My story begins with me finding out that
I had adenocarcinoma of the cervix 3
weeks before my wedding. I was operated
on and no re occurence in the 2 and a
half yrs since. However, My husband and
I wanted a family. We weren't sure how
things would work out in that department
but, my doc assured us it would be ok.
He gave us the go ahead spring 2002.
Sure enough we concieved at Easter!
The pregnancy was not going smoothly as
I was treated for dehydration 5 times
and had severe vomiting. I lost 14
pounds. By the 12th week they got that
under control and then found a blood
clotting disorder, Factor 5. I was then
giving myself shots twice daily of
heparin. Things were going along well
and we were so excited for Christmas
time, and then on July 22nd my water
broke. I just knew that my baby wasn't
going to make it. We went to ER and they
told us of the chances of the baby's
survival......practically none, with no
lung capasity. We were so devastated and
could barely come to terms with losing
our child. We finally induced on July
26th and our son Cole Hilton was born at
3:52 a.m. He was 6.6 ounces and 10
inches long. He was so beautiful and we
held him for hours. We baptised him with
the chaplin and our parents.
My doc's can give me no reason why this
happend, but want to put a stitch in
next time. My cervix was closed all the
way up until induction. I am not sure
that is the answer. I am so nervous to
try for another, as I don't know that I
can bare the pain of losing another
child. I am glad there is a place like
this because it seems like these things
are never talked about. It is going to
be a rough Christmas without our son.
