Hello my story starts june of 2001, I
was pregnant with my second
child and hoped for another
problem free pregnancy however,
at about 16 weeks I started to
feel a low sinking feeling in my
groin and some intense back
pain. I had another daughter so
I knew this was not regular, I
rushed to the doctors office and
they told me that in many subsequent
pregnancies this tends to
happen. They told me to get a
pregnancy belt and that I could
continue working and not to worry.
Well one day at
work everyone startd to tell me
how pale and sick I looked and
that I should go back to the
doctor, I felt sick and had
excrutiating back pain so I went
to the emerggency room where
they told me to take some
tylenol and three days off of
work. In three days I went back
to work and started to feel
worse-the back pain had gotten
worse and the groin pain was
making me walk with a wobble
like I was 9 months pregnant
when I had only just reached 20
weeks,and I was huge, I gained 8
ppounds in one week. I went
home and started to feel some
light trickling of water coming
from in between my legs, back to
the doctors office I went. They
did a sonogram and found nothing
wrong , they said I was a
worrywart, so back home I went -
again and for the last time
pregnant.
The next day I had
felt horrible and the leaking
got worse , but I just slept
until the pain had become so bad I
had to breathe through it.
After going to the hospital so
many times I really just wanted
to wait out the pain until my
next appointment which was the next
day. The pain had become
unbearable and I called my
friend who was a maternity nurse
and she told me to get dressed
that she was taking me to the
hospital right away. On the way
there I started to bleed and
pretty soon I was in so much pain that
I could not talk or walk.
By
the time I was admitted (5 minutes
later) I was 10 centimeters and
the babys' heartbeat could not
be detected-everything had gone
pretty fast from there, my water
broke completely and I did not
even have to push because the
baby was already in the birth
canal.
Stephanie-Madison was one
pound, and had only gasped for
air once. We held her and
mourned her loss, but were eased by
the fact that she was with God
and now we had a personal angel
to watch over our first
daughter.
