hiya guys,
just thought we would let you know the end results.
You guys have been with me since the begining of my preg. so i thought that we could close this chapter together.
they ran every test they could think of,
viral, bacterial, chromosones, bloods, everything, all came back neg.
his autopsy didnt reveal anything either.
the only thing that they could find was that his blood sugars were high when he died.
whether that had anything to do with the steroids i recived a few days before or not, they just dont know.
my sugars shot up after the shots, but that was to be expected.. so it could be that his did too.. but as babies of diabetic mums tend to have a huge sugar drop post birth, its really hard to tell if this is normal or not.
all in all .. we know that he died quickly,
that he wasnt in any sort of distress..
that they have ruled out any abnormalities..
that it had nothing to do with Don or I.
that it wasnt anything viral or bacterial.
so at the end of the day we got the response that we were hoping for.
that things were ruled out, and that its not something that is likley to happen again.
we have decided to try again. but to leave it to about christmas time.
we talked today about getting preg again. the chances of this happening again. and basic care during preg.
the main thing is that my sugar is under super tight control before preg (which it was this time.. it stayed about an average of 5.5 the whole preg on my hba1c until 6th of feb where it jumped to 7.8)
i will take baby asprin just as a precaution.. be monitored like a hawk.. and be taken in early to be delived early..
again, thank you every one for all your wondeful support during this horrible time.
and yup.. you can all be there with me stressing and getting grey hairs when we try again!
all my love
