My baby died

61

Premature Labor

I have had a lot of problems keeping a pregnancy. I have had a total of 4 baby's that have died. My first pregnancy was back in 2003 I had a miscarriage early in the pregnancy. My second pregnancy I had to have a DNC because the baby had no heart beat that was in 2007. My third pregnancy was in 2011 I had another miscarriage. In 2011 my boyfriend and I decided to try one last time I became pregnant very quick. It was very hard to connect with the baby due to other pregnancies. I became attached to him when I kept hearing heart-beat after heart beat. I was seeing the ultrasound tech every 2 weeks. I found out I was having a baby boy and was due March 16-2012. My doctor (who seen me with all four) decided to take me off high risk and said she would see me November 5th. I decided to keep myself on high risk around the house doing NOTHING. I starting having problems and called the Doctor asap on the 28th of October. I was admitted into the hospital and had Mason on October 29th 2011 he died 14 mins later on my chest October 30th 2011.

You can't help but wonder why careless women get the blessing of children and some who would love and cherish a child do not. Perhaps your path is not to have one but to save one. The ability to grow a child from within is amazing, but it is not necessary these days. There are so many kids in our country that can use your love, if you are willing to give it.

Good luck...

I feel for you, my daughter had a lot of trouble with miscarriages and having a still born child. Thank you for sharing this story.

There are no words to help you feel better. I will tell you my first living child was my 8th pregnancy. Of 14 pregnancies I had 3 living children and all of them were extremely premature. Some say I was crazy for trying so many times but the truth is, I didn't even try to get pregnant. Every time I took the pill it seemed I'd get pregnant. It became so heart-wrenching. I am sorry for your losses and your pain. Please take care of you! Have you considered genetic testing to see if there is an underlying problem such as rejecting the babies?

Sorry about your losses.

It is hard to escape genetics. First pregnancy, I was super active and through a lucky study, the doctors told me to start bedrest at 31st week because of early dilation. Second pregnancy, I was super careful, and I was still part of the study. I started dilation at 31st week and again went on bedrest.
