The missus
had an ovarian cyst that ruptured. She was staying at her granny's home while I was away on basic training, and had been sitting on the sofa when it happened. She was left to lay there crying in pain all night as it was quicker/easier to wait until the nearby health center opened in the morning than to drive into town to the nearest hospital.

When she was brought in to the health center they had a look at her two week old ultrasound to see what had been bothering her and noticed the cyst, put two and two together, and had her rushed to the ER at the above mentioned hospital.

They made a small incision to see what the problem was, and when they saw the damage they did an emergency c-section to clean out the area. The pus* from the cyst had been sitting in her insides all night and had spread all the way up to her abdomen. On top of the excrutiating pain from the rupture and several incisions, small and large, the whole area was getting infected.

Through all that they managed to save the ovaries, but warned her that if she developed another cyst they would have to remove them. This was our possible now or never warning and shortly after she had recovered, she was pregnant.

Our daughter is nearly 6 months old now, and with every passing day we turn down the volume on the baby monitor.

Length - originally 52cm, and getting bigger every day
