Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
So dont really know where to start but i fell pregnant eraly this year. My pregnancy was going well i found out i was pregnant at 7 wk where i got to hear my child heart and i fell in love. They booked me in for another ultrasound at 16 wk nothing has changed baby was perfect healthy. They then booked me to book in for a 20 wk ultrasound. When going to this ultrasound my partner and i were so excited we were going to fine out the gender and to see if my child was healthy. After the ultrasound the doctor came in and told us that the baby had fulid in his stomach. And that we would have to see another doctor asap so they called and arange for us to fly to townsville the next day. He did tests to see if i had cought and ifection i had to wait for results so they sent me home. They told me it would be about a week for the results. It was the most painful week i have ever had to go through waiting for results. Amd then they called and evething had changed my life had change i had to make a decision to keep my baby or to have an abortion. I had cought Cytomegalovirus (CMV)during my first trimester. They told me that i could either get an abortion or to see if my child would fight this virus on his own. So i had to fly back to townsville at 23 wk where they asked me again but this time they said that my boy might pass inside me before i got to meet him. I still chose to hang on qnd pray that he would make it thay he would survive the doctor said that i had to see the doctor every week to check that he was still alive and growing. At 26wk when i had another ultrasound the had realosed my boy had a stoke i was then ryshed back to townsville where i had a mri done on my babys head. He had then stoped growing in the weeks to come. Weeks past and at 30 wks they realized his hart rate was dropping. (THB THe doctors didnt think he would make it this far but i was holdng on praying and he was sticking in there) so they continue to check me over each week and at 32 wks his stomach was much bigger then his body ahould have been i blew up like a balloon and he had stopped taking in fluid that his hart was faling and that it was almost the size of his chest. (I was also full time working but thats when i decided that i couldn't work anymore. The next week came so 33wk 4 in the morning i work up with a popping sound and a gush of water. Waters have broken.. they flew me to townsville. And that is where i had my boy he was born alive and he had a little help breathing and then they took it away. He was awake on my chest breathing his last breaths where i got to say my hello and my goodbyes .❤❤❤💔💔💔💔💙💙💙💙
So i guess the reason of my post is that know one really knows about this virus its never really talk about until you or someone else talks about it.
But this is my story about my son that i lost to a virus i had know understanding about.
RIP my son forever in my heart 💙💙💙💙💕💔💔
