Ashley B’s Story : Part 3

The next morning was surgery day. I was awake for it, kind of like how they would perform a c-section. The nurse were talking to me while the doctors were performing. There was a camera inserted around my uterus and the nurse told me she could see the babies’ hands moving around and how active they were. They were finished and the doctor said the babies look good and both still breathing. I stayed in the hospital for a week. I asked if the surgery worked and they told me that we wouldn’t know until they were born. It killed me I didn’t know what would be happening.

After two weeks I went back to work and a couple of weeks when I was 25 weeks my water broke but I wasn’t it labor it just popped on its own. None of the local hospitals were prepared for premature babies or my condition, so they shipped me an hour away from my home. What I didn’t know was that I had more than one water sac the second one broke and started a whole rain of blood and it wouldn’t stop. Everyone was in my room after that because if it didn’t stop they would have to take the babies out. They put all these IV’s in me to stop the onset of any labor. Thankfully I didn’t go into labor at 25 weeks. The doctors told me my case was a weird one, since the surgery I had is still so new and there aren’t a lot of studies on it they didn’t know what may happen. They think that the surgery weakened something in there to cause my waters to break. It wasn’t a matter of if I would be going into labor it was when.
