On 24th April, Preethy noticed some bleeding and we rushed to the hospital. After the doctors examined her, they said that the IUD has burst the water bag and the same has caused infection to the baby and Preethy.
We were sad and confused as in what to do, they tried to control the infection but the WBC count kept on increasing, the doctors put Preethy on Antibiotics and Steroids for the baby's lungs to be strong....
Later the bleeding increased, by then there was only 3 cms water for the baby ( the normal is 10 cms ) we could see the baby getting restless as she knew that something wrong was happening but at the same time her heart beats & moments were normal.
At last the doctors said that if was not safe to keep the baby longer inside and the infection can cause harm to preethy as well.. They said that termination was the best option and if we liked to save the baby the expense will be very very high...
We were left with no option but to tell the doctors to do what they thought was the best, they induced labor 3 times during the night to terminate the baby but Preethy didn't get the labor pains at the same time she was bleeding. At that time we just held each other and cried. when I checked with my insurance company the next morning they agreed to bear 25% of the cost to save child if born alive.
We both decided that we will do everything to save the baby even if that might cost us anything...
I rushed to the doctors and asked them to try and save the baby please, they refused and said that the termination process has started and preethy started to get contractions already.. I pleaded of the doctors to do a Cesarean and try and save the baby.. They said that Preethy is only 25 weeks, and even if the baby is born alive, the chances for it to survive isn't very high. I said please give it a try..
The doctors said, ok it now become a very delicate case, and they rushed with Preethy to the operation theater..
