Hi ladies. Okay, so let me start out by saying, I am 21, and have had 4 miscarriages, at 16, 19, and 2 at 21. Almost 2 months ago, I delivered my beautiful baby girl at home. She weighed 2oz, and was 5 3/4" long. I was only 14 weeks. I've struggled with getting excited over pregnancy because it's always in the back of my mind that something is going to happen. Well, I was actually getting excited, because my 3 previous miscarriages were between 4-7 weeks. My doctor was hopeful, too. Then the contractions started. It was a very devastating night, followed by a heartache that only a mother who has lost a child can understand. So we started doing some testing to try to see if we could find an answer. After my 3rd miscarriage, my doctor did some bloodwork, and determined that I had a blood disorder called antithrombin lll deficiency. My doctor now says my levels are considered normal, and that although I have the disorder, I'm not deficient. So we did a new test this time, a sonohystogram. For those who don't know what that is, basically saline is injected into the uterus, and an ultrasound is done, to see any abnormalities. It was suspected that I have 1, a tilted uterus, and 2, that I have bands of tissue stretching across my uterus. Now, it hasn't been confirmed, because it requires a scope by inserted by a specialist to confirm the diagnosis, but I have an appointment Friday to have that done. What these bands do, is cause the placenta to implant incorrectly, causing a placental abruption. My doctor told me that when it's suspected by ultrasound, 9 times out of 10, he's right. I'm hoping this is the problem, and that I can go forward with the surgery, to have it fixed. I have always struggled coping with my miscarriages, but this one was far worse. To see my baby girl, and to hold her, was a feeling I'll never forget. She was moving in my hand, struggling to breathe. It completely broke my heart seeing her struggle the way she did, and there not being anything I could do to save her. I couldn't protect her. I just wanted to share my story. Thank you for reading!
