I went to hospital yesterday, with sharp
pains in my lower stomach, it felt like I
was ripping on the inside.
I was sent in for a scan, which showed
that im 14.5 weeks with anpther little
girl but, the cord is wrapped around my
babys stomach 4 times, tightly.
They said she had been growing like this
for the last couple of weeks, and the cord
has just been getting tighter and
tighter.
I had had pains before, and just thought
nothing of them, I should have gone to the
hospital before.
My waters are very low, I cant remember
the number they gave me, but its just over
half of what it should be.
They told me they cant do anyhting at the
moment!!
They can try for a cesarian at 24 weeks,
but anything else they can do will most
deffinatly kill the baby.
Im hurting so bad, its worse because I can
still feel her kicking, her heart rate is
low, and im taking tablets to try and help
her, but they make me feel sick.
They told me entaglment dosent usually
happen untill after 25 weeks!
What am I supposed to do now??

Oh boy max. I don't know what to say.
I know there are complications that can
arise when someone gets pregnant again so
quickly especially when you're young but
i've never heard about this prob before.
Can they not go in and untangle her? I
don't know,like make a lil cut in your
tummy and try it that way? Did hey say
what it was caused by? I will keep you
and her in my thoughts.
:hugs:max

Hi.
I went back into hospital again today, for
them to do another check.
Her heartbeat is even lower than
yesterday, but ive only taken 6 tablets so
far, so im hoping it will improove over
the next day or so.
Though, this sounds absolutly terrible...
Part of me is hoping it dosent.
I can hardly bear knowing that it is
extremly unlikly that she will survive at
the moment. I dont think I can go many
more weeks, and letting her get stronger,
for her only to die anyway.
They did a length and weight thing. And
they said she is approximitly 3.5 inches,
and 100grams. Which is very small for
nearly 15 weeks.
I havent felt her move at all today, and
im so worried, jay is the only person
keeping me together at the moment.
They cant do an op. And go and untangle
her, because my waters are so low, and
they cant risk having my waters any lower,
there lower than they were yesterday.
Apparently my body is having problems
supplying everything needed for this
pregnancy, after being pregnant, 2 weeks
after having jay.
They told me if things arnt looking up in
3 days time, they can go in and remove
her.
They said they cant leave things to much
longer though, because my placenta isnt
working right either.
My baby has like almost no chance now, and
its heart wrenching.
Im on strict bed rest for the next few
days, with a midwife coming in every 4
hours to check my baby.
Im only posting this, so people know how
important it is, not to get pregnant so
soon after giving birth. Although this
pregnancy was a complete accident - the
condom burst, I feel so guilty.
I'll come on tomorrow evening for a few
mins.
If anyone has any advice, it would be
greatly appreciated.

You don't need advice. You are working it
out just right.
I am proud of you to be able to come to
terms with this. So many pregnancies end
in miscarriage even before the women know
they are pregnant. Many carry for months
only to find out the child is sickly.
I am not a religous person but do have to
say that somewhere somehow, perhaps an
unborn child is saved by not making it
into this world.
If this pregnancy is meant to be, it will
be. Dr.'s are fooled everyday.
I pray that by your next check up you will
hear a different story, if not then I pray
your pain will be eased by your
wisdom.
What you are feeling, don't feel guilty
about. It takes a big person to be able
to admit to feeling human in a very
emotional situation.
Please post back and let us know.
Heather

I know what you are going thru, I just
hope they give you something to make you
both comfortable because I do realize that
it is hell, all we can do now is hope for
a miracle!
Sincerely,
sandy

Max sweetie all I can do is pray for you.
How is garry being? Please come on to
the other forum too. I posted your post
and the girls are wondering how you're
doing. Did they tell you that getting
pregnant so soon was the reason? God I
just feel for you, thank god you do have
jay with you, i'm sure she is keeping you
sane. Please let us know what happens.
