Nicholas Wayne 01-30-08 20w5d  In September 2007 I got pregnant. I was shocked when we saw a heartbeat and the baby was NOT in my tube again. I had an ectopic in my right tube in April 2007. Part of my tube was removed. I went to the doctor until we had a strong heartbeat and I was released to an OBGYN. My stats: 10-15-07- u/s -everything ok, sac barely visible On December 12th 2007, I found myself bleeding and losing huge clots. I called L&D and they told me to come in and bring the clots with. When I got there the lady at the front tried to send me to the ER because I wasnt 20 weeks yet. I explained and she called the back. They took me into L&D, and quickly got a doppler out and low and behold the baby was fine. The hospital didnt show me the ultrasound, but John was able to watch, they have some rule that the mama cant be allowed to look. John explained what he saw, then we waited for the doctor and everything was ok. The doctor told me the usual bedrest and follow up with my doctor routine.
I found it difficult to get in to see the doctor, but they squeezed me in the following Tuesday. The doctor put me in ultrasound and said no abruption, and once the bleeding stopped I could return to life as usual. He also said no more bedrest. I was relieved and scared all at once. I was very happy that I could return to sitting normal in my chair at work. I had been reclining it so not to put pressure on the uterus and cervics.
The week of Christmas, I was 16weeks and we had a private ultrasound to find out what the baby looked like and if it was a boy or a girl.
In the early morning January 29th, 2008, I woke up with a feeling that I was leaking. I wasnt in labor and I wasnt having any pain, but had a bad feeling. I had been feeling off for a week, not wanting to eat anything, but feeling hungry and nothing appealed to me. When I woke that morning it felt like balls of sweat and I could have sworn it was amnio fluid. I wanted so much to be wrong. I got up, didnt even wake up my daughter, and I told John I was going to L&D. He didnt think I should go, told me it was nothing. I told him kindly that I knew my body and I hoped he was right and I was wrong and off I went.
At L&D they did a PH test, which I passed with flying colors and then they sent a sample off to the lab for a ferning test. I waited till the test came back, and it showed that there was a fern that grew under the microscope. The doctor explained that this was a failed test and that it could be amnio fluid. They needed to admit me for observation. Off I went to the maternal ICU. My doctor came for a visit and we talked about many things. He was to keep me overnight. He gave me some pills to turn my pee orange and he explained that the antibiotics and IV can cause labor so he didnt want me on them. I have since then been told this to be far from the truth.
In the morning of January 30th I woke from a gush. The nurses checked the fluid and it failed the PH test. The doctor came in and said my water was ruptured and that it was likely an infection, but they didnt know. I wasnt sick, no fever, but I started to labor and was left there all day in that condition. They didnt try to stop labor, and later that afternoon at about 12:30pm John came to the delivery sweet. My labor had gotten very strong and thats when he left work. No more than a minute after he arrived, my water broke. The doctor was still no where to be found, and I had been asking for him for hours. When asked later he said he was there and over across the way at the office.
Into the world came my son weighing 12oz 10 in at 20w5d gestation. Too small to survive. There was a baby born a week later who did survive, but the doctor told me Nick had zero chance and they did nothing to revive him. He was born at 1:30pm and died at 2:43pm. He didnt move, he didnt open his eyes, he might have heard ouf voices talking to him as he passed. He was very dark skinned as he was dying. I wondered why he looked that way, but still loved him for that 43 minutes. I held him first, then John, and we passed him back and fourth. He was so small he fit in one hand.
I think I was in shock more than anything. Before I delivered I was so scared that he would suffer and struggle, but to my shock he just lay there with only a heartbeat.
After the delivery the doctor administered Petocin to get the placenta to come out. With small babies |
Isabella Grace 01-07-2010 21w4d My vitamins as of Sept 03, 2009 I also think excersize in cd1-O is important for pcosers. Also lifting is important to pcos, the areas that show improvement, using chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, lower back, butt and theighs. I did all since I was moving the day AF arrived. I moved so much that day I had a charley horse in my sleep. Moving took almost a week.
