To all my friends here at Medhelp,
Sorry I have been MIA. The past few months have been so tough for me. I lost my baby end of June. Everything was doing fine 'til one day. We came in for an u/s to check my baby's hb and I can still remember the shockedness and sadness on my RE's and dh's faces. I cannot believe it when my RE said "your baby's heart stopped." I was so devastated. I didn't want to believe it at first, even up to the time I was in the operating room for my D&C. I didn't get the D&C 'til after a week. I was scared and hopeful at the same time, that it was just a mistake and a miracle may happen. I even went to my gynecologist to get a second opinion but all was confirmed. My RE did another last u/s to confirm everything before the D&C. I lost my baby.
My husband and I decided that we wanted to do a pathology test to find out exactly what went wrong. My baby was a boy and he had Trisomy 9, a very rare genetic disease. His heart finally gave up. Here is a site that has info about Trisomy 9, http://www.trisomy9.com/. To make matters worst, I got really sick from the D&C. I picked up bronchitis and my immune system was so low that made me so weak that it took me so long to recover.
My DH and I will take a break for the rest of the year and start again maybe next year. Hopefully, 2009 will be a better year for us.
Thank you for all the support. And please keep me sending news, whether it be bad or good cuz I'm still here and would like to be part of everyone's journey. We are all here for the same reason and will always be here to support everyone.
Good luck to everyone!!!
Melissa
