I found out I was pregnant in November
of 2002, I was happy and also a little
scared. I am 17 and a high school
senior, so I will be graduating soon,
that was the most scariest thing of
all. I had regular check ups. I was
20 weeks along and was at my boyfriend
house that night. I was staying over
because I had my next check-up the next
day and he lived near the doctor
office. I was laying down and I had to
go to the restroom. While I was using
it my water had broken and it was a big
gush everywhere. I called him in and
told him what happened and he said lets
go to the hospital. We got to the
hospital and they checked me and told
me that my water did break and and I
had to options to delivery or not, but
there was a chance of getting an
infection then I would have to
delivery. I chose to delivery because
I didn't want to take my baby through
the pain. This wasn't my first time
pregnant I have lost a child before due
to pre-eclampsia at 21 weeks in April
of 2002. My boyfriend was there the
whole time which I am thankful for.
After about 4 hours in a room they
finally gave me something for me to
start contracting. I was going through
about 6 hours of labor. I finally gave
birth to a baby girl who had a strong
heart beat. All I can say is they
didn't even give her a chance. She had
hair on her head, thick eyebrows and
look just like her father while her
eyes were closed. We held her and said
our goodbye's. I was going to name her
Gabrielle. She will always be in my
heart and her fathers and I just want
her to watch over us and let her know
she was our special child. This
happened on March 7, 3003 and it
happened so fast.
Love you always,
Mom and Dad
