Spent the night at labor and delivery being monitored. I’m having painful visible contractions but it’s not progressing (cervix is still long and closed, waters are not ruptured) fingers crossed this baby stays put! She seems willing to so far, and they think a kidney infection set it off, so on IV antibiotics.
@the_road_to_oz oh geez! I hope baby stays put! Thinking of you!

Contractions have mostly stopped, and we confirmed a kidney infection, so it’s just fluids and antibiotics. Hoping I get to go home today, but glad we are getting the care we need and she’s safe!
@the_road_to_oz im so sorry you had that pain and traumatic experience. And I’m glad they have it figured out and and are treating the problem. I hope everything goes well with the treatment for a quick recovery 💕💕💕
@the_road_to_oz what a scare! I’m glad to see they identified what was going on you’re getting treatment, and baby is doing well. Sending positive thoughts your way.
A week ago, today I had to say goodbye to my baby boy, Alex.
It all started a week before that when I woke up Saturday night with a sharp
pain in my chest/ ribs that radiated in my back. The first time it happened I
though I had just slept weird, but when it happened the next two nights, I contacted
my doctor. My doctor had me come in and check by blood pressure and my urine
for protein, but both were normal. She believed that I had pulled a muscle
since taking Tylenol took away the pain. She told me that if it did not go away
in the next few days to call her back. The pain did not go away and became
worse to the point where it happened several times a day. My doctor had me come
in for blood test that week Friday. On Saturday she called me and said that my
liver enzymes were slightly elevated and that my platelet count was a little
low. To be on the safe side she wanted me to come to the hospital to run more
tests. Sunday morning my liver enzymes had take a dive and my platelet count
was very low, I was diagnosed with Hellp Syndrome. Hellp Syndrome is an extreme
form of preeclampsia that starts to show down your organs. Nobody really knows what
causes Hellp Syndrome, but the only cure is to deliver the baby. So last week
Sunday my doctor induced me and after 36 hours I gave birth the Alex. Alex was
only 21 weeks and was too young to survive. My baby boy was prefect and I feel
like my body failed him. This last week has been pure hell. I feel so lost and
all I want is to have my baby boy back, I would give anything to make that
happen. My heart is truly broken, and I don’t know how to move on.
I hope you ladies have a smooth rest of your pregnancy. If
you feel that something is off, please talk to your doctor right away as it
could be the difference between coming home with your baby or not.
@MelanieCSU I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine.

@MelanieCSU I’m so so sorry. Thinking of you. I know there’s nothing much else to be said, but I do hope you’ll find some peace and a way to move forward. Thank you for sharing.
