i understand what everyone is saying. i just lost my first baby boy after long hard struggle.

in the beginning i blead for the first three months, i was in and out of the hospital but everything was fine. at about 20 weeks i woke up because i felt like i had to go to the bathroom and my underwear was soaked, i called the doc a few days later and he assumed that it was the baby on the blader, so did i. at 25 weeks i went for my sono to determin the sex, at that time i had asked the lady if she couold see if the baby is on the blader, after finding out that we were having a little boy, both of us had a simile from ear to ear we were hoping for a boy first. then the sono lady calls the doc and he tells me i need to go right to the hospital i loss alot of my fluid. that was the beginning of my struggel. when i got to the hospital i was told i would be thee till i deliver now the really didn't think i would go much longer, to there superise i was there for 6 weeks. i went in at 25 weeks and went into contractions at 31 weeks. at this age the risk are much lower so survial was never abig issue, but bing that i was PROM(Premature rupture of membrains) the baby has no fluid to protect him from infication. after the doc delivered him by c-section he was doing great the neonatel doc was amazed how good he was his lungs were good he cried which is abnormal for a premie to do. the about 3hours later the discovered that the baby had an infection, and things didn't look good i also got the same infection but i have an immune system to fight it he didn't. so i had the most beautiful baby boy for 18 hours, that little guy faught so hard to stay alive to spend that time with us.

this the hardest thing we will ever go through in our life, we do want to try again soon but of course i 'm going to wait till the doc says its ok and finish student taching.

my husband wrote a story i posted on loosing a baby. this explains everything we went through.
