i was 23 wks pregnant when i started leaking fluid i thought maybe it was just urine but called my dr n was told to go to the hospital.I found out my water had leaked out not much was left in the sac.The drs wanted me to teminate the pregnancy.I told them i would not she still had a strong heart beat and i had read alot of on the internet saying more babies were making.I spent the next week in the hospital they gave me antibiotics and on my b_day i had made it to 23 wks. They gave me the steriod shot for lung developement i got both the day after the last shot i had my angel Kaydence.She was 1lb 1oz 19in so beautiful. She had lots of breathing problems and also had small holes in her intestines. We had to send her to another hospital to have surgery on her intestines all went well she was doing awsome drs said they had never seen a 23 weeker come out of surgery n do so grate but 28 days after she was born they blew a hole in her lung. THey did all they could let my boyfiend n i hold her then she passed away 3 hrs later. We spent every sec with her we could. We just passed her due date. Was the worst pain i have ever felt. Im still not taking it too well i try n take it day by day im very sorry for all of you that have lost your child to pprom and wish the best for those of you going threw it, it really has changed my life. I miss kaydence and never knew someone so small could be loved soo much she is always in my heart n i know my boyfriend n I will see her again some day. She is in heaven where all the perfect angels go
