I'm not sure how dramatic my BU is.... but I've been through the

down times.... I got diagnosed while on the table during an

emergency c-section.

Talk about a traumatic way to find out! For months I dealt with the

feeling of being defective.... knowing that this was more than

likely the cause of at least three of the four, if not all,

miscarriages...

But I do have a success story too... I had my son in 2000 and my

daughter in 2003..... I wasn't diagnosed until the birth of my

daughter.... so we went through some scary times with preterm labor

and so on with both with no reasons given... I'm 27 weeks along with

this one, and although I've had a few scares already, now that I

have a diagnoses, it's like having a bullet in your gun to borrow my

dh's phraseology..... I can toss out the words BU any time I go

into L & D for just the littlest bad feeling, and they have to take me

seriously... In fact, I recently switched OB's because I felt my

first OB wasn't taking me seriously... turns out I was right, and

she wasn't..... but that's a whole nother gripe session! *S*

Trying to be upbeat here! *S*

I guess I wanna give you hope that it can happen.... and the fact

that you know what you're dealing with ahead of time empowers you so

much more....

Anyway.. email me anytime.....
