Well he is my story in Oct I started to bleed called my doctor they told me it sounded like I was having a miscarriage and if I started passing blood clots to goto the ER. No blood clot the next morning not bleeding either. So I want on as if it never happened went a few days with nothing the one morning woke up and thought I peed myself went into the bathroom and it was blood. Called my Doctors office and they told me to go to the ER which I did they checked me and told me it was a treated abortion which is their way of saying miscarriage. So after about 2 weeks of on and off again going to the ER. I woke up in the middle of the night wet thought it was blood went in to the bathroom and it wasn't it was yellowish fluid. So I went in and went back to sleep thinking it was urine. Woke up at 8:45 on the the morning of Nov 2nd all wet again and when I stood up more came out. So I waited till my doctors office was open but in the mean time I forgot as I got busy with my 11 month old. 2 days went by it happened again I called the doctor they told me to go to the ER which I did I was 19 weeks at the time the came in and checked me did est to see if it was AF and sure enough it was they told me that the chances of him making it if he was born were 0. And that my body would either go in to labor or I would get a infection.. They kept me for a few days and nothing happened so they sent me home. It happened again this time they kept me for a week I was 23weeks at this point they sent me to a high risk hospital they kept me for a day and let me go home for a week cause there was nothing they could do for me til I was 24 weeks. I went back at 24 weeks got the 2 steroid shots they would check my temp and bp every 4 hours and give me a non stress test 2 times a day. Weeks went by the baby seemed good and I didn't get any infection. On the 21 of Dec I had pink fluid leaking the did a ultrasound and I had no measurable fluid. As I leaked it every other day up til this point. After the 21st it was coming everyday. It started to turn red and a few days later I was having contraction and the baby's heart rate had dropped to 60 bpm for 10 minutes. They gave me oxygen and lots of fluid in my IV. Everything stopped a hour later. At 28 weeks they were thinking about sending back to my hospital closer to home. 5 days later my body just gave in at 10:45 pm I started getting cramps which were the same as I had been having every few days since I ppromed at 11 I started having contractions again and this time they were 3-5 minutes apart the Dr came in and checked me my cervix was still closed at 11:15 the contractions were worse they checked me again and I was 1 cm. They move me to L&D Checked me 15 minutes later and I was 2 cm. They came in to tell me I was going to the OR I was very scared as I was alone my husband was on his way we live 2 hours away. I had to have a c section my son was breech. I woke up in the recover room with Mike at my side tell me our son was in the NICU. On January 2nd 2012 I had my son Triston at 3:08 am he was 2lbs 6oz and 13 1/2 long. It has been almost 2 days since I had him. He is on a breathing machine. He has had 2 shots of steroids. They won't say he is fine or okay they just say he is stable. I know this is going to be a long and trying road for the both of us. But he is a fighter I have faith in that he has been fighting for 2 months in the womb. I will have a update soon. Thanks for reading my story!
