no one does...

my daughter doesn't deserve this. i know, no one does. but my daughter doesn't deserve this. she did everything she could to ensure that this pregnancy would be a good one. gestational diabetis? she stuck strickly to the diabetic diet. she checked her blood sugar religiously. painful finger pricks several times a day. she took snacks wherever she went just in case. after her first pregnancy resulted in a partial abruption (liam yrs old now) the doctors found she had a genetic abnormality - five leiden factor - affecting blood clotting. not to worry. after icing down the selected spot to make it numb, she stuck a needle into her stomach every day leaving bruises and blood blisters but making sure the heparin went into the uterus to protect the placenta. my god, she tried so hard to take care of her little girl. the first girl on her husband's side of the family in sixty years! she saw a high-risk doctor every month as well as her regular OB. she had ultrasounds regularly detecting nothing out of the ordinary. she called both doctors whenever she felt the slightest pain or discomfort only to be assured everything was fine. 2 days before the abruption, she saw the high-risk doctor and had an ultrasound that showed an active, healthy baby. 2 days later it was over. my daughter doesn't deserve this. i know, no one does. but my daughter doesn't deserve this.
