I thought i'd share my story about little boy Jamie , i had a pretty plain sailing pregnancy no problems at all no bleeding no pain just bad sickness compared to my other pregnancys , it all started when we went for our nt/ dating scan i was 12+6 everything seemed perfect bar they noticed that his bladder was enlarged currently measuring 1.9cm and nt measurements were 3.1 so they said we are going to refer you too see the fetal medicine specialist next week i said ok no problem i didnt really know what was going on at first im thinking what was wrong with him why is this happening to me ? i asked questions but got no where so the next day i called up as i couldnt settle so they managed to get me in to see her that day she done her scan and said with what was going on with jamie she thought it was Patau's syndrome so the next thing i had too do was decide if i wanted a cvs or wait to have an amnio so i decided to go for the cvs and i must admit it was one of the most painfull things i have ever experianced i am not going to lie about it but i know id defo not do that again in a hurry, i had to wait 3 days for the rapid results i couldnt eat i couldnt sleep i was an emotional wreck friday we got the results back and they were normal showing no signs of any type of downs in the mean time i had to wait till wed to see if their was any change wed came our appointment was at 9am but we got stuck in traffic and was a little late also the consultant was running late too so we had to wait until 10.30 to be seen we also had an appointment at harley street, we went into the scan room and i thought the woman who was doing the scan said it was gone all the extra fluid jamie had in his bladder but our worst fears had happened his bladder got worse it doubled in size in a week measuring 3cm i was so heartbroken when they told us that they called it prostatic hypoplasia which means uretha blockage so the urine couldnt flow out properly the prognosis was poor we were told jamie would either die inside me or die at birth as he would have lung immaturity of a 17 week baby his condition was bad that his kidneys stopped working his bladder went up into his chest cavity putting pressure on his heart so paul and i made the decision to end his suffering and pain and induce the pregnancy , i was given a tablet that day and i was booked in on friday for the labour induction , we arrived at the hospital at 9.30 as our bed was pre booked not that that ment anything as we were just getting into our room at 12.30 while waiting we seen pregnant women pass us by feeling saddened by our situation i was crushed i was booked in bloods were taken and i was given pessarys at 2.40 by around 4.10pm i started having cramps but no bleeding my body was shaking from shock and adrenaline i was advised to have morphine to help calm me so at 5.10pm i had that , i felt constipated for a while so i thought id go to the toilet and i had to put one of those bowel things under the seat incase anything happens suddenly i felt a pop and it was my waters that had gone so i shouted to my partner that it happened next min my son jamie was born while i was sitting on the toilet i was in complete shock i screamed but not with pain with shock and my room was instantly over crowded with doctors nurses while sitting on the toilet i had to deliever the placenta i had paul holding one hand and a lovely nurse holding my other hand i told them i couldnt do it but they told me i could and i did it my son jamie was born at 5.25pm i had no pain at all from it to be honest i have worse period pain this was not painful , my life from that day had come crashing down not only have i lost jamie this is my 2nd 2nd trimester loss and i have mc 2 other babies in the last 18 months
