Hi, my name is Mia, and I'm new to these boards. I have a 5 year old son named Anthony Corbin, who was born five days before his due date on 3/13/00.
I am also a mom to my angel baby Elaina Marie, who was born still at 33 weeks on 2/9/05. I went into premature labor one night, and by the time I was hooked up to monitors at the hospital, Elaina's heartbeat was in the 30s. I was immediately put under general anesthesia to undergo an emergency C-section but it was too late to save her. Everything went so quickly - I looked at the clock on the wall when I got into triage and it was 1:40 AM, and she was born at 1:51 AM. She probably passed away en route to the OR. We did not have an autopsy done, but there were several knots in her umbilical cord and it was wrapped twice around her neck. She was beautiful and perfect and looked just like her big brother.
I just found out on Thursday that I am pregnant again. My tentative due date is 6/1/06. I am excited but very nervous about this pregnancy and I know the anxiety will not go away until my baby is in my arms. I miss Elaina so much and I think of her all the time. Part of me thinks that she will be watching over her little brother or sister until they make it safely into the world.

I cant imagine how hard this will be for you. I believe that Elaina will watch over you and the baby til s/he arrives safely!
