after graduating high school i found out i was pregnant it was a total surprise. my pregnancy was fine, it was to good to be true no morning sickness or any of the other symptoms. about two weeks before my sixth month i started feeling some contractions and my mucus plug came out. i didn't think any thing of it well at that time i didn't know it was the mucus plug so i let it go. i didn't do anything and the contractions went away. two days after i turned six months pregnant i started bleeding i noticed that in the morning but it went away so i didn't go to the hospital and the rest of the day was fine. that night the bleeding came back, so then i went to the hospital. after they examined me they told me i was going in to labor and i was already 4cm dilated. i didn't know what was going on, there were so many emotions going on and so many worries and questions going threw my head. during delivery there were so many doctors and nurses in the room it was so overwhelming.the delivery was fast they took the baby right away i didn't even get to take a quick look at him but it was the most beautiful moment when i herd him cry. after that he was taken to the nicu were he spent almost three months fighting for his life. those three months were the worst for me especially the first three weeks when i couldent hold him or touch him all i could do was talk to him thrue the thick walls of the incubator. the first time i held his little body was so great i was so happy. holding his little 2lb body. but he has come a long way we came home on jan.29.09 he is now four months old and weighs 10lb. im so proud of little fighter .

I became pregnant in July of 2008. Things started off better than the last pregnancy I had, which ended in miscarriage due to blighted ovum. During the previous pregnancy it was discovered that I have a double horn uterus. With the new pregnancy at around 8 weeks I began having bleeding. The ultrasound showed the baby but a very low heartbeat. After that scare things went well until 13 weeks. I woke up one morning bleeding and went to the emergency room. Thought I was having a miscarriage, but showed baby was doing good. They didn't know why I was bleeding and cramping. It happened again the very next week. They just said it was threatened miscarriages. I continued bleeding up until 20 weeks. It stopped but the bad news didn't. Ultrasounds showed our baby could possibly have downs. After that was ruled out. A test came back that our baby had 1 in 7 chance of having neural tube defect. I worried for so long after thost results. I then began going to perinatologist constantly for ultrasounds checking to see if they see anything. And for some reason they always did. The next ultrasound ruled out ntd, but then pointed towards our baby having an abnormal stomach bubble, which may mean there are other underlying issues. I was fed up.. scared.. Things sort of calmed down for a few weeks till I went into labor at 34 weeks due to 25% placeta abruption. I was in labor for 3 days. It was the so overwhelming. I didn't feel I was ready yet. Our baby girl was born had a few issues breathing. She weighed 3lb and 12ounces. Praise God she is very healthy and happy. No DS or NTD afterall!!! After a few days in the NICU her weight dropped to 3.6. They had to feed her through a tube. Also had to keep her on oxygen until a few days ago. She now weighs 3.15 and everyday she gains an ounce more. We are looking forward to bringing her home. It is not fun just being able to visit her a few times a day. I miss her when I am not with her. Probably the most disappointing thing is seeing other people giving her what she needs such as changing diapers, feeding, burping, bathing, love.... When it supposed to be me. People say at least she will be ok... but they just don't get it.. only us moms and dads of premature infants understand. For those of you looking for hope... Our baby is doing very well and should be home within a week or so... she was born Feb.22, 2009 and has been in the NICU since. I give all praise and glory to God, becuase he is good. He gave us our miracle baby.

Often, even when an intervention is done, the person does not wish to go in an alcohol treatment. Frequently, some time will pass before the individual can notice the extent of his addiction. But even so, don’t think that an intervention has not been useful, it requires time to set in. Each individual will take their own time to discover that they need an alcohol rehab treatment. When the person struggling with and alcohol addiction calls you for help, you’ll perceive that the intervention worked.
