Okay so most of you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but it is also something that hits home with me. October is also pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. In april of 2007 I gave birth to a little boy. During my whole pregnancy I had several problems and when I would have ultra sounds it seemed like they always found something new that was wrong. I didnt have any amniotic fluid, which was causing my babys lungs to not develop, on top of other things. One of the Doctors wanted me to have an abortion. I couldnt live with myself had I went thru an abortion, (Not throwing shade at anyone) it just wasnt an option for me at that point. So anyway it was almost my due date and I had been told that there were slim chances that my baby was going to live.
Could you imagine how scared I was? I cant even put it into words. I gave birth to my 5 lb 8 oz baby boy April 12 2007. He lived a short 1 hour and 15 minutes. He was diagnosed with Potters Syndrome. I held him the entire time and cried. No one knows the hurt and the pain that i have went thru since that day. But i have an angel baby. Theres not one single day that he doesnt cross my mind.
So October isnt all about saving the boobies, its about awarness of our babies that arent on this earth any longer. <3
Sorry this one is a little more sad than my normal posts, Thanks for taking the time to read it.
Until next time.. xoxo
