After three years of trying for a baby with no luck, my husband and I got pregnant three times over the next two years, each time resulting in miscarriage. I then got pregnant again, and spent 9 months having panic attacks in amongst the frequent vomiting. We found out antenatally our daughter would need surgery at 3wks old to remove a mass from her bowel. She was born not breathing and required oxygen and heart compressions. She was taken to the NICU and I didn't get to see her until the next morning. I wake up in a cold sweat thinking about the birth.
