I made this Intrest

October 15, 2007 6:20pm CST
I made this intrest for the memory of my son Marshall. I lost Marshall on July 1 2000. He was 24 weeks gestation and just to small to survive. I think that there is not enough said about this topic and more people need to get informed of all the complications that pregnancy can bring. I would just like to offer a piece of advice NO MATTER WHAT if you think something is not right and others try to tell you it's nothing. PLEASE DON"T listen go and get everything checked out. Trust me it's better to be safe than to be sorry and I know sorry I have been sorry for the last 8 years of my life, you see I let my boyfriend tell me it was nothing it was just braxton hicks contractions and well after 2 hours I finally got out of bed to call a ambulance but my water broke on the way to get the phone and within 5 min my son was born. And 5 days later Marshall died.

God Bless you and yours. I feel your pain about Marshall. You are so right about having yourself and baby checked right away if you think something may be wrong. It's your body, your baby, and your intuition. Even if it turns out to be nothing at least you have the peace of mind that everything is all right. I pray that you will try again to have your miracle baby. They are precious gifts from God.

I am sorry for your loss. I too encourage every pregnant mother to seek help if you feel something is not right. Although I've had my share of 3 really bad pregnancies - thank god - my 3 children are all ok now but with my last I remember being in so much pain in my legs and back one night and I called friends/family to ask them questions and everyone pretty much blew it off and I finally fell asleep only to wake up in a pool of blood - I had placenta abruptia. My son was born premature with complications but is a healthy soon to be 3 years old now. I always said had I gone to the hospital - they would have known that my placenta was not right. I'm not sure if they could have done anything but at least I would have been there when I started bleeding. I lost a lot of blood and needed transfusions afterwards. My heart goes out to you. I have a friend who the same thing happened to - her water broke prematurely and the same day my little guy was getting released from the NICU - her baby was stillborn. I couldn't even face her...my heart ached for her. My prayers are with you and Marshall.
