june 28th 2010, I was lying in bed at
night turned over a had a gush of
fluid, went to the hospital, the fern
test showed nothing. but on ultrasound
there was only 4cm of fluid. I was
atmited to the hospital's high risk
maternity ward, given antibiotics and
steroid shots, 2 times daily nst's and
for the whole hospital stay i had no
measurable fluid, as i was leaking
large amounts daily. on august 12th i
began having contractions that were
painful and every 4-5 minutes, my
white blood cell count went up and it
seemed i was getting an infection.
On "Friday the 13th" we had a c-
section and there was a infection of
the amniotic sac, my son was born
weighing 3lbs 10 ozs 16in long. he had
also gotten infected. he was breathing
at birth but was weak because of the
infection, and had to be put on a
vent. but as of now he is doing great,
still in the nicu but breathing by
himself no oxygen needed he has had a
smooth stay so far and is up to 4lbs
7ozs and working on learning to drink
from a bottle.
