Wow....alot has changed here since I left.....alot of new faces and a few vets are left, which makes me sad Lots of baby to my ladies It's time you ladies move into a DDC.
For those who do not know me. My name is Kim (32) Mom to Juvon 14, Lyric 10 and Janiyah turning 3 in September. I was on this board from Sept 2011 after coming off the pill until March 2012 when i got my BFP. I moved on to the Dec DDC. I had a normal pregnancy....no cramps, no bleeding, nothing. No probloems what so ever. On July 2nd at 18 weeks i woke up and had a lil leakage....i wasnt sure if it was amniotic fluid or i couldnt control my bladder....it continued little by little through out the day. I told my hubby that i think i should go to the hospital but then when i thought about it i was like i dont want to wait in ER for 6 hours for it to be nothing (mind you i have had 3 pregnancies and never has my water broke,,,all my kids were overdue and water had to be broken by the doctor) so i wasnt sure if thats what it was. I spent the day with the family that day and felt better by the end of the day. When i woke up July 3rd i felt fine...i did some grocery shopping and when i came home i had some spotting so i went to ER (not the hospital i was to deliver at). After a 6 hour wait they seen me and said the U/S tech had gone home for the day. They did the bedside U/S (the one on the cart which is not that great) The doctor said i dont see much amniotic fluid and would like you to come back tomorrow morning for U/S. I cried and asked why i couldnt go to L&D. He said they do not send pregnanct women up there until after 22 weeks or something like that. So i went home....The next morning July 4 i went to the same hospital for a U/S the tech did not tell me anything. She said i would have to go wait in ER for the results....i said forget that i'm not waiting 6 hours again and i called my OB's office crying....The secretary answered and said my OB was on vacation and that she wanted me to come in immediately to L&D at my hospital i was to deliver at. I got there around 3pm they sent me to triage went over the U/S from the other hospital which showed i had 1 pocket of amniotic fluid. They sent me for another U/S and it then showed NO FLUID. I was devasted. They told me that the baby could not develop with no fluid and the chances of my reaccumulating my fluid was unlikely. I told them i needed to go home and think. Before i left they said if i get a fever i need to come back immediately since that is a sign of infection. We went in the next morning July 5th to have another ultrasound done praying that i had some amniotic fluid returning but i was heartbroken when they told me the same diagnosis. We decided to be induced ( the hardest decision i made in my entie life) I was in labor for 4 hours and delivered my baby girl Lauren weighing 0.5 lbs 20 cm long at 8:08 pm. She was beautiful and now in the hands of God. I miss her everyday and wish things had been different
I`m meeting my OB tomorrow as i have so many questions for her...why did this happen to me.?? What are the chances of it happening again?? (i could not go through that again) When is it healthy to TTC again?
I pray my body and heart recover quickly and i get my rainbow baby !!!!
I am pretty new around here, so I didn't know you, but I did read some of your updates, because someone posted the links/updates here. I was completely heartbroken for you! I hope that you will be holding your rainbow baby in your arms very soon!
