Hi my name is Georgeann Todd I am just
able to sit here and write my story.I
was implanted with 2 embryos on Feb
4th 2006 and with a miracle, one of
them took. I was told early on I had a
subchrionic hemmorhage but it was
nothing to worry about. Sometime in
May 2006, I was having pains in my
stomache and I thought it was probably
a bladder infection. So I called the
the doctor and they told me to come in
to the office that day. When I had
gotten there they did some urine test
and blood test then sent me over to
get a ultrsound. They said the
ultrasound looked fine nothing to
worry about. I still had not heard
anything about the blood work and
urine test so I gave them a call 2
days later. They said yes in fact I
did Have an infection and they would
have to put me on antibiotics. From
that point they never told me to come
back in to see if the infection went
away or not. On the morning of June
5 ,2006 I went in to find out whether
it was a boy or girl. The said they
could not see the heart because of the
way the baby was turned so I would
have to come back in four weeks. Then
they said with 99% that it was a boy.
They told me everything looked great
and they will see me in four weeks.
Later that night I was going pee and
it felt like a cork or something
popped out of me. I did not have any
pain or bleeding. I went into the
computer room and with that I was
soaked from front to back with fluid.
I called the doctor and they told me
to go to the hospital right away. The
stupid doctor (the one from the
previous month that told me my
ultrasound was fine)"Said, the baby
just probably kicked you". I got to
the hospital and they took me right up
and told me I was (1) centimeter
dialated and they would have to induce
me. They said there was nothing they
could do for the baby. So, I told them
not to touch me and we will see what
happens. So they admitted me into the
hospital. They would come in every
couple of hours and make me listen to
the heart beat. So, finally Wednesday
night I started to run a fever and the
baby's heart beat started to slow
down, so they said would have to be
induced otherwise I will be in serious
trouble.
So finally on June 8th 2006 at 7:30 pm
I delivered Elijah Francis Todd at
19.5 weeks and he weighed 12 ounces. I
just want to tell you (if you have any
doubts at all) call your doctor no
matter what. My problem was, I always
felt like I was bothering them. Well
the way I look at it now "THAT IS
THERE JOB". I am finally going to try
again. I just started my estrace pills
yesterday(july 18th2007)and they said
if everything goes as planned I will
be implanted August 4th(3 Saturdays
from now. I was just reading over last
years reports and I am upset from what
I was reading.It says in my ultrasound
report "for the next few weeks I would
have to have short interval follow-
ups, Because I had a small amount of
complex free fluid in my pelvis and a
mild perigestational bleed". So,
between that and my infection I
strongly feel that made me lose the
baby. For now on, I am requesting a
copy from every report. The only
person you can trust is you and your
gut feeling. If I would have known
what the report said you can bet I
would have made sure I was seen by the
doctor as the reports says. WISH
EVERYONE WELL. Talk to you soon and
thanks for listening. Georgeann
Todd
