Miscarriage update **Photos**

Well, its been a rough couple days.

On Friday I posted a question about the normal amount of cervical mucus. The amount I had wasn't normal, but being a first timer I had no clue I was losing my goo. I had some replies and I appreciated every one of them. I needed the information that was given to me, and even if I went to the ER right away it still wouldn't have changed anything... 
 
This is the update:

I went to the ER on Saturday because of the loss of a HUGE clear intac****er balloon and then lots of bleeding. So the ER doc who has NO bedside manner tells us horrible things, and later we find out were mostly wrong. But regardless...I was admitted to the hospital, then things got really interesting... and not in a good way

I had a few ultrasounds done and the heartbeat was 165bpm,  a good strong heart beat. Was told that I had lost my fluid. Almost every bit of it. I had about 1cm left. normal is about 10... I had a tear in my bag and it was protruding through my cervix which had already dialated to 3cm.

I was given some options and we decided to induce, in the hopes of having a live birth.  I seen the MFM and was told that I have one of two problems probably, either an incompetant cervix OR a uterine infection.  Also, on a cute note, the baby was trying to walk out, the feet were in the cervix, kicking about. LOL.  A fighter I tell ya!!

I did suffer a placental abruption. I lost huge amounts of blood in the ER with massive clots and then again 36 hours later.

After the induction started it took about an hour to an 1.5 hours to get it going then it got really intense. The heartbeat was still around 160-110, it varied but it was still present.  I was breathing through it all and rocking side to side helping the contractions pass. I was dialated to 6cm and I had to urge and we went with it and it was done...

Conner Ryan King was born at 9:05pm on 8-2-2010. He weighed 3.2oz and is 6 1/4" long. It is noted in many books that a 21 week old fetus measures 7". Conner was 16 weeks. He is a long boy :)  But he was stillborn

After the birth I had horrid cramps  and had to try to pass the placenta and I couldn't so my dr, who I swear has lumberjack hands, reaches up to assist and couldn't. I had to have a curretage. (the C of  a D&C). After the surgery I had lost so much blood I had to have a transfusion.  During the birth and after my hands were numb, they said it was loss of blood. I knew it wasn't good. My husband just lost his newborn son and now he could lose me, due to the abruption

I received 2 units of blood and felt better in the am, the RN I had, Theresa, basically camped at my bedside all night. She was amazing...


We have a facebook account and if anyone would care to see the photos of our sweet boy. my name is christina schramm king ♥

I am proud to be Conners momma, whether he is here or not, He is still my sweet boy... and I miss him horribly...

You have been in my thoughts & prayers, since your previous post. I actually logged on today just to see if there was an update from you. I'm sure there are no words to console you as no one knows exactly how you are feeling. I do pray for peace & hope that you know we are all thinking of you during this time. I am amazed by your strength & positive attitude. Conner is blessed to have such an awesome Momma !

Wow! I am so sorry! Your story had me in tears. That is a terrible way to have a baby and a terrible thing to happen to a baby. I am so sorry this happened to you and your husband! I wish you a speedy recovery- if you can ever recover from something like that! I hope  that you can find peace and in the future, conceive again and have the healthy and happy baby you so deserve!
Hugs!!
Michele
