A difficult pregnancy

I got pregnant at the age of 34. It was a difficult pregnancy, bleeding everyday till the day my little girl was born.
Things went from bad to worse in my 16th week. I had mild painless contractions every few minutes and then one night my water bag leaked  and I thought I wet my bed! I was then rushed to my clinic and was kept there the entire night for observation. The next morning the doctor said the baby was low laying and I might have an early birth. He  prescribed some folic asid and asked to take more rests. Then over the next few days I developed a back ache that worsen by the day.  Soon the contractions were getting more painful  and with each contraction accompanied by bloody discharge. On my 20th week, again my water bag broke and this time I was rushed to a private hospital. I was warded in the maternity room until 24 hour observation. Guess what the doctor said, my baby was actually coming !! Well, actually after a thorough check up, it was dicovevered that my placenta was peeling and due to that it's pushing the baby out, sort of like it's aborting the baby. Continue tomorrow.......
