hi ladies,
I thought i would share my story with you all.
It was my first pregnancy and it was normal and healthy as you could hope for until i was 20+5 we had just found out we were having a healthy little boy. I had my hospital appointment at 20+5 and everything went fine. Later that afternoon i noticed i was bleeding a little and started getting theses pains in my stomach and felt i had to go to the toilet really bad but i couldnt, i went and felt something bulging. I rang my mum as i was at the shops and i couldnt drive. She took about 20 mins to get there and took me to the closest hospital, not the one i was booked into as it was a longer drive. I got to the emergency room and was the only one there, they dont have a labour ward there it had recently closed, they got a gyn to see me and told me i was having contractions, they got an ultrasound machine and checked on my baby and everything looked good and he had a strong heartbeat. the gyn said he wanted to do an internal as he put the speculum in he was very rough and then felt a gush of water he had just ruptured my membranes, an he continued with the internal even though i was yelling for him to stop, my mum and partner were out side the room, when he finally finished i asked if my baby was ok and he said probably not, i just started crying and called out to my partner and my mother. They orgnaised for the ambulance guys to come in, they introduced themselves,one of them was called christian, which is what we were going to call our son. I'll never forget that. I was transfered to my maternity hospital by ambulance. When i got there they took me straight to the delivery suite, where they told me what would be happening. I had an ultrasound to check my baby the two doctors were talking and one ran off, i asked what was going on and she said there was a heartbeat. They couldnt get obstetrician as he was in surgery. Finally he came in and saw my baby and told me that his heartbeat wasnt strong enough. My partner and i stayed the night i wanted to be induced during the day so i could of had some rest over night. Then next day i was give tablets to start contractions at 12, i was in bed for a couple of hours till i thought i had to go to the toilet i was sitting down then saw my babies head, in a second he fell out. I was all by myself then the midwives came rushing in and cut the cord and took him and dressed him for me. Shortly they brought him to my bed. They couldnt get the placenta out so i had to go into surgery to have it removed later that night. I spent hours holding my baby boy before i went into surgery, I had to have a spinal block and felt i couldnt breathe i was in and out of sleep through the procedure. I just felt so empty. I was returned to my room after i was taken to recovery. I spent the night and next day just holding my baby boy. I was watching the clock coz i knew i was leaving that day and it was the last time i would see my little boy.The hospital was just so amazing and thoughtful. It all went too fast, before i knew it was his funeral. It was just family there, we picked an amazing memorial park its so peaceful and beautiful, with a section for all the babies born sleeping.
