Hi its claire x In 2007 i came on this site as we started trying for a baby, i fell pregnant &2 days after i found out i miscarried x then 9 months later after trying what it seemed like forever! i fell pregnant. everything was going fantastic! i had awful sickness for about 9 weeks but that wasnt too bad as it was great to be pregnant at last. then as i was progressing i got to 24 weeks & this awful pain struck! right under my right breast in my liver it felt like sum1 had tied a belt around me and was pulling it tighter & tighter constanly getting worse. so went to see my GP who treated me for heartburn and indigestion... but nothing changed, started taking paracetamol constantly every 4hours - most of the time the pain would come back after 2hrs x So went back to GP - saw a different one this time, she said " have you seen any flashing lights" which i replied no. "have you got any headaches? i replied "dont know been taking paracetamol constantly so i wouldnt know". sent for a blood test. results showed possible gall stones so was sent for another blood test. had this then saw another GP2 get some stronger pain killers. now on paracetamol and cocodamol alternatly every four hours, still wishing i could take them sooner as the pain would come back so quickly & at times not even go! next day saw my midwife, thoughtout all this baby seemed abserloutly fine, heartbeat strong and seemed to be growing very well. Blood pressure seemed fine, the only thing wrong was the pain. 2nd test result showed a sign of a change in my liver & and was asked to have another blood test done. but sadly before i even got even close to that day, i had 3 seizures nearly died and lost my baby...............................

My BP was 190 over 170 - sky high - which caused the seizures, which then cut off the oxygen supply to my baby. Once the doctors had found the baby had died they got my health under control and induced me. continued..

I started this page in hopes that it will help many women who have to experience a miscarriage... here is my story...
I found out I was pregnant about a month after I got married... we were so excited because we wanted to have kids right away we just didn't expect it to happen that quickly.... Well everything went wonderfully... I went in for my check up and got see the baby and hear the heartbeat (such a wonderful experience) then about 4 days after my check up.. I had a weird feeling... just felt like everything wasn't okay... I didn't really know what was wrong I just knew something wasn't so I called the dr's office and got an appointment for the next day...
This was my first pregnancy so of course they told me I was probably just paranoid.. but they wanted to put my mind to ease... first they listened for a heart beat and nothing was heard,... they told me that I was only 10 weeks along that alot of times you don't hear it that early... so they sent me in for a sonogram... well after looking and looking they told me that the babies heart was no longer beating.... That was the most horrible feeling in the world.. I just sat there in shock for a minute or so ... then I broke down and started crying and I don't think I stopped crying for about 3 days!!! They scheduled me for a D&C 2 days later... I held it together til I went back... then I broke down again... the hospital staff were so nice and friendly.. but nothing helped... anyways... it's been 10 weeks since then and I have alot more good days then bad now... things are getting better and me and hubby are ttc... but no luck yet!!!
