I am 38 years old and had my first and only child when I was 19. my pregnancy was normal to say the least. when I gave birth my son was born healthy all 10 fingers and toes. but instead of the doctor waiting for me to push the after birth out he pulled it out along with my uterus. I bleed to death litterly died for 3min then 1 week in a coma. when I woke up they told me they had to perform an emergency hysterectomy and I couldn't have anymore kids....at least I was blessed with one they all said. it's been real tough seeing friends and family getting pregnant and I've dealt with it until the last 5 years I've been so depress waiting a baby of my own and not being able to have that option. and the option of having someone else carry your child is so expensive that I've given up ever becoming a mom agian. I am lucky to have one they all say...yes it's true but very hard to grasp it. (just needed to vent)
