My pre-eclampsia story 7
So the week started with good news for us, and we heaved a sign of result at the scan result. The doctors now changed their mouth about lagoon, and were now saying let's give the baby 6 more weeks to cook more. Hmmmm me I just agreed and went home that night and slept very well. Now a week before the scan that scared us, when our baby was growning well, wifey also noticed that baby was kicking as frequently as how he used to. This started when wifey was given anti-malaria drug fansidar. She reacted badly to the drug, where her mum also confirmed that she always reacted badly to it. So after that time baby movement was slow, but since we had an updated scan that showed our baby was growing there was no cause for alarm. So we now started a new week, while wifey was eating as much as she could eat ( she really didn't have much appetite, which is funny for a pregnant woman) so as she ate as much as she could, we both prayed for God to look after our baby and for the baby to grow at least up to 1kg. So the time to do our 30week scan had arrived, this was on thursday april 5th 2012, holy thursday. So it got to our turn like 6:30pm we went it, with our hopes up on how well our baby would have grown, we were hoping for another miracle growth. So we got into the lap and the process was started, wifey had told me to look at the screen, which I didn't. I saw on the screen stuff on that didn't make sense, it showed something like 22weeks + 5days, but I paid no notice to that, how can a baby reduce growth. My wife was asking the lab guy how the baby was doing At that point the lab guy mumbled something like at this point her health was what was most important. And as quickly as the scan started it ended. I asked the guy what was up, he said I should wait for an hour to get the result, which I would give to my doctor. Wifey was a bit uneasy I told her to relax that it would be okay, in my heart all was not well. So finally I got hold of the result and before I could say let's get it to the doctor wifey took it from me and tore it open. We saw 2 items there. One of them I understood, that wifey had too much water retention, the other one I didn't understand. I explained to wifey and got her back to the ward. I immediately called the doctor handling our case and told him the one I didn't understand and he paused for a while on the phone and when he spoke he told me that wasn't a good report ohh, but that he was coming to wifeys ward to see me. When he came, he just made it clear to me what was up and it was up to me to tell wifey. So with a broken heart, I went in and told wifey our dear unborn child had given up the fight. Our unborn baby had died.

This story of our loss, is to make people aware of this pre-eclampsia issue that can happen to pregnant women. My writing about it is my way of grieving for my lost seed. I will come back and write about what steps to take to help if you ever find yourself in this position. What to look out for and how to hold on to hope when this time comes. I will be back. Don't feel bad for us, we have dealt with our loss the best way possible. Thank you for reading.

O M G !!!

Oh dear! Seriously, after all that, after all you have been through. . . I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't help thinking things may have been different in a different hospital or abroad . . . Oh, I don't know. For this, God will give you double IJN. Amen

@afdam I am truely sorry for your loss. I know this story all to well. What happened is the blood flow became reversed as i stated in a previous post. So the baby is not receiving any nutrients from the mother, because of the malfunctioning placenta which is suppose to be the baby's food source. Without any nutrients the babies starve and die in utero. Also the baby small for the gestational age is very common in preeclamsia its called IUGR (inter uterine growth restriction) meaning the baby is not receiving allt he nutirents and cannot grow like its suppose to. I know many women that delivered @ 25 weeks because of sever pre eclamsia like your wife. The babies weight about 700 grams. The babies grew outside the womb, in the incubator because it was no longer safe to grow in the mommy's tummy. I hope this does not happen in the next pregnancy and by g-d grace it will not be your families portion.

@Afam
I am soooo sorry for your loss.God will give you back and bless you two..

Wow, really touched. All I can say is 'how is wifey' , God will replenish your loss

Awwwwwwww! Been hoping and hoping that the story would end well! Accept my sympathy...so so so sorry!
Its well! This is the worst thing that will ever happen to your family...from now on, it will be blessings upon blessings IJN! Amen!

I had post partum preeclampsia with my first. It is not a joke. If you even suspect something they voice it. Don't wait until it is too late. I knew something was wrong but it was my first pregnancy and the midwives were totally useless. If I knew then what I know now I would not only have switched doctors but totally switched to a new practice.Thank God my son came a week early. I was in the ICU fighting for my life for almost a week. People think pregnancy is not a big deal because people do it everyday. if only you know what pregnancy actually does to the body. It is a beautiful thing but it is an assualt on the body. No question is too stupid. If you feel strange speak up. @ Poster I'm sorry for your loss but I also appreciate you puting the word out there.

i am so sorry for your loss, God will bless you with another child and see you through this pain.

I had pre and post eclampsia and high blood sugar - this condition is not a joke and me and my daughter almost died so I know what u guys have been thru, I will put u and ur wife in my prayers as this story really touched me.

@ Afdman..
So sorry for your loss. Affliction shall not arise the second time. You are a definition of a real man. Know its very hard for your wife after all she's been through. Pls comfort her, send our love to her and remind her that all will be well

@afdman,so sorry for ur loss. Be strong for wifey. Hopefully,the next pregnancy would be easier.
I had pregnancy induced hypertension in the last few weeks of my pregnancy. Had to be induced. Thank God there were no complications.
Pre-ecclampsia is scary. Things can happen at a fast pace and leave you dazed. A woman who was admitted in our hospital for just vomitting at 33wks,with no history of hypertension,started complaining of severe headache the ff morning. BP was checked and it was about 190/110. Despite the anticonvulsant adminstered b4 moving her to labour ward,she convulsed on getting to labour ward and died instantly. I just couldn't believe the woman I just chatted with in less than an hour was dead.

Wow! Am very sorry for your loss, and all you went through. I must also thank you for sharing, cos (it happened to my sister) when it happened to my sis, we (I) never knew this was the case. Now I know better! But my sis suffered!! And had to spend about three months at a teaching hospital, after private hospital(s) failed (not exaggerating o). But my mother was/is really strong in prayer(s), even her church were holding series of prayer meetings on her behalf. The baby was later born through CS and put in the incubator (for close to like 8wks(?) I can't really say). By God's grace, they both survived, and the boy is now 2years old. But now, my sister's somehow afraid of getting pregnant again; and that was even her second child! May God console you, @afamdman.

For your loss, am wishing you double!

@poster you ar a very nice man 4 staying wit ur wife all dis days of sorrow, because is nt every man dat wil do dat. May God bless u. Hw is ur wife now, God in his infinity mercy wil bles u an reward u wit many children IJN say Amen.

OMG,still have goose pimples

I'm so sorry for your loss,God will give you double,please stay strong,wish you all the best.


For reals,pregnancy scares the life outta me,most times i just think is there no other way to have a baby?

My wife was also diagnosed of pre-enclampsia, her BP often shoot up 170 or 180/90 s we went for test and discovered that she had protein in her urine, which suggest partial kidney failure.

We told our Daddy in the Lord who prayed for her and we joined our faith too, she went back for Test at UCH, and protein trace dissappeared instantly. However, we observed that if she does too much home chores the BP rises, so we had to make her rest properly, and her Bp always mornitored at home.

At the end of the day she gave birth to a baby boy without any incident, in fact she was discharged from the hospital the same day.

Glory be too God.
