Being pregnant wi PCOS
I got told for years that i never had PCOS! but when i found it very difficult to conceive, i got referred for infertility treatment, they done alot of tests and got to the bottom of it i actually did have PCOS i was so shocked cause for all this time i had got told everything was fine.But they were going to help me.I started the ball rolling we waited on the list for 3 years, everything was ready to go. But we decided to wait for a few months to get sorted. And that is when i fell pregnant naturally, i could not have been happier. But 6 weeks ago (8/8/11) i went into premature labour I was 24 weeks plus 2 and my beautiful baby boy (Oscar) fell asleep shortly after. I am devastated. The doctors at hospital said nothing was wrong it just happened. But i blame myself everyday. It doesnt get easier at all. I cant stop thinking that my PCOS was to blame.
thanks for your comments! i have never been told if my PCOS could have caused anything through my pregnancy. But now i know, i think am just trying to get an answer and blaming myself. The doctors said he just wanted to come but he was to premature and it wasnt my fault or his. But sometimes you just want an answer "why". Thanks again.
I'm really sorry about your baby boy, but you are not the blame. PCOS is only responsable for not getting pregnant, not what happens after. Our body sometimes works in a way that we dont even understand. Maybe something was not right with your baby boy and your body fought againt it, just like when you get sick and your own body protects you by fighthing viruses. My sister had a baby and she lost her as well, but she was already 7 months (never left the hospital once she was born) Sometimes we just need to accept that its probably better for your baby than to have a hard life.
Your PCOS could not have caused pre-term labor. There is nothing you did that made this happen. It's just something horrible that no one had any control over. I know that nothing I say is going to make you feel better, only time will help. Hopefully, when you're feeling better - physically and emotionally - you'll be able to try again. I wish you the best of luck! :)
