Hi ,
I have a 10 yr old daughter and since she was born we have not been trying but have not been preventing either. We just figured we were only meant to have one baby.
We found out we were expecting in May and we were very excited and surprised, after all this time. I was a little scared and apprehensive that something would happen but was staying positive and started getting excited at the thought of a new baby.
I hadnt had any spotting or bleeding throughout my pregnancy and was very happy about that, I didnt have morning sickness but a few times (only 1 time with my dd) so that was a bit different. On Friday the 12th of August I woke up to get ready for work and had to go to the bathroom. When I went I felt pressure but didnt think anything of it, I had no pain or anything. I finished getting ready and left for work.
I was at work an hour and had to go to the bathroom when I found blood in my underwear, I started crying, I was sooo scared somethng was going wrong. I called my doctor but his office was closed, so I went straight to the ER. They took blood, and the dr checked with the doppler for a heartbeat and found it. Everything was ok I thought I had stopped bleeding , then I went to the bathrom adn there was even more blood. They checked me and did an ultrasound and they came in and told my they had bad news. My cervix was open and my membranes were bulging out. I was devastated. They said there was not much they could do.
They wanted to admit me but I said no, I would come back tomorrow to see my obgyn and see what he wanted to do. I went home and stayed in bed with my butt up til the next day. I went in to see my ob first thing in the morning, he said there was pretty much nothing he could do since I was so early.
He said the baby was healthy and my dates were all right, but he didn't know why this had happened when I had had a healthy pregnancy previously. He gave me two options,1 - to terminate the pregnancy or 2- to try and go on bedrest for another 2 to 3 weeks and to come back and see if the water had gone back in . I chose to go on bedrest and went home. He told me I may pass the baby aat home and tried to prepare me for that.
I lasted 1 day on bedrest, the next day I had contraction type pains and started bleeding again. I was terrified I would pass my baby at home. I didnt want to experience that at home. The pains went away and I thought I was ok. But by that night they started again, stronger and I was bleeding now heavy. I got my dh to rush me to the ER right away. I was terrified but I was still hoping for the best.
They took me right away as I had started bleeding through my clothes. They did an internal and did an ultrasound and said the baby was gone, there was no longer a heartbeat. I was devastated. I was admitted and told my dr would come see me the next day and they would do another US to see what was going on.
As soon as I got to my room my dr came in and wanted to check me and told me what he thought had happened, He said he thought the baby may have moved into the part of the bag that was bulging and when he checked he said thats what had happened. He had to break my water but i did not have any contractions right away. He gave me some medicine to contract and I passed my baby shortly after. I was devastated, i could not stop crying. I chose not to see my baby and i regret that every day, my dh did se him though. We were told it was a boy.
The placenta wouldnt come out so I had to have a d&c, which I had 8 hours after the birth of my poor baby. I was sent home the same day.
I still wonder every day if someone would have checked me earlier if my baby boy would still be in my tummy. I am struggling every day and wanted to share my story.
