Brianna

I'm new to the group and I thought I would just tell my story. I have had complications through both my pregnancies. my first pregnancy and did it in a miscarriage at 12 weeks . my second pregnancy my daughter had a severe growth restriction I was sick from day one. she end up stop moving inside of me and they were afraid she was going to become a stillborn so they decided to pull at 36 weeks. she was born at 3.13 lb and 17 in Long. we had to stay in the nicu for 6 days because she was having a hard time controlling her body temperature. she is now 16 months and 19 lb. when I didn't think my pregnancies could have got any worse I got pregnant again. my third pregnancy I had complications from day one. when I was 25 weeks pregnant they found fluid in the baby's brain and she also had a growth restriction like my other daughter. they sent me to Children's where I had a getting an MRI on the baby's brain while she was still inside. I also had to it's genetics test and done of my baby. from 26 weeks on I had 5 appointments a week. I had an ultrasound or two I had 2 non-stress test I had my doctor appointment and I had a high risk doctor appointment. at 36 weeks I had an appointment and they did an ultrasound I end up having my second emergency C-section. they had to talk with me to let me know they didn't know what was going to happen but they were afraid that my daughter was having a seizure inside of me. in the ultrasound she was not breathing with her lungs also she was not moving her spine hands and legs and she kept in twitching. she weight 4.15 lb and 16.75 In long. she is 3 weeks old now. I ended up getting my tubes tied after this pregnancy because I don't know what I would have had to deal with for my next pregnancy. But I am happy to say I have two beautiful daughters that are very healthy right now
