I was just wondering since I am 13 weeks prego.

Some of you may not like that I’m posting something besides a question on here. If you are one of those, you can simply hit the back button. But, this is something that everyone needs to hear!

Pregnant mothers – It is vital that you go to all of your check ups to ensure that both you and baby are progressing in a healthy matter.

My sister went to all of her appointments, just like she was supposed to. This didn’t change the fact that she would soon later deliver a premature child at only 25 weeks gestation.

Jordan, my nephew was born March 30,2009 weighing only 1Ib and 14oz and 13 inches long. Before his birth, His mother had been on bed rest for a VERY long time. They had to move somewhere where she wouldn’t have to climb steps when she had to leave – which she only did to go to the doctor’s. Before his birth, she was in labor for 25 days, but she couldn’t get anyone to believe her! Her pregnancy wasn’t without complications, and one day she ended up at the hospital. We thought he was coming! She was only 24 weeks at the time, and we drove 8 hours to the hospital. We stuck by her side, until we just had to get back home to return to our jobs after being away from our home for a week. The night we got back home, we got a call that it was time. So, our bags weren’t even unpacked and we got back in the car and drove 8 hours back to the hospital. She would give birth to him on our way. When we arrived, of course we went to check on her. It wasn’t until a little later that I would see him. NOTHING could have prepared me for what I was going to see. I became weak at the knees. The pictures we’d been sent following his birth made him look so much bigger then he actually was. You could see through his skin. He was SO tiny. I had never seen anything remotely close. My brother was born weighing 3.10 and my Mother had always hoped she wouldn’t see anything smaller, but she did. He had tubes in his mouth, nose, and was receieving a blood transfusion so there was a tube is his head. My sister wasn’t able to touch him for DAYS. She couldn’t hold him for WEEKS and it would be almost 2 MONTHS before she would be able to feed him. The sounds of the NICU became old hat to her. She knew what each little beep meant, and would constantly stare at those machines that told how her little one was doing. It would be 100 days of this before he would finally get to come home. When he was discharged, he was sent home on only an apnea monitor. We were and are truly blessed!

Jordan will be 2 in March. He is such a blessing! He is a walking, talking, laughing machine and he’s got my <3!

I’m telling this story because I want those of you out there that feel as though you are in labor pains and no one tells you you are: You may not find anyone that believes you, and you may really just have gas like the doctor says, but pray for your pregnancy and your little one the entire duration of your pregnancy.

Be aware of your own body and take the necessary steps to give him/her the best start in this world.
If you don’t mind my asking, what kinds of things do you suffer with? Hear and eye sight problems?
