I guess I have to share my story: my ex husband was A+ and I was B-. In case you didn& #39;t know, mixed blood types like that can cause issues. Mostly rh-blood types carrying +blood types like I was.
My body was attacking the fetus.
My body was attacking the fetus.
I didn& #39;t want to get an abortion, I& #39;d have loved to have had a baby with him at that time, but my body wasn& #39;t keeping the baby, my body wasn& #39;t accepting that I wanted a baby. My body wasnt accepting of something of another blood type (rh- women have a hard time carrying)
Do you know what it& #39;s like to want a baby but your body rejects it? Your body won& #39;t accept fluids or nutrients? You go in for an ultrasound and they say that there might be complications, that you can keep taking those prenatal vitamins but it won& #39;t matter?
Do you know how fucking awful it is to not eat anything for weeks at a time? Not just morning sickness, but not being able to keep anything down even with medicine prescribed to not vomit? Even with hospital visits, there wasn& #39;t a way to keep any nutrients down?
To be crying with your husband in the hospital asking why it couldn& #39;t be healthy? Why my body couldn& #39;t accept something else in my body? Why I couldn& #39;t grow a fucking human in me like everyone else could?
To wonder why the fuck couldn& #39;t my body do this? Why couldn& #39;t i make myself not get sick? Why I couldn& #39;t stop myself from vomiting literally all the time? Zofran didn& #39;t do anything, 16/24mg didn& #39;t affect me (which is a lot) as much as I wanted a baby, my body would not cooperate.
I wanted a child with him, but going through what I did made me realize having a baby isn& #39;t just about wanting it or not, how having a child is more than physically being able to make or carry one.
