The year 1995 I was 14years old.

Such a long time ago now, I was 4 months pregnant having pains and vomiting had ultrasound, found 4 what thought to be all sacs with no babies. I was the first in 5 years at maryborough qld hospital Thats how rare the condition was back then. I had a dnc had blood tests weekly for 6 months then fortnightly for 6 months then monthly till hcg levels went down. I went on to have 3 more miscarriages. My mum was with me the hole time I was young and scared. We thought I wouldn't be able to have babies my mum said that she would carry or help in anyway to give me a baby. Well she ended up having cancer passed away march 1999 I fell pregnant again the same time I believe she had a hand in that. I was 18 had a healthy baby boy. Ihnow have 4 gorgeous kids.. The oldest is 16 and my youngest is 7. Im 35 now.
