My water broke December 23, 2004, at
15w6d. My doctor told me not to hold
out hope, that it was possible for the
tear to repair itself and I could
regain fluid. This would usually
happen within 48 hours so long as
labor did not begin. Unfortunately, I
did not regain any fluid, but my
beautiful little miracle baby was
still alive. My husband and I said
many prayers and asked many questions.
We spoke with 5 different doctors at
the hospital and they all said the
same thing--that I must induce labor.
My husband and I agreed that we would
leave it in God's hands. I developed a
terrible infection that could have
threatened my life and keep me from
having any more children on December
26th. My doctor began the medication
needed to induce labor on December
27th; my labor began that night and
our beautiful little son, William
Thomas, was born on December 28, 2004
at 2:47 A.M. He was 7 inches long and
weighed 3.8 ounces. He barely lived 1
minute after he was born.
