I am 26 and married for 2 years. In the
beginning, we were taking precautionary
measures but after 6 months we decided
to have a baby. we tried for about 8
months and at last i conceived. Me and
my hubby were really excited when we
came to know about my pregnancy.
3 months passed fairly easy but
after the first trimester in my 10th
week, one day when i went into the
washroom after wiping myself i noticed a
blood spot on the tissue paper. i was
really devastated and we rushed into the
emergency. Doctors did an ultrasound and
that day for the first time i heard my
baby's heart beat. Doctor gave me an
injuction (for keeping the progestrone
level high i guess) and sent me back
home with instruction of complete bed
rest for a while.
I did that and everything went fine
till my 17th week. i went for urine,
wiped myself out and turned around to
flush; when i saw a lot of blood. At
that moment i felt i had lost my
baby...and am pregnant no more. so i
went to my doctor and was surprised to
hear that my baby was perfectly fine and
healthy. Blood that came with the urine,
was from the placenta but it stopped
naturally and i was perfectly fine. she
again told me to go on complete bedrest.
I did that and i was fine for next 4
plus weeks. In my 21 st week i went to
the doctor for routine check up because
for last two three days i was feeling
hard kicks like sensation in my lower
abdomin. she did an ultrasound and told
me that baby is perfectly healthy and
fine. i came back escastic. when i woke
up next morning and went to washroom i
had a very concentrated urine with
greenish and blackish tint. i got
worried right away. i drank a lot of
water and tried calling my doctor. when
suddenly i felt rush of fluid, at first
i thought i have lost urine but with the
second gush i rushed again to my
doctor.
What followed next was a nightmare.
Doctor did an ultrasound and told me
that i was leaking aminotic fluid. but
still the water level was ok and
admitted me in the hospital in the hope
that the leaking membrane might seal
themselves out.
7 to 8 days passed without any onset
of labour, fetal heartbeat was strong as
ever and finally we became hopeful. On
the 9th day my doctor arranged for
another ultrasound. i can never forget
the moment when she told me that there
was no more water left, the placenta had
also started to tear off the uterine
wall (which she showed me on the screen
as well
). she still optd to wait for sometime
but made this thing clear to me that the
baby couldnot be saved as it had lost
weight instead of gaining any in the
last few days.
i cried my heart out and i still
weep when i remember that time even now.
But late that night i started to
bleed heavily with clots as big as my
hand started coming out. so i was
shifted to labour room and was induced
artifical pains. In the morning i
delivered a perfectly normal and healthy
still born baby boy.
4 months have passed but still i am
not able to overcome the pain of losing
my baby.
