Hi, I'm Rachel 20 n ma partner of 2 years is 31. After a year of TTC I fell pregnant, however in August 2007 I had to have a late termination at 6 months as our baby boy (sean) had severe problems- his brain had stopped growing very early on and parts such as the cerebellum had failed to grow
We was told he would have constant seizures, and basically be a "vegetable" and we would probably lose him shortly after birth. It was an extremely hard decisson to make, but we had to do what was best for Sean. I still had to go through labour, but at least we got to hold him and spend time with him afterwards. We haven't been offered a reason why this happened which is hard to deal with, and tests all came back fine for chromosone counts and gene tests. We have been told it was extremely rare and that Sean may have suffered an early stroke or blood clot
I had Sean on the 13th August, 5 weeks later my period returned and has been normal since, so we have began TTC again :-) Me and my partner both want a baby and as sure as I am that I want to concieve again, I know once I do I'm gunna be a nervous wreck!! So far, 2 months of trying- my next periods due on the 13th november, and I've just ovulated so fingers crossed!
Rachel xx
