Pregnancy Problems 

11/9/2015

0 Comments

 
     My pregnancy journey began on April 7, 2009, when I found out I was pregnant.  I had gone to the doctor's that day because my period was quite absent and after an inconclusive pregnancy test, I wanted to know what was going on.  I remember the physician's assistant asking me what my problem was and I said, "I think I have a UTI."  She said that I did.  I said "I also think I could be pregnant."  She confirmed that I was.  I was excited.  It was so hard that night to not blurt it out to my parents when I was wishing them Happy Anniversary.
      Much of my pregnancy was normal. I felt sick and needed to eat every few hours. I was so tired I would take naps. 
      My pregnancy became complicated and high-risk in September when I ended up in the ER with a severe UTI and was found to be in preterm labor. After that, my pregnancy was full of tests and a surgical intervention to place stents because they believed there was a kidney stone trapped. Then, I spent time in and out of the OB with wacky liver enzymes and all sorts of issues. I was referred to Magee Women’s Hospital in Pittsburgh for a consult, as doctors believed I had cholestasis. I did not, but I still needed a C-section to deliver Sarah, as I developed preeclampsia.
Sarah came into the world screaming.
