On Sunday, Jan.06,08, I experienced
PROM. I was using the restroom and I
felt something warm. At first I was
unsure until I wiped myself. I saw
something that looked like a thick
mucous with veiny blood. I called my
doc and he told me to go to the
hospital as soon as possible.
They examined me and determined that
it was indeed amniotic fluid. I didn't
have pain, cramping or infection but
the docs advised me or all of the
potential risk. I decided to be
discharged but my primary doc insisted
that I stay, at least for 48hrs. After
the ultrasound, my heart was broken to
see my daughter looking so limp when I
normally see her floating like a
butterfly. There was very little fliud
but I decided to trust God for a
miracle. I was ready to stay in the
hospital for the long haul in order to
save my Princess "London Gisele."
I prayed and asked God for a sign and
on Jan.15,08, my umbilical cord came
down while having a bowel movement. It
was very frightening but I decided to
listen to my body and gather everyone
for her arrival.
She was delivered vaginally and the
placenta came almost 4hrs. later. She
did not come out alive but she did
whisper in my ear about 15mins. prior
to arrival. I heard a very soft sound
and then finally "mommy"!
I knew that she was with the Lord so I
was really ready to push.
She was beautiful, just as I had
imagined and I spent 8hrs. with her.
We celebrated her and took many pics.
She had this peaceful look on her
face. I look at those pics with
pride.
I know that she will be with me always
and I will love her forever.
God Bless You All :)
