This is Me at 7 weeks and 3 days
This is Me at 14 weeks and 5 days
Here I am at 18 weeks and 5 days
We were allowed to try and conceive again in 6 months.
We did and I got pregnant right away.
I found out I was pregnant on February 2.
My due date this time was October 9, 2004.
I had some trouble with this pregnancy from the beginning.
I was bleeding bright red and went to the ER on valentines day.
I had an ultrasound to rule and Etopic pregnancy.
There was a sac but nothing was in it.
I was measuring under from where I was suppose to be.
I went to see My Ob the bleeding stopped by then.
I was to have another ultrasound in 2 weeks to see if there is any change.
In two weeks I went back and there was the baby with its little heartbeating away.
I was thankful! I had a normal pregnancy, I heard the heartbeat
at every appointment and
I started to feel movement at 13 weeks. I enjoyed being pregnant.
I had two other ultrasounds at 14 weeks and another at 18 weeks.
The baby was measuring great and was very active.
I didn't know she was a girl until I gave birth to her
At 21.4 weeks I noticed pink blood one morning so
I was told to go to Labor and Delivery to be checked.
I had another ultrasound done and it was normal.
When My Ob went to check my cervix,
My membranes were bulging.
I was sent to a hospital better equipped for high risk pregnancies.
I was put in the transverse position with hope that the membranes
would slide back in so I could have a rescue cerlage placed.
Or to at least hold on as long as I can so
I could make it to at least 24 weeks.
I was given magnesium sulfate to stop the contractions.
I wasn't able to move out of bed. I was this way for 4 days,
I went into full labor and it couldn't be stopped since I was already dilated to 8.
I don't remember much of anything since the medication they gave me knocked me out
I only remember little bits here and there,
I know know the time period while I was in labor either.
I do remember seeing my Father who passed away in 2001,
He was standing in white lights holding my son
I wanted to go and hug them but,
My Dad said "No go back, your not wanted here yet, you have a life to live.
After that happened I woke up enough and I remember having my baby
I had my daughter at 7:39 pm.
She was still alive she didn't cry because her
lungs were not developed enough.
But her heart was beating and she was moving.
She died about and hour later in my husbands arms.
We spent as much time with her and we wanted.
She stayed in our room all night.
I'm thankful I got the spend the time with her.
