I have 6 children. Katherine 19, Heather 16, Michael 8, David 7, Declan 5, Jasmine 3. I have also lost 12 babies. One of them was Declan's twin. So I guess you could say, I've seen alittle bit. But we're still here and we have a happy family
My hubby is a Barrister ( In America they are called Attorneys but here only Barristers do court work, Solicitors do the preliminary "stuff"). He is the best Father that anyone could ask for. He takes such good care of all of us and gives so much to the children. He's always playing with them, reading them stories ( with all the voices) and talking to them all the time, telling them all sorts of things. I truely think that the children are his best freinds!
He also takes such good care of me. I feel truely spoiled! He's very domesticated! Every night before I fall asleep he whispers "I'm so glad I found you" I have heard that every night of our marriage. I'm soooooo lucky, God has been good to me.
I've done a sqillian different things, like running an Acting school, an online buisness, Modeling, I've been in hospitality, stockbroking and realestate but I'm now happily just homeschooling my little people( still with my online buisness). Much fun I have to say! :-)
I'd love to hear from anyone that cares to "chat" so do stop by my page.
The Story so far
( strap on your seat belts, it's a long ride! :-))
I have had 12 miscarriages and 6 healthy children. The first miscarriage was 18 yeas ago and I still remember that vividly. Kyle was 17 1/2 wks. I never found out what happened to him. I lost ALOT of blood, my vains collapsed and they had to revive me. I'm lucky to be here. The only reason I survived, I'm sure, is that my daughter was in the hall at the time of when I "died" and she suddenly burst out screaming "Mummy don't go!" At that I sat bolt upright! Took the nurses and the Doctors quite by surprise!
Well anyway, then I had 3 healthy children. Then came Mary, who I lost at 16 1/2wks. She was lost to Toxoplasimia. There was nothing that could be done to save her.
I lost 2 more after her. Then I fell pregnant with twins! One of them didn't make it. Lost Jo at 13wks.
We were very afraid for little Declan and I had to have alot of rest. During that pregnancy, we had the devistating fires in Jan 2003. We had to evacuate our home and we didn't know for a couple of day's whether our house was still standing. Here I am, supposed to be taking it easy and I was driving out of town to our in-laws and had gone into very early labour. I used my WHOLE ventelin and that calmed the contractions down! So Declan was able to keep from being born untill ONLY 3weeks early!
QUITE the accomplishment! We then lost 2 more little ones. Never having a reason for them.
The first ultrasounds would show healthy babies but then things would go wrong and I'd loose them. Then we had little Jasmine,
perfect and healthy, well mostly, she had silent reflux but that was treatable, so she's good now.:-) In 2006 I had an ectopic pregnancy. This little one got OUT of the tube and had lodged in my abdominal cavity. While I did have pain, I didn't pay much mind to it, as it was high up and I just thought I had eaten some bad chicken! ( along with I have an EXTREEMLY high pain threshold)I didn't even know I was pregnant! The week I found out, I had just finished a film shoot. That was the hardest shoot ever, I had to play a very calm nurse and all the time I was thinking I was dying from food poisoning! Anyway, I went to the Doc' because my stomac suddenly swelled and I was somewhat alarmed. I had taken a Preg' test the night before and was pretty excited but confused as too the swelling, I knew I had been busy but was I that pregnant and hadn't noticed? Well no, I wasn't that far along. Turned out that I had been internally bleeding for probably two weeks and the swelling was from the amount of blood! They had me in surgery within 2 hours of the ultrasound! The Doc' was so amased at how much blood I lost, he took photos! My GP couldn't understand how I hadn't suffered a heart attack from blood loss. But I guess I have more to do on this world of ours. I became pregnant again and all seemed to be ok untill 13wks.
I lost the baby at home and then hemeraged and collapsed at home. My daughter had to ring for the ambulance ( my Hubby had gone to the shop and didn't know what happened untill he walked in to find Heather with the phone!) The Ambulance guys were great, they stabalised me enought to get me to hospital but once getting there the placenta started to tear the uterine wall and I started to hemerage angain. They had me in emergancy surgury so fast, I barely remember much of what happened.
Since then I have lost another 3.
The thing is, I'm healthy, everything seems to work properly, so there wasn't any obvious things that these loses could be attributed with. It has only been the last loss that we have FINALLY found out what is Wrong. Along with having a low progesterone, I have Thrombophilia. You can have this to varying degrees from 40-80 which is nothing to worry about to Mmmm interesting. I came back with a level of 160, showing that this is why I have been loosing my babies. This is a clotting disorder. Clots attack the placenta and blood flow can not get through, so the baby has nothing to survive on. THERE IS A REMEDY!!!!!!!!!
All I need is 20mg of CLEXANE per day ( in needle form, ahhhhhh) for the duration of a pregnancy untill 37wks. And for the progesterone, I have pessories for at least the first trimester. SO I have a script for Clexane ready and a bottle of Natural Progesterone in the fridge waiting for the IF/WHEN we fall again. My Doc' thinks its a WHEN as we have never had a problem with our fertility. I am very greatfull that my Ob' was human enough to say " I DON'T KNOW WHY this is happening to you, BUT there is a new Doctor in town that has experience with reacuring misscarriage so maybe she can help!" Well help she HAS.
I first saw her on March the 6th and here we are a month and a half later, with ANSWERS.
I thank God every day.
So that's it I guess.![]()
We'll see what God has for us. Hopefully more little people :-)
Have a great day and keep well. I wish you all the best from Down Under!
