| Loss of Triplet |
|
I lost one of my triplets in 1999. I gave birth at 24 weeks gestation after my water broke. My first son was born April 26th, 1998 at 9:00pm and he needed to be resusitated following delivery. I held on to my other two sons for one more day, but then labour started and I went in for an emergency C-section (because of their positioning) on April 28th, 1998 at 2:30pm. They were ventilated immediately after birth and taken to NICU. Our first son survived for 3 weeks but encountered every complication related to prematurity it seemed. He died peacefully in his fathers arms. Our other sons survived the crucial weeks ahead and we took them home 102 days later.
