I am 27 years old. My first child.


I am super excited about my new arrival coming soon. I have hada smooth pregnancy, no sickness, no major weight gain, no moodiness, nothing! However on August 11th (28 weeks along)everything changed and dampened my spirits so to say. I woke early that morning bleeding heavily like I just got my period. I rushed to the hospital to find out that I have Placenta Previa. Therefore my doctor put me on bedrest until I am due! And was also advised that I would be delivering via c-section, Which I kinda wanted anyway   But now things have turned for the worst. I cannot work due to this and sad to say I am the only one in the house right now bringing in any income thanks to our lovely economy. Within the next week I will lose my internet access, telephone, lights, car and car insurance. My fiance is trying hard to get money but its just not out there. Therefore I have been stressed and depressed here lately wondering how I will survive on bedrest with nothing. And how will I be able to raise a baby with nothing. My work does not offer and kind of paid leave and I applied for cash assistance thru welfare but that takes at least 30 days. My family cannot help me either because they are in a worser boat than I am. We have no a/c in our house and we live in Florida so that makes the days long and miserable. Oh and we also can't pay the rent, so I pray the landlord will be understanding. Anyhow now that you have heard my sob story I'm hoping to meet other moms to be in the same boat or who have been there. I am out of resources and hope that God comes thru for me. I pray my baby will be ok and come out healthy and happy.

Yea.. I'm actually in the hospital now.. I had him last night at 3:33 The tried to stop my contractions but couldn't.. He was 6lbs 10ounces and 19 3/4 long.. Had some breathing problems at first but he's doing great for being a month early.. I'm going to try and get some pics posted in a few...
