I thought I’d post this story to give some hope to those having trouble having a family of their own.
After my husband and I got married we tried to start a family straight away, and was pleasantly surprised to find out we were expecting within the first couple of months. To say we were excited was an understatement. I remember the doctor saying not to tell anyone about it as 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. I guess I just didn’t think that could happen to me, so I told everyone. I lost the pregnancy in the 8th week, and was devastated.
I thought the 2nd time round would be different, but t wasn’t to be and we lost that pregnancy too. After the 3rd miscarriage I was still being told I was just unlucky. I thought differently. So I started trying different vitamins and diets and even acupuncture. But we lost the 4th pregnancy in september 2009. This was the one that hit hardest. I travelled interstate & had various tests done, but I had given up all hope. 4 miscarriages wasn’t bad luck, it was a nightmare.
2 months later, after moving to a new town, starting in a new position at work, and buying a new house I started feeling sick and found out we were expecting for the 5th time. Those first 10 weeks were a real struggle. I cried before every appointment (which were once a week) & on my drive to these I would try to prepare myself to receive the inevitable bad news.
But with the right medication (prednisone) I had a healthy baby boy, followed 14 months later by naturally conceived twin girls.
I hope this can give some hope to other women in similar situations. It CAN happen, it just sometimes takes the right doctor, the right medication or just the right timing.
