Hi my name is Jeannette! My first pregnacy was pritty normal she was born 8-3-99 at 36 weeks. But after that we have had 3 miscarages before 13 weeks.
This pregnacy has been nothing but troble. At 18 weeks we had an altrosound done at the hospital every thing look great! We found out it was a girl! 4 days after that I was at the hospital, I had pink discarge they said every thing was ok. 5 days after that I was back because of heavy bleeding they said my plecenta was only 3 cm away that that is why I was bleeding. The altrosound showed nothing wrong and plenty of fluid. then on 11-29-02 (19 weeks 5 days gestaion) My water broke . I thought at first I peed on my self but, I called the hospital just incase. They said to put a pad on and call back in an hour. After 5 min, my pad was soaked. I called back and they told me to come in. I lost all my fluid that night and in the many altrosonds they did they couldn't see any fluid. They asked me to induce, but I couldn't I could fell her move. I couldn't do it.
I spent 8 more days in the hospital trying to keep me there. But because of the fact that I was only 20 weeks and the baby couldn't survie. So they sent me home 12-7-02 with no hope and antibiotics. I am on Ampicillin 500mg 4 times a day, take temp every 4 hours(over 99.5 go to hospital), and total bed-rest. It is now 4 1/2 days scence I left the hospital. I have 19 more days to vablity.(24 weeks) I know she most likely will not live but I am hoping for at least one day. So I could bond with her. I will write agin when I know any thing
