My husband and I were very excited to
find out that we were expecting our
second child. We have a beautiful 4
year old daughter. My pregnancy with
her was picture perfect, so I just
assumed that was the way it would
always be with my
pregnancies...WRONG! At seven weeks
along I began to spot, brown. We went
to the emergency room and I was told
the baby was just fine, but I had a
small subchorionic heamatoma(placental
blood clot) and that this was usually
nothing to worry about. Well the
spotting continued for a while. Then
at 14 weeks the bleeding was getting
heavy. Bright red and ALOT, like a
period everyday. The doctors
continued to tell me that everything
was great and dont worry just rest as
much as possible. One Sunday I lost a
clot the size of my hand, that was it
I just knew something was not right.
I finally convinced my OB to send me
to a perinatloigst, were at 17 weeks I
discovered that the fluid level was
too low. I was monitored for the next
2 weeks where the level went back up
then down. At 18 weeks I woke up 2
times in the middle of the night with
wet clothes, but it was bloody and I
just thought I was bleeding more than
normal,as I bleed all the time. Then
I started to think that was alot of
blood, maybe it was a rupture. Sure
enough I went for my sono and I was
ruptured. My son was cramped and not
moving most of the pregnancy. I
believe that the bleeding throughout
caused the rupture. We delivered our
son RJ on October 7, the worst day of
our lives. I miss him dearly and
still forget sometimes that I am not
pregnant anymore. Please if you have
had something similar, contact me...
