MY SHORT JOURNEY WITH MY DAUGHTER "NEVAEH ROSE HICKLING MORGAN"
It all started on the 4th of January 2016 after a visit with the doctors only to discover that I was 5weeks 4days pregnant and due on the 1st of September with my first baby, I was feeling so happy and excited I couldn't wait to tell my friends and family, which filled everybody with happiness and excitement too. So as in any normal pregnancy all the appropriate procedures started blood test, ultrasounds and checkups began, at this stage all was fine. My first ultrasound that I had on the 4th of January confirmed my pregnancy, my second ultrasound which was on the 18th of February when I was 12weeks pregnant was to confirm my babies growth and progress and was informed that my baby was doing just fine for this stage of my pregnancy things like 2 arms, 2 legs, 10 fingers, 10 toes and most importantly a heartbeat.
Then came my 19week ultrasound which was on the 11th of April which not only can tell me my babies progress it can also tell me the sex of my baby which i couldn't wait to attend. So on this day myself, friends and family attended the hospital to have the ultrasound, to my excitement I found out I was having a baby girl the tears and excitement filled the room with happiness and I couldn't wait to go on my first shopping spree looking for baby clothes. Then to my disbelief the sonographer looked at me and the ultrasound screen and said sorry Tori I need to go get the doctor to get another opinion that she discovered with my babies heart to which this took place. While this was happening I was asked to get dressed and wait in the waiting room which automatically lowered my spirits and I became scared to what I was about to hear and learn about my baby daughter. When the doctors returned they asked me to join them back in the room to discuss what they have found wrong with my baby girls heart.
They drew me a diagram of a normal heart and a heart with a defect which is called "Hypo plastic Right Heart Syndrome" and explained to me how rare this condition was and also had to brake the news to me that there was no cure or operation that could correct this defect. HRHS is a defect of the right ventrical in the heart which does not form, this ventrical feeds oxygenated blood to the lungs and to the rest of our organs and this is what they found my little girl didn't have. So with this I was referred to the cardiology unit at Westmead children's hospital to be examined by a heart surgeon by the name of Doctor Shearwood. While waiting for this appointment myself and my mother started to do research and find out more about this HRHS that's when reality hit me that if this defect is confirmed by the doctor at my next appointment there was a large risk of me losing my little baby girl.
I attended Westmead hospital on the 13th of April at 10:00am to meet with doctor Shearwood and to my horror and disbelief my worst nightmare became reality I learnt that I was going to lose my daughter either during my pregnancy or straight after her birth, this automatically turned my world upside down. It was hard for me to contemplate that's why I blocked myself from everyone as this was all too painful for me to explain.
So sadfully and painfully I would like to announce on Tuesday the 10th of May at a antenatal check up at RPAH my midwife could not find my baby girls heartbeat, I was taken straight down to the ultrasound room only to be told that my baby daughter had suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away. I gave birth to my daughter on Friday the 13th of May at 7:24pm at RPAH, she weighed 195gms and was 22cm in length I was 23weeks pregnant I had a natural birth and I am deeply saddened for my loss. I named my daughter " Nevaeh Rose Hickling Morgan" I am yet to make funeral arrangements which I will post when they have been made.
I would like to thank those that stood by me, stayed with me and held me through all this. I also would like to thank everybody whose been patient with me to what's been happening with my pregnancy.
