as am convinced baby dropped I was quite happy.
How wrong was I?? yes the placenta had moved...but only part of it :( It had now divided itself into 2 sections joined across my cervix..wtf?? Consultant wants me to go back in 2 weeks to see if it's possibly moved...if not then c-section at 38 weeks it is.
I was upset a lot..more so beccause I'd convinced myself it would be ok now. But now I'm panicking too...what if she comes early and I'm on my own? it will take hubby at leats an hour to get to me :(  What happens if it goes over xmas and I have the kids?? as I was told any bleeding, pain or waters I'm to go straight in not even leave it half hour!
On the plus side we know she going to be early..even if it is waiting til 38 weeks!! However, I'm so not convinced she will wait that long lol.
