At 22 I found myself pregnant for the very first time. I was due May 18, 2011. The pregnancy it self was a rough one, between having an abscess groaning on my lower tail bone to nonstop morning sickness, I went into the hospital May 16,2011. After being in labour for more than 24 hrs I was finally able to meet my son. Within in seconds I was rushed to the surgery room. I was bleeding and they couldn't stop, which resulted in me having multiple seizures. The doctors made a quick executive decision to place me into a medically induced coma. I was in a coma for 3 days and on a respirator for 4. Needless to say I was unable to fully attend to my son without assistance of family members for the first week or so. I am still trying to make up that week to him. Before my son had turned a year old I was admitted on the inpatient mental health ward. I was diagnosed with postpartum depression. This depression has carried through to my second pregnancy and yes I am still struggling with this daily. I am receiving help however this is something that takes time. With the postpartum I have now learn to hate myself with how big I have allowed myself to come. I'm depressed so I eat and I eat because I am depressed. I am more than confident that with this procedure I will be able to be the confident healthy and playful mommy I once was.
