Then angel baby number 2 and I had surgery, and he insisted I did not need bedrest. I have no living children, and I want to blame him.
Thanks for giving me an excuse to let this out.
Hugs!
Pathology reports on umbilical cord and placenta found a blood clot. If the doc had delivered her the first night (we were full term, so he really didn't have a reason NOT to) she would probably be alive today. I can't tell you how angry and bitter I have been about this. I have basically hate almost every doctor I encounter anymore.
This was my time line:
Sunday Feb. 20 - went to the hospital with complaints of upper abdominal pain and high blood pressure.
Monday Feb. 21 - follow up with OBGYN, high blood pressure and severe swelling.
Thursday Feb. 24 - last office visit where Aaron failed his non stress test and I still had abdominal pain and swelling.
Monday Feb. 28 - date of scheduled csection and we went in to find Aaron had passed away sometime in the last 18 hours.
Turns out the abdominal pain I was having was liver pain - a HUGE sign of preeclampsia. I don't know why I saw the doctor 3 times, the last of which Aaron FAILED his non stress test and I still wasn't delivered early. I missed my baby by a few hours because he was moving the day before the csection. Why didn't they deliver me when he didn't do good on his non stress test??? Why where they so determined to get me to 39 weeks??? What would it have hurt to go a few days before my scheduled csection? How was I overlooked 3 different times with the symptoms of preeclampsia and nothing was done about it? I had preeclampsia with my older son and he was delivered at 36 weeks so why didn't i deliver earlier with Aaron? Why didn't I ask more questions and demand a closer look?? It makes me sick to my stomach. I hate that my arms are empty and I'm supposed to be taking care of a two month old right now. I hate that my older son doesn't have his baby brother. We can't even try again for a year because I had a csection, not that a new baby is going to replace Aaron but I'm so pissed. It just hurts so bad and I feel like if things had been done differently it wouldn't be like this. Thank you for letting me vent about it. Love Jessie
My daughter was healthy. I was healthy. I may never know why she is not here but I have decided to look at her death as a blessing. I never would have met all of you had she not died. I have to look at it that way in order to release the anger.
2: when my fluid was low she didnt just tell me theres a good chance he wong servive, she told me he was GOING to die. She said to prepare for his death! I was more focused on preparing for his life!!!! (Shes a cold hearted bitch!)
3: she is obsessed with the idea that my son had a genedic illness even though the autopsy report say he DIDNT and the doctors WHO TOOK THE TIME TO SEE HIM said he looks great for his gestational age and didnt appear to have any genedic disorder.
4: the worst thing she did was tell me, after i seen his perfect little heart not beating, that i should have perpared so it wouldnt hurt so much. are you kidding me? I hate that lady. Dosent she have a soul?
Anyways anyone in rochester ny area if you use highland hospital (it is a wonderful hospital with a great staff of nurses, doctors and midwives) DO NOT see doctor Queenen! Switch to strong!
