Hi All,
I didn’t post my story on the old board as it was all still too raw. So, here goes:
I’m 26, dh is 34, married 2 and 1/2 years. We live with our kitty George who has just turned 1.
I first fell pregnant Apr 05. All was going well until my routine check up with the midwife at 24 weeks. She discovered I had unusually high blood pressure and advised I go to the hospital straight away. To cut a long story short, I was admitted and everything went wrong from there. I developed early and severe pre-eclampsia and HELLP (problems with liver and kidney function and blood clotting). My placenta had stopped working and as a result we lost our baby. At 25 weeks I was induced and delivered. Our darling Joshua was stillborn on 25 Oct 2005.
We discovered I was pregnant in Feb this year. At 6 weeks I began to bleed and had terrible pain in my abdomen. I went to the EPU where they did a scan but could not find anything. I had Hcg taken and was told that the levels were normal and multiplying as they should be
A week later I was still bleeding and in pain. Still, nothing could be seen on the scan so they took more blood. I had to wait in the hospital until they had the results back from the lab. We were told the pregnancy was probably ectopic. I was taken into surgery that afternoon. My EP and tube was removed by laparoscapy.
We are slowly coming to terms with it all and hope ttc again in June.
