We lost our son Tristan 3.28.13 at 31 weeks. He had trisomy 18 and he was born to heaven. I woke up yesterday like any other day when my DH kissed me goodbye on his way to work. About 15 minutes later I felt a pop and my water broke. I called my husband and he came back and we went to the hospital after we got everything packed. I had nothing ready because I was only 31 weeks, we were def not expecting to have him so soon. I was checked shortly after I got to the hospital around 8, and I was only 1 fingertip dilated. Checked again around 2 and I was 1.5cm. I was stalling on getting the epidural because this was my first pregnancy so I had no idea how it would feel. Finally decided to get it around 4 cause they were starting to be somewhat painful. By the time they came to give me the shot the contractions were pretty unbearable. Around 5 the dr came to check me and I was FULLY dilated! Omg, I was scared!!! So I started pushing shortly after that, 4 sets of 3 pushes and Tristan was out. He was born at 6:08pm weighing 3.1lbs, 15.5 inches. His face was already blue and he never took a breath. We were able to spend about 23 hours with him until we took him to be cremated. This is our first night without him since before I was pregnant. I'm so heartbroken and scared. We love and miss him so very much.
