Dealing with the Death of a Child: The Traumatic Story of Having a Child Stillborn
Let me give you a little background on myself. I had my son, Alexander Nicolas, when I was 17 years old. I was told shortly after I had him that due to a medical condition called Polyocystic Ovarian Disease I would never have another child. I went on to have 3 surgeries to try to increase my odds. I was told after my last surgery that I also have a bad left tube and that my chances of getting pregnant were 1 in 200,000.
Well in June of 2003, I started to bleed uncontrollably and went to the emergency room. The doctor was not sure what was going on so he sent for an OBGYN specialist. The specialist would proceed to tell me that I was having a miscarriage and that it was due to an infection probably in my left tube. That was when I lost Angel Rene. From the way that I had been feeling we have estimated that I was about 6 weeks pregnant. The doctor put me on antibiotics and told me to go home and rest.Three months following the miscarriage, I was pregnant with my miracle baby. The one that everyone had said I would never be able to have. I had a rough pregnancy and was put on bed rest for the last 3 months. On June 22, 2004 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Shania Mary. She had a few problems in the beginning but has since become a healthy child.
