I didn't know that I was pregnant until
I was about 2 1/2 months along. The
three tests that I had taken were all
negative. When I finally did find out
we were happy and I changed my diet and
thought that I did everything right. At
18 wks. my water leaked a little, but I
thought that I had peed. I went back to
bed and a few hours later I gushed. I
went to the hospital and was told that I
needed to get induced and deliver. I
chose not to and immedetly changed
doctors. She said that since I was not
contracting she could put me on
antibiotics and bed rest and wait and
see. I continued to leak a little at a
time and had 10 u/s that all said fluid
was ok. At 22 wks. I was put on strict
bedrest at the hospital to try to hold
on until 24 wks. The doctor was hoping
to get to 27, but at almost 25 wks. I
got an infection and had to deliver via
c-section. Chloe was born at 1 lb. 3
oz. and was breathing on her own. She
had oxygen and Ivs and a feeding tube
but that's it. The first night she
started getting bad and had high blood
acid levels, jaundice, and my infection,
and bleeding on the brain. Her heart
just gave out and they tried to
recesitate her but she couldn't stay off
the machine. They called us down and
let us stay with her while she passed.
She was only 15 hrs. old. I feel so
empty and don't understand why nobody
can tell me why I couldn't carry my baby
longer. They also said that I have a
high chance of this happening again. Is
this true?
