    • About Me

      Hi my name is Pamela, I just had my second, second trimester miscarriage this one was due to incompetent cervix. I have also suffered from ulcerative colitis as a child. In 1991 I had a colectomy and I have had an illiostomy pouch ever since. I am having a lot of trouble healing emotionally and I am loosing hope.My boyfriend and I really wanted this one he he was born may 20, 2008 and lived for two hours and struggled to breathe the doctors didnt try to do much for me or my baby. I dont want to blame it on the hospital but it was a terrible experience.
