First time blogging!! Skylar's Story

I thought I would start out and tell our story. Santosh and I were married September 3, 2009 in Midland,MI. I then moved to Texas to be with him in November of 2009. After being married for 9 months we decided to try and start a family. I have PSOS (Polycystic  Ovary Syndrome) which I was told I would have to have medication to help me conceive. We went to see our OBGYN Rebecca Guinn and she suggested that we start to track my ovulation with a test every month. It showed that I was ovulating. We were then given the go ahead to start trying. After the first month of trying we found out I was pregnant. We were SO EXCITED. I could not believe it. After just one month of trying I was pregnant. I called my Mom and she also could not believe it. Everyone was so happy for us. We went to the doctor and found out that I was due March 26, 2011. Everything had been going fine and then one weekend I didn't feel well. I had some pain in my lower stomach and a little light spotting. I called my Aunt, who is a nurse, and she said to just relax the rest of the weekend and drink lots of fluid. So that is what I did. I then woke up on Monday morning to some more bleeding. I was scared and called my Mom, she suggested that we go to the Emergency Room to see what was going on. We arrived and I would have never been able to prepare myself for the words that doctor spoke to us. After doing the ultrasound and seeing your blood work we are afraid that your baby did not make it. There is no heart beat. Those words haunted me for a long time. I keep hearing them over and over. My mom was on a plane from Michigan to our house that night. Santosh and I went home and I cried and cried. We were scheduled to go to the Dr. Guinns the next day so that she could confirm with an ultra sound. She scheduled a D & C because I felt like I didn't want to go through labor, I felt like I could not handle it. We went to the hospital to preregister and while registering at Labor and Delivery I started to feel pain, I later realized I was having contractions. We went home and on the way I started feeling lots of pressure. As soon as we got home I thought I had to use the bathroom and so I went a sat down and pushed two times and the baby was delivered. I was horrified. I thought this was what I didn't want to happen. The amount of blood blew my mind, I had never gone through anything like it before. We then drove to the hospital in the POURING rain, our car had started acting funny on the drive there, the windshield whippers had stopped working, and then air condition. As we got closer to the hospital which was a half hour away the car started to act is if it was going to die. As we rolled into the parking lot it died. It is only by God's grace that we made it there. This then began the pain. I was still contracting harder and harder. It was the worse pain I had ever felt in my life. I am so thankful for my Mom and husband for being there and helping me through!! We now live with the memory of Skylar.
