I Think You Huys Should Really Here My Story And Think
Posted: 12-26-04 01:01am

About having ur babies after ur due dates and being induced.My original due date was march 29, 2003, so my doctor scheduled me for an ultrasound on march 28th to check on the growth and the weight of melia. I loved being able to see her on that little screen. She had a strong beat and they estimated her to be about seven pounds. My doctor also checked me internally and told me that I would have to be induced. I thought no problem- I did not want to wait anymore to see my baby. He scheduled me to come in and start my induction on april 1st. As soon as I left the doctors office I called everyone and told them I was going to have melia in 4 days! I was so excited I could barely sleep at night.
Finally april 1st was here! After my husband got home from work we loaded the car, made sure the car seat was in correctly, got my bags, and were off to the hospital. When we arrived at the hospital they checked me in and had me change into a hospital gown. There was one nurse talking to me while another nurse hooked the monitors around my belly. This will always be the moment that will haunt me every single day for the rest of my life. The nurse that hooked me up to the monitors was having trouble finding melia's heartbeat. She started saying stuff like "sometimes this happens", and "the baby could be turned". I started to get worried after a couple of minutes because they never had this problem before. They called in two more nurses and they were all pushing on my stomach trying to move melia around. By this time I was crying hysterically. They told me I should calm down and that it could be nothing,-but in that same breath they were calling a doctor to come in my room. The doctor looked around for melia's heartbeat and then gave me this look. Her expression told me what she was going to say before her mouth opened, "i'm sorry, but your baby's heart isn't beating". What?!?! What are you talking about I thought. I just seen her heart beating three days ago and I am already past my due date. I am here to be induced so I can take my baby home. I want to take melia home. My doctor did another ultrasound and I saw her little heart on the screen, and it wasn't moving. My sweet little baby, my melia wasn't with me anymore. She died inside of me and I didn't even know it. Everything after that is pretty much a blur.
My induction didn't work so I gave birth to my daughter c –section the next morning. She was absolutely beautiful. Melia was six pounds fourteen ounces and twenty inches long. She had a head full of brown hair and the longest legs I have ever seen!
I laid my daughter to rest on april 5, 2003 at 4:30pm. She was my life and now I have to live it without her....
My story and my heart are dedicated to my daughter melia ray brancato. I love you so much melia, and I know that I will be with you again.
Hugs and kisses....Mommy
