Hello All,

This is my first post here and i would firstly like to say i'm sorry to everyone that has had a loss.

This is our story,

Found out i was pregnant the middle of september 08, we were over the moon to say the least.

1 week later i started to bleed, not spotting like i had been told could happen, but really heavily. I naturally went straight to emergency at the local hospital. They did the usual blood tests/ultrasound etc and at that point they could only determine that i had a pregnancy sac. There was no fetal pole present at this stage because i was too early.

Went back 1 week later to have another ultrasound and there was a fetal pole present but no heartbeat because i was still too early.

Went back another week later and there was our beautiful angel's heartbeat.

Because i was still bleeding heavily at this point i went for fortnightly checkups to make sure there still life inside me. There was every time i went.

I went for my 16 week checkup on the 27/11/08 and my doctor informed me that my waters had broken and sent me straight up to the ward for bed rest. Seeing my cervic was still closed our baby had a 1 in 4 chance of survival.

Unfortunatley at 7.34 pm 28/11/08 my cervix had opened and i delivered our sleeping angel and it was the hardest thing that i have ever had to do.

Still to this day i don't know why i started to bleed at 6 weeks and continued to bleed non stop for 10 weeks but hopefully when i go for a checkup in a few weeks time they can give me answers.

Hubby and i decided at the time of delivery that we want to try again ASAP but i feel that people might think we are just trying to replace our little one but thats not the case as all... Nothing can ever replace a lost child.

Go bless us all
