Please pray for my son

posted 28th Oct '07

Well... This is going to be a lonnng story guys.


Last Sunday I felt icky all day and just tried to rest, later that nite I had went to my boyfriends house and could not sleep due to something feeling like it was sitting on my chest and stabbing me with a knife straight through. I sat on his couch for a couple of hours thinking it would just go away and then I started throwing up uncontrollably. I felt that something wasnt right so I woke him up finally around 5 am and he took me to the hospital. They told me that I had protein in my urine and that my blood pressure was 190/110 and that my kidneys and my liver was shutting down due to preeclampsia/toxemia. I was completely in shock. They did an ultrasound on the baby and he was doing okay, but apparently he wasnt growing the way he should. They told me that I was dialated to a 4 and that I was 50% effaced, my body was trying to get rid of the baby, and that I would be having the  baby that day, they rushed me to another hospital with a really good nicu because they knew how early he would be. They ended up having to do a c-section because due to my blood pressure  i could have had a stroke if I tried to push him out.


So..my little Devyn is here!! He was born Oct 22 at 1:36 pm and he weighed 2 lbs 3 oz (so tiny!) and he was 14 inches long.


He will be in the nicu for the next couple months because he was 2 months early. So far he has been doing so well, but they say they take it day by day, so if you pray, please think of my son! Thank you guys!

Well first off congrats on the delivery, unexpected as it was, at least he arrived safely.  Technology and medicine has progress so much over the years so hopefully your lil guy will be just fine throughout all this.  Sorry that you had to go through all of this, but I will definitely keep your lil guy in my thoughts.  Good luck!

Well i just want to start by saying its good they caught it when they did. And its good that he is hanging in there. My friend had her baby at 29 weeks and he is doing fine now about to come home from the hospital. A good NICU makes all the diffrence i hope he thrives and gets bigger and gets to come home sooner than later. GOod luck be strong!!!

Oh that sounds so scary. Thank God you two are okay. What are the effects now for you or your baby? Has preclampsia done anything to effect you? I am doing a study with the hospital on preclampsia, they're trying to figure what they can do for pregnant women if they have it so that they can have a full term baby. So far vitamin A and C is what they are feeding me full of ;)

Good luck to you and you're son, my little cousin was born at 21 weeks (he's 6 now) and my other cousin was born at 20 weeks (he's a year) just thought that might make you feel better   Good luck xx

Thank you guys for your thoughts and prayers! As far as the preclampsia goes, my blood pressure is still really high, they say it wont go down for a while, I get to take a TON of meds everyday just to keep it somewhat under control but even with meds its still high. I hope I dont have to take them for too much longer, I can't even give him my breastmilk because the meds I'm on is dangerous for babies   maybe with my next baby I'll be able to have a normal experience!

Yes Congrats on the delivery...i believe he will pull through...technology now-a-days has advanced so much that a 21 week old baby was delivered and survived w/o any complications so that should give you some hope!! i'll keep you in my prayers and i am glad that he is ok!! I hope you will be ok as well!!!
