My VERY Hard Pregnancies

I am a mother of two GREAT boys! I love them MORE than anything!!!!! But I will ALWAYS remind them what they put me through when I was pregnant with them!
With my oldest son, Zaniel, I was sick until I was 4-5 months pregnant. I don't know why they call it "morning sickness". I was sick ALL day. No matter what I ate or drank, I was throwing it up! I could of had a glass of water and I would of thrown it up! I ended up in the hospital one night because it was SO bad! Then during my 5th month I started getting braxton hicks contractions. I didn't even know that I was having contractions because I didn't know what they felt like! Then during my 7th month I had developed PUPPPS! That was the most horrible experience that I've ever been through!! PUPPPS is a rash that develops all over your body and it itches REALLY REALLY BAD!! Its like 10 times worse than having poison oak! I would cry everyday. It was to the point that I just wanted to take my baby out!!! And NO medicine would work for it! Now I have scars on my legs from scratching them! But good thing the scars are not bad! Zaniels due date was November 26, 2005. He was born December 1, 2005 at 12:06pm. I was in labor for 27 hours and then my doctor decided that I needed to do a c-section. When they told me I was about to have my baby boy I felt so much emotions; scared, excited, happy, loved, nervous, tired. It was so amazing seeing the little person who made me throw up everyday!
Taydrian is my youngest boy. When I was pregnant with him I was in and out of the hospital! When I was about 13 weeks pregnant I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I was bleeding. The whole time I thought I was going to lose my baby. We went to the hospital with me still bleeding. A ultrasound was done and my baby was fine!! The moment I seen his heart beat it felt like my heart just stopped! I can't even describe how I felt! I was just soo happy!! My doctor told me I had placenta previa. That is when the placenta is over the cervix. When I was like 3-4 months pregnant I started having contractions, real bad contractions. I was dignosed with UTI (uninary tract infection). The UTI is what made me have contractions. Since I was about 6 months pregnant I would end up in the hospital every 2 weeks! Once I was discharged from the hospital they would give me medication for the UTI that would last 2 weeks and everytime I finished my medication, I would end right back in the hospital! Sometimes my contractions would be bad enough for me to stay overnight and they had to put an IV in me. I HATE IVs!! I had a feeling I was going to have my second little boy before my due date! Taydrians due date was February 14, 2007. He was born January 25, 2007 at 9:18am. I was so glad I went straight to having a c-section. I didn't have to feel no contractions but all those months of having contractions and being in the hospital every 2 weeks made up for it. I was sad I had Taydrian about 3 weeks early but he was fine! Beautiful and healthy. I had my second little boy and was so excited! He is my amazing miracle that I thought I was going to lose.
And it was so crazy because when I was pregnant with Taydrian, it was like Zaniel knew if something was wrong. Zaniel would wake me up in the night and that was when I noticed I was bleeding or my water bag had broken. It was like he knew and was waking me up for it. And now they get along so well. Zaniel always looks after his baby brother! I love my boys so much! I been threw alot with the pregnancy of my boys but I am so thankful they are healthy and happy! I thank God everyday that he gave my husband and I beautiful, healthy, amazing little boys!
I still miss being pregnant. Just knowing theres a little person inside of me kicking and moving around is the most incredible thing I will ever experience. I can't wait to have my next baby!!
