My Pregnancy\u00a0<\/strong>
\nMy husband and I found out January 2003 that we were pregnant with our 3rd child.\u00a0 My pregnancy was going well.\u00a0 I was experiencing the normal feelings like morning sickness, tenderness in the normal areas.\u00a0 I went to my first OB appointment in April to determine that I was pregnant. See I never found out till I was already 3 months.\u00a0 Well they did the normal routine complete physical and all.\u00a0 They also check to hear the heart beat. Which they could not find. Which I was not to nervous cause with my other 2 pregnancies my babies like to hide from the Doppler. So they did a ultrasound and found the heartbeat.\u00a0 Well my appointments were going well with my midwife until the fatal week.\u00a0 I was 4 months pregnant and 14 weeks to be exact.\u00a0 I had went in for a ultrasound to determine the sex. Well the ultrasound Tech was doing the normal and checking the size of all the limbs and etc. Well the numbers were not adding up correctly for the week that I was at.\u00a0 So the doctor sent me to a High Risk Office to get a better understanding of the situation. Well my husband and I found out our worst nightmare.\u00a0 It was actually May 28, 2003 we found out our baby was not going to be normal. Her arms, legs, thighs, upper arms and etc. was not correct with the week I was.\u00a0 The doctor said our baby was going to be a Dwarf and it was the lethal type.\u00a0 So everyone there thought we should have an abortion. Well we decided againt that and continued the pregnancy. I did opp for a amnio though.\u00a0 So Friday May 30, 2003 I went to have that done.\u00a0 Three weeks had past and finally the results came back as saying that it was true, and that we were having another daughter.\u00a0 With knowing that we kept the pregnancy going on.\u00a0 At 28 weeks I went into preterm labor they gave me meds to stop my contractions and they worked. I was in and out of the hospital for the next few weeks. Well my last time in for preterm labor was a wed. and I went into full labor that same week on Friday the 12 of Sept.<\/p>\n

The birth of Erin Alexandria<\/strong>
\nIt was Friday September 12, 2003 and everything was normal for a Friday morning. My aunt stayed the night before so I was not alone. My husband had work the night before. I was having problems sleeping that Thursday evening though.\u00a0 But when the morning came I was still having small contractions.\u00a0 So my husband went on to bed and my aunt and I started our day with my other 2 children.\u00a0 But 11a.m. came and my contractions were getting closer and hurting frequently.\u00a0 So I walked around my house for an hour, then at Noon I called my doctors office and they told me to go to the Hospital. So I called my mother and my aunt stayed with my children.\u00a0 My mother picked me up 15 minutes later. That felt like an hour waiting. But we got to the hospital between 12:45 and 1:00p.m.\u00a0 They put me in a Triage room and put me on monitors. Well after the nurse checked me I was already 4 cm. dilated and she was on her way.\u00a0 Well then I called my husband and he was on his way too.<\/p>\n

Well they got me into a regular room and got me all set up.\u00a0 My labor went fast so quickly I was not able to get a epidural. So all I had was Demerol in me.\u00a0 When I sat up to get the epidural Erin\u2019s heartbeat started to go down quick. So they got me on all fours and I delivered her before I knew what was going on. I remembered the nurse saying DO NOT PUSH. I told her I have a bowel movement and I just pushed her out. My doctor got there just in time. She was born at 5:03\u00a0p.m. It was only a 3 hour delivery.\u00a0 She was a beautiful baby weighing 4 pds. 6 oz. and 13 inches long.\u00a0 She was 6 weeks early.<\/p>\n

The death and funeral of Erin<\/strong>
\nI got to see Erin before they took her over to the Children\u2019s Hospital across the way.\u00a0 A couple minutes her doctor came into my room after checking her over. He said that it was definitely Thanthopic Dysplasia and she was not going to make it. Well my husband and I had to make the decision weather to take her off life support or let her suffer and try to make it.\u00a0 Well I said I wanted to hold my daughter and they knew my decision. So an hour later they brought her in and I held her, her daddy, grandparents and her aunt ( my sister) and friends were able to hold her too. Well her heart stop beating and she was turning blue.\u00a0 We thought she had passed on, but she was still fighting and retrieved. But at 8:13 p.m. she did peacefully passed away in my arms never opening or making a sound. She only gasped for breath.\u00a0 The next morning I woke up asking myself where my baby was.\u00a0 My husband made her funeral arrangement that day too.\u00a0 We laid her to rest on Tuesday September 16, 2003.\u00a0 She is now peacefully resting at Chesapeake Memorial Gardens in Chesapeake, VA.<\/p>\n
