I had a rare condition not yet found at the time of my 2nd pregnancy
I had a rare condition not yet found at the time of my 2nd pregnancy . It was discovered from having my first child which was a preemie, his name is Eric & he is five years old 😘 they said it was because my uterus was tilted but during my second pregnancy with Delilah which has her wings now. As I mentioned the tilted uterus from being concerned about going into premature labor , so during my exam it was discovered that I had two uteruses that was very rare .
The end of February and all the way through March I felt something was wrong and I was having these stabbing like pains after several trips to my local hospital and to my caretaker OB GYN they kept their focus on the baby they could not find anything wrong & so they told me to rest & the babies heartbeat was strong and all other guidelines , measurements was normal.
In April I became very nauseous one evening as I dashed to the bathroom I felt so hot " sweating like , my body felt like it was on fire so I stripped off all my clothes as I was doing so I started feeling those sharp pains again . I was yelling for my husband and then I passed out 😵..
my husband as soon as he seen me he knew it was very serious . He called 911 . Once we arrived at the hospital , my body temp and BP still dropping, they could not find the problem. My baby's heartbeat was still very strong but I was dying . I had lost 4 pints of blood , my BP was 57/30 and my body temp was 57 degrees. They did all kinds of test as I laid there all night long , while they tried to find out what was wrong . Finally because of the complications with my first child & not able to see clearly when doing the ultrasound . They approached us and wanted to do a CAT scan because the baby was still alive with a healthy heartbeat & the radiation that the CAT scan would put out therefore there was no way the baby would survive it .
I was in the beginning of my Second trimester therefore the Delilah even though she was healthy would not of survived , so my husband agreed .
The results were evenmore unbelievable . The doctors said that the results showed that my uterus had split in half , remember I had two uteruses . So my doctor at the time said that , that was evenmore rare and she had her doubts about the findings from the cat scan . Also no more time bc I was getting weaker & weaker. So they started preparing to do exploratory surgery , this was like 6 hours later and I was continuing to lay there losing even more blood .
So after 4 hours & 4 pints of blood later my uterus had split in half & the smaller one had apparently started tearing and my sweet Delilah was out of the uterus but still alive up until the CAT scan . she was healthy it was not a miscarriage, the uterus that my daughter was in was under developed and weak . Therefore , my rare condition " having two uteruses " became even more rare when the one that Delilah was in had started to tare so as it continue to tear over the the end of my first trimester into the beginning of my second trimester I was slowly bleeding internally .
The doctors said my smaller uterus was the size of a grapefruit . Also that that was why my first child was born a preemie .
This is the story of my sweet Delilah who gained her wings sooner than later ....
