Are you saying that it's dangerous to your life to have this child? Is that what you're saying?

Dear Hildy:

It could be. I hemmoraghed with my daughter (30% abruption) at 31-32 weeks and my blood pressure and heart rate dropped sharply on the delivery table. I have very low blood pressure to begin with, so this caused all sorts of frantic activity to get my daughter out in time. I passed out after she was removed and did not awaken until the following morning. All in all, it took me several months to recover.

I also had a small battle with uterine cancer after she was born. Thankfully, they were able to get it. I'm praying it doesn't come back while I'm carrying this one. Since abortion is not an option for me, I'm praying very hard, indeed.

During my miscarriage last year, I was hospitalized twice for excessive bleeding. After the first week, when my body let my baby go, I stopped for two days. Then came another four weeks of bleeding, with the flow increasing. I was filling diapers every hour on the last day and passed out on the bathroom floor in a pool of blood. My son found me and brought me the phone; neighbors rushed me to the hospital. They thought I had experienced another abruption. It turns out that my body was still trying to provide a safe lining for my child, who was lost to us a month earlier.

This is my 5th pregnancy. I'm praying that this one, like those of my son and daughter, is successful.
