I haven't been back in a little while. But I had a perfect appointment this last Monday, a gender scan Wednesday (a boy after two girls!) but yesterday Sunday, everything changed. I felt crappy and had been having on and off Braxton hicks contractions. I got sick after dinner and right before bedtime I went to go get sick again and my water didn't just break, it busted. We rushed to the ER but our baby boys heart had already stopped beating. My pulse was incredibly high, my blood pressure incredibly low and I was running an alarmingly increasing fever. I had what's called chorioamnionitis. A bacterial infection that only affects about 1-2% of pregnancies and usually at the end during long labors or mothers whose water has been broken and a long period of time passes before delivery. My water broke just before 7pm, I was induced, epidural didn't work well with my out of control fevers and at 10:52pm our son, Matthew, was born sleeping at 16 weeks and 5 days. We had an incredible team that was so attentive and compassionate. We got to spend as much time with him as we needed. We had the privilege of being able to tell him how much we loved him and say our goodbyes. I had to be admitted since I was pretty much septic (my temps were in the 105F range, pulse 160s and BP was about 70/40 for a while). The intensive care unit got me out of the woods and I'm being managed on the regular floor now. Hopefully I'll get discharged tomorrow but it may not be until Wednesday. We're down but not out. It was sad and tragic but we were also profoundly at peace with all the love and support we've received.
My heart goes out to you youngmamttc...you aren't alone.
Thinking about all of you and praying no one else has to go through anything similar. Hugs to everyone.

Oh my goodness. Im so very sorry! My thoughts are with you.
Rip baby boy, breaks my heart.
 
So ladies just a little update from me we found out today I'm team :pink: x
 
Yay that's awesome! :D I'm still hoping I'll be team pink once I get my 20 week scan but we'll see. :haha: So long as baby is healthy though, I can't complain!
 
Haven't posted on this thread in ages... hope everyone is doing well.

Can OP change my due date to 23/4/16 please? Not sure how it's already known cause I didn't post it on the thread but we are indeed team pink. 3 little ladies :cloud9:

Now that my hyperemesis has passed I don't even feel pregnant. Can't wait to feel regular movements etc.
 
Misscalais-- Congrats on team pink!

Natasha-- Congrats on team pink! I went through the list the other day and checked on people who hadn't posted in awhile. Either postings on other threads, etc... It's a couple of pages back.
 
Does anyone else have this awful/metallic taste in their mouth? I had this with my son pregnancy and it disappeared as soon as he was born! Also always hungry and nothing taste good?

Congrats on team :pink: Natasha!

Yep. It went away with my son, but it's lingering this time along with the nausea. I can't wait to enjoy food again.

Yes unfortunately. Ive had it the worst this pregnancy and i find myself chewing on mints and stuff all day to keep it at bay. Its not as bad as it was in the beginning though.
 
I am so so terribly sorry to hear about your loss Baby Bray. How heartbreaking. Keeping you in my thoughts and hope that you are getting lots of support from family and friends right now. Huge hugs to you xx
 
Congratulations Misscalasis on team pink! :) I too am measuring ahead, 6 weeks ahead in fact! My obstetrician told me it's normal to be measuring anywhere from 4-6 weeks ahead at this gestation of a twin pregnancy, but I look enormous! Can't imagine what I will look like in another 17 weeks time! :rofl:

Lovely name Powell, how exciting that you've decided on a name. I need to dust off our baby name book and get reading :)

xx
 
19 weeks today! Not long till half way mark :)

I'm sure a lot of us are close to that point now x
