| Leanne's Story Hello, my name is Leanne, I am 21 and I now have a 17.5 month old daughter. It was 5 years ago this month that my lil boy would have been born. I was 16 when I got pregnant and I was on birth control, I was on the depo shot. It was time for me to go and get my next shot ,they do a pregnancy test every time and there it was plain as day, I was pregnant. I was only 16 and I decided it was best for me and the baby that I have an abortion. I am so sorry that I did It now. Because a year after that I got pregnant again on the depo shot. And I lost my baby at 6 months because of his father beating me. And I went to the hospital for them to start dilating me and to have him born dead. I started to have a lot of problems, I turned bulimic. And started to have really bad pains in my stomach. My ovaries started to shut down on me, due to scars from the abortion. I was told I would never be able to have a baby again. And I thought that I wouldn't be able to have them until I met Chad. I got pregnant with our daughter and almost lost her because my uterus was unstable and I had a lot of scar tissue. I developed a blood clot in my uterus while pregnant with her. I almost lost her too. I had undergone treatment for preterm labor. But in the end, I now have a beautiful 17.5 month old. This has been a hard month for me. I am grieving over the loss of her 2 big brothers. We have been trying to conceive for 11.5 months with no luck. My ovaries are completely shut down. For the last couple of days all I can do is cry. I miss my lil boys. This was the hardest thing I ever had been through in my life. The doctors don't really prepare you mentally for what you are going to go through. They don't tell you that you are gonna grieve for the rest of your life. I wouldn't do it again, It almost cost me and my daughter our lives! Leanne |
