HELLO

MY NAME IS BRANDI AND I AM 22 AND I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT WHEN I WAS 21 AND I WAS THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE BABY FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS AND THEN IT FINALLY HAPPENED FOR ME. MY PREGNANCY WAS GOING SO GOOD, I WENT TO MY OB CHECKUP I WAS 37 WEEKS AND I WAS 3CM DIALATED AND 75% EFFACED BUT MY BP WAS HIGH AND MY DOCTOR WAS WORRIED SO SHE WANTED TO MONITOR ME FOR AN HOUR BUT THERE WAS NO CHANGE SO SHE SAID I HAD PREECLAMPSIA AND THAT SHE WANTED TO INDUCE ME. SO I WAS INDUCED ON MARCH 1ST,THEY PUT ME ON MAG AND SOME OTHER MEDS. I HAD A HEATHLY AND BEAUTFUL BABY GIRL ON MARCH 2ND AT 12:45AM AND SHE WEIGHED 7LB AND 8OZ. AROUND 4 O'CLOCK, I GOT UP TO USE THE BATHROOM I PASSED OUT AND WHEN I WOKE UP I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME, ALL I SAW WAS THE NURES AND MY DOCTOR AND MY BOYFRIEND HE WAS CRYING, I ASKED WHAT HAPPENED AND THE DOCTOR TOLD ME I HAD THREE SEIZURES, I WAS SO SCARED . ALL I COULD THINK WAS, I DON'T WANT TO DIE. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR SIX DAYS THEN WE WERE RELEASED. I WENT BACK FOR MY SIX WEEK CHECKUP AND I HAD FORMED A BLOOD CLOT FROM THE IV IN MY ARM SO THE DOCTOR PUT ME ON A BLOOD THINER,WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS FOUR MONTHS OLD I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT AGAIN SO I STOPPED TAKING THE BLOOD THINER. ONE MONTH LATER I LOST THE BABY BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MUCH BLOOD AROUND THE SACK AND IT WAS FROM THE BLOOD THINNER I WAS ON, IT WAS THE SADEST THING TO LOOSE A BABY. SO MY DAUGHTER IS 13 MONTHS NOW AND WE WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY AND I WOULD LIKE ANYONES OPINION ON WHAT I SHOULD DO.
