DeaD Love

My name is J.C. and i got pregnant when i was 12 yrs old i was 7 months when my mama finally found out the baby's father didm't claim her at all. My mama wouldn't take me to the doctor and my step daddy was a big help.Well when i was at school only one friend knew i was pregnant until the it happened this boy was playing and hit me in my stomach and killed my baby right there in the hallway without knowing it. Now the boy is locked up they gave him 5 yrs in jdc because he didn't know i was pregnant but he shouldn't have hit me. Now i am 15 yrs old and today is my baby's death anniversary she is my dead love but please teens don't have kids cause they lead to problems and heartache. Also love and satisfaction but it depends on your situation.

crash c-sect.

pregnant with my first child at 34 and everything seemed to be great until I began having pre-term contractions at 34 wks. Was hospitalized and everything seemed to check out, so doctor wanted to send me home. I declined, and I am so glad I did. I had a full placental abruption at 4:15 am and we both would have died without emergency intervention. Had a "crash c-section" with general anesthesia. Developed problems with tachycardia post-op and was all corrected within one month.

had second child at 35 and began having pre-term labor at 27 weeks. Was put on bed rest, but was constantly worried about second abruption. Second child was born one month early via emergency c-section. So blessed to have both children safe and healthy.

down syndrome warning sign

we recently learned the our child at 20 weeks revealed a shaded area in the heart which is common in children with down syndrome, can anyone offer any advice based on experience? this is the only warning sign we are aware of at this time.

the 6th adorable child

Who would have guessed that with my 6th pregnancy I would get toxemia and HELLP Syndrom.
Never before have I been so scared. It all started when I was about 12 weeks from term. I began to notice that my hands hurt when I would try to work on a quilt I was making for the baby. Then I noticed that my arms ached when I tried to braid my hair. When I went to the doctor he told me I needed to have Non-Stress tests. As I would travel to the hospital every few days, I would mention to the nurse that I felt like a sponge in the shower. I felt like my skin just soaked up all the water while I was bathing. But, my feet didn't look swollen to her. What? Could she not see how fat my feet and hands were? She just thought I was a heavy mom to begin with. The doctor was so supportive, while the hospital just didn't understand why the concern. So, I kept going in and soon the doctor put me on complete bed rest. I had 5 other children, my oldest being 16 and my youngest was just about 3. Life was so hard for my dear husband and oldest daughter who tried to take care of things around the house, along with the little one. After 2 months I went to the doctor and he told me I was doing fine. He decided not to do a C-Section, (I had never had one before) and he sent me home with hope that we would be ok. That was Thursday. One thing he did not mention is that I needed to keep resting. So, because I felt so much better than I had, I decided to vacuum out a used car that we had just purchased. After than I went back to bed. The next day I didn't feel too well, so I rested more. That night, 3 1/2 weeks before my due date, I began to have the most awful stomach ache. I also noticed a lot of pain under my right rib. I felt like I just needed to throw up and that if I did the pressure would be relieved. I went to bed, worried. Around midnight my husband went to another room to sleep as my snoring became so loud he could not sleep. Then I woke in terrible pain, still in the right side. I called out to him. He called the doctor who told us to get to the hospital immediately. When we got there they thought I was having a heart attack. I told them I was being watched for toxemia. The EMT rushed me in a wheel chair to the labor and delivery dept. They hooked me up to many things, and then the doctor arrived. Once it was determined that I now had HELLP Syndrome they decided we needed to get that baby out. But, because of my low blood platelets they could not do a C-Section. I was given a drug I think was called Staydall and it helped to take away the pain of Labor. He broke my water, I would sleep between contractions and within a few hours the baby came, on the way to the operating room, she was on the gurney by herself. I told them she was born and they lifted the sheet and there she was, all 4 1/2 pounds of her. She was perfect. I was still in trouble. They had to get me onto Magnesium Sulfate soon and I'm sorry I don't know what else. When I got to the hospital my blood pressure was 206/103. No kidding! So I spent the next 4 days in the hospital recovering and trying my best to stay quiet. They would not let me have visitors except my husband, my father and my baby, my older children came for only a few minutes. I could not watch TV, nor have my blinds open as all stimulation would cause my blood pressure to rise. My urine was dark, almost black. I asked when I could go home and the nurse held up the bag and told me when this urine turns yellow, then and only then. For four long days and nights I layed there wondering what was going on. I was so confused. I was lucky and so was my baby. We finally went home on Thursday night. Then I had to stay resting for a few more days. When I took the baby back for jaundice on the 10th day after delivery, (all my children are jaundiced except for one) the nurse in the lab did not recognize me. She asked when my baby had been born and then she just shook her head and told me they did not expect me to survive. That was 15 years ago. Why am I sending you this now? Because my daughter, child #4 (expecting her first) just called and told me she is being watched for toxemia. She has 7 weeks to go. I cannot stress enough how important it is to follow your doctor and REST.........hope this helps someone. Oh by the way...I was told not to have anymore children and had to wait 3 months before I could have my tubes tied as my blood clotting factors were so low. I am healthy now and so is my beautiful daughter.
