If you would like to share about your baby and/or loss pregnancy or infant. I know we have a in memory board. But this is also a awareness day. So I wondered if you would like to share your story. Everyone here I think knows mine. But to start it off I will share too.
The morning of Jan. 28th 2007 I woke up. I was 32 weeks and 1 day. I noticed the baby was kinda positioned odd. More stuck out I guess. I don't remember now if I just never felt her really well or just never noticed. But that morning she wasn't I just thought she was asleep. I go on with the day getting more and more worried. By 6pm I was very scared Dh came home from work. I asked him to post here a question about fetal movement. I know some of you remember this. I called my mother and my sister. I tried the things ya'll said. About 15 minutes after dh arrived we were getting ready to go the the hospital 45 minutes away.
We had are phones talked to my sister and mom on most of the trip. Dh and I drove very silent to the hospital. We got there went right to L&D like they told us on the phone. The lady checking us in said not to worry all her babies went through times of not moving at all. That made me feel better. To nurse took us right in. I got in a gown and the tech got the doppler. She couldn't find anything but said not to worry she'll get the other one who is much better at it. Then they had to hook me up the thing to be sure with ones were my heartbeat.
She looked at me and said they need to do a ultasound. I knew then she was gone. They never had any trouble before getting her heartbeat. They brought the U/S in I couldn't look I saw her spine when I was turning my head. She looked for a couple minutes. Said how sorry she was that the baby had no heartbeat. She said my doctor would look again when he arrived and make if offical I guess. It was his night off we kept calling the on call dr never got her. I called my sister asked her to tell my mom. I just couldn't bare to here her cry . My sister Prisca let everyone here know what happened but you know that.
Prisca morning of the 29th of Jan. got her oil change and her kids and drove on a nights notice from Texas to Tennessee. She got there the night of the 29th dropped her kids at her SIL were her MIL was. My mom came the same night I did. I was the getting Stadol(sp) and Morphin after I didn't like the stadol. I had the best nurses ever. They kept upping the labor inducing meds it didn't work in the least. They finally the night of the 30th did something horrible to me. My mom and my aunt and uncle were outside the room. Dh was in with me. They put best I can understand my someone here will know. Some kind of stick things in my cervix made of something. He wanted to put 5 in but dropped one I was so happy it hurt so bad. Even with all the meds I was on that pain was bad I was screaming and cussing didn't do that in labor.
I then went to bed had to use the wonderful bed pan. I lost any kind of shyness in that place but that goes for normal ones my sister says. The morning of the 31 I was dialated 1cm just enough he said to break my water. The epidoral(sp) people came and guess what she was training in some young cute guy. Then they asked me to sit up to insert the needle guess what. Yep all the fluid just came pouring out I just remember saying I was sorry over and over. And they said that was suppost to happen it was ok. They done that and that was over. And then every so often they would come in to see if I was in any pain. Then the last time they came in I said I hurt and they said well you shouldn't be then I said well I am. They left to talk to the dr. I guess cause the nurse comes in and checks me I was fully dialated I believe its really kinda blurry. So my dh held one leg and my sister held the other and my mom was watching.
Avonlea Virginia was born Wednesday the 31 January 2007 at 2:50 p.m. weighing 4 pound 10 and 1/2 ounces and 16 inches long. She had beautiful head of dark hair like her father. She was wonderfully perfect except she was born still and silent. She had skin discoloration and it was thin and peeling. Cause of death UNKNOWN.
Thats why there needs to be more research for stillbirth, premature birth and other losses during pregnancy. I have known so many ladies with many m/c and no answers. Thank you for listening if you have this long. Share your story if your willing to thank you.
