Your uterus was split?

Not truly split - it was malformed so one side grew normal and the other - well, didn't so I had a normal half uterus and an extra malformed bit with a teeny tiny tract from the main uterus to the little bit.

and oliver grew in the deformed part?

Yup.
My lil' eggie decided to hide in the small malformed extra bit instead.

Was there ever any hope that .Oliver could have made it to term? What I mean is, did he pass away because of where he was situated or was it for some other reason?

The top of the uterus he was in started to tear.

The u/s tech saw a lot of fluid in my abdomen and so I was sent for a laparoscopy (keyhole investigation) but instead they did a laparotomy (slice you open) and ruptured it further and so the they decided with out my consent or steve's to take him - he was still alive with a good strong heartbeat, and then decided they couldn't repair my uterus after they ripped it open to take the baby out and so removed it - completely failing to notice the main uterus at all.


If they had done things properly, there is a high chance, that with bed rest, I might have made it to 24 weeks or more seeing as I already had the rupture 4 weeks, but they chose to ignore my comments and recurrent hospital trips as "women get pains during pregnancy".


And now, the hospital wonder why I am p*ssed at them

rupture however is unavoidable when pregnancy occurs in a rudimentary horn, point is they didn't even try.

oh i'm so sorry! Did you get to hold your little boy?

When I came out of intensive care I did get to hold him for a few minutes. I also have a few pictures of him plus prints from his feet.

***edit to add***
if anyone wants to see his pics you can ask but otherwise I won't show because they can be quite upsetting if you aren't expecting what you see.
Albeit he is a perfectly formed little boy.

Oh kia, that's just so sad. I'm so sorry you've had such pain.

Thank you hunni.

I just know that when I say I had a hemi~hyst but I have a uterus or try to explain that part of my uterus didn't grow and I had an extra bit it's so hard to visualize, so hopefully everyone can better understand this kookie old english lass now

Oh kia-

i am sorry you had to go through that. Do you still have your cervix?? I hope you get pregnant real soon!! **baby dust** to you!

Bridgett

yes, if you look what I posted in the pics, you can see (as explained) they only removed the rudimentary horn - they failed to notice the main uterus, to which the cervix is connected.

Oh sorry kia-

i understand now.

Bridgett

If it makes you feel better, i've been told that I would never be able to have a baby (carry to term). Ha! So it's possible!!!

I've seen the pics before and oliver was a beautifull tiny lil boy and I would try and sue the pants off that hosp. F*ck i'd fly over there and kick the docs a$$ myself if I could.

Xoxo

Kia, I am so sad and mad!! I can't believe what had happened. My heart goes out to you. I am shocked.

Ohh my .Kia <3 <3 <3 <3
.I'm so sorry. You're so strong.
I really admire that.


How far along were you when it happened?

I didn't really know exactly why you lost your beautiful baby .Oliver, but I believe that anything is possible and you will one day get your miracle .Kia!

I'll be praying for you sweetie!
