I had many complications with my pregnancy. I hemmoraged so bad that I passed out at home and was taken to the emergency room by ambulance. They decided the baby was too much in distress and wheeled me into the operating room for an emergency c-section. She was born 6 weeks early at 5 lbs. 8 oz. I had complications that kept me in ICU overnight, and in a regular ward for another day. They didn't move me to maternity until she was 2 days old, and I still hadn't seen her. I got out of bed as soon as they got me there and walked to NICU to see her for the first time. They weren't sure if she would survive (she was born without a heart beat), so they didn't put me in a room with a mom with a healthy baby so I wouldn't be jealous. They put me in a room with a woman that was pregnant and hadn't been able to keep down any food. Seriously, she would vomit if they even gave her water to drink!!! I got out of there as soon as I could, which was 6 days. Jennifer had to stay another 2 weeks in NICU. She came home from the hospital on my birthday. Decided pregnancy wasn't for me and didn't try again!!!!!
