The search for answers: what is Chorio and why you killed both my babies?!

I️ received the preliminary cause of death for my baby girl and it was an infection called Chorioamnionitis (or Chorio for short). It’s same infection that killed my first baby. So, what is Chorio and how did I️ get it TWICE?

Chorioamnionitis also known as intra-amniotic infection (IAI)[1] is an inflammation of the fetal membranes (amnion and chorion) due to a bacterial infection. It typically results from bacteria ascending from the vagina into the uterus and is most often associated with prolonged labor. The risk of developing chorioamnionitis increases with each vaginal examination that is performed in the final month of pregnancy, including during labor. Is the most cause of preterm Labor.

 Although chorioamnionitis does not always cause symptoms, some women with the infection might have the following:
  • High temperature and fever.
  • *Rapid heartbeat (the fetus might also have a rapid heartbeat)
  • Sweating.
  • A uterus that is tender to the touch.
  • A discharge from the vagina that has an unusual smell.
  • Usually occurs between week 23-31 of the pregnancy 

When I️ went to the a emergency room 3 days before I delivered, I️ exhibited some of these signs and the baby had a rapid heartbeat. I️ am about to become an expert on this infection. Losing two babies so late in my pregnancy is proof that my body is breed ground for this infection after I pass 22 weeks. If I️ don’t find out why this happened, it may happen again. I cannot bury another baby.

I do not feel myself 100%. I haven’t even spoken to the God, let alone gone to church. That’s not like me. Nevertheless, it’s just frustrating to even watch people hold their babies at the store or see a teenage girl walking with a stroller, or see someone who just don’t care about having their own kids.  I feel like I am in a big comedy skit  and I am the punchline. I haven’t been feeling my best physically, emotionally, and mentally. I really do think that the cloud of depression has been following me. I understand now how a person of faith, like the pastor the other day who committed suicide... he stopped believing in Hope. Without hope, you really don’t think things will ever change FOR YOU! And yes, sometimes those overwhelmed feelings can be a sign of mental illness, sometimes it’s a demonic s...
