I was married prior for 8 yrs and never had a single pregnancy, not for lack of effort. I remarried after our divorce and became pregnant after 3 months. I was stunned. but so estatic. Around 6 weeks alongIi began to spot randomly here or there and we had an U/S at 8 weeks. They could find nothing wrong and our baby was healthy with a strong heartbeat. I continued to spot and continued to search for answers as to why. never fiding any. Around 18 weeks i made an appoinment with the hospital to have a 20 week U/S done and to check for incompentent cervix. as i went to get up on the exam room table i felt liquid come out clear and no smell. the lady doing the U/S tried to say i just leeked urine and that my fluid looked great. I went in the next day for a test called amnio sure it came back negitive. and then that night i began labor. I didnt know what was happening till later the next day. The night before i passed a clot that i believe was my mucus plug and began cramping. but i mistook it for normal growing cramps. I didnt sleep well and the next day after a nap the pain increased. I finally realized something was wrong. My husband came home from work and by that point i was in alot of pain. he drove me to labor and delievery and they said i was dialated to a ten and i had an infection. They did an U/S and my sons heartbeat was still strong. 10 minutes later Easton was born and it was the most quiet momnet of my life. he was gone. after a few weeks i began to search for what had happend, find others who had been threw this. it took me two years to find this page, and altough im grateful to have this place to share and learn im sad any of us have to be here. Easton was 7 inches and wieghed 3 ounces. I felt blessed to hold him and we have little foot mold and prints. Its been 2 yrs since his birth on Dec 5th 2009 and i did get pregnant again 10 months later and miscarried at 5 weeeks. we have since adopted a baby boy. but hope to have a rainbow baby someday.
