My placentas were tested and it was discovered that I contracted an infection "of some kind". How? What kind? No one could ever tell me. The research I did on chorionamniotis and funistis (I'm sure I'm not spelling that right anymore) indicated (something like) "it is never present in a second twin and not a first." One of the placentas did not test for these infections - only mild ones that can be found in almost any placenta particularly a preterm one. So at least I can be assured that it was my oldest son Jacob that was ill. Somehow. I can't say why and I never knew.<br /><br />That was one of the hardest things for me to accept - the not really knowing. I knew I'd gotten an infection but I could never know from what. Without knowing that, every doctor that I saw told me that there was no treatment for it. Taking massive antibiotics throughout a subsequent pregnancy would not help. They could not screen for an infection when they could not truly identify the pathogen. Etc and so forth. I was left with "this usually doesn't happen again."<br /><br />So far, it hasn't.Foreverloveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391985814920303681noreply@blogger.com
