Gastroschisis

story added by froggieandone on 14 May 2007 within the Gastroschisis Birth Story category

Hello all My name is Kymmy My son was born 3/21/03 with gastro he is doing well now we have had alot of set backs in the begining with hernias alergies you name it.

Well He is truly a miracle I was supposed to have reconstructive surgery on my uterus before I could carry a child full term

(I had 9 miscarriages before he came long) they needed to take a tremendous amount of scar tissue out. But when I went to the hopsital for a severe migrain  and stomach pains the told me I was 3 weeks pregnant, I was happy at first untill I realized that,”Hey why am I getting excited and happy I wont carry for long”, So the docs put me on bedrest. I was doing well until I hit the middle of the 3rd month then

I started having contractions and spotting right away I thought the worst, but the docs put me on meds to stop the contractions and steroids for his lungs I went in for contractions at least once a week so they would mess with my meds. I lasted until 8 1/2 months then was rushed in for an emergency c-section cause his heart rate dropped dramaticaly then went almost off the charts.

Well sorry I went on and on but I love my little miracle and am very lucky to have him and he is doing so well. Thank you for listening to my story and I wish you all luck and am here if any one wants to talk.

Sincerely,

Kymmy
