Thank you for sharing your words and for making it a slightly less lonely experience. Thank you all for sharing your stories. I had a miscarriage at 17w last month. I found out he was dead at the 4st month checkup. I delivered my son on February 6. I asked for complete investigations, but there is no apparent reason to explain why he died. I now try to focus on how happy I was when I was pregnant and on the love that I had and will always have for my baby.
I decided to donate to a charity every year on his birthday and on Christmas Day to honour his memory. I try to be the best mom to my 7-yea-old child. As a medical doctor, I am also concerned with the Coronavirus epidemic right now, something that should keep me mentally busy. It is so overwhelming. I fond confort in reading your stories and I would hug each of you if could. Thank you. Stay strong.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I had a second-trimester miscarriage in May It was our first baby. My water broke on Friday morning.
I called the nurse and she told me it was incontinence,connected me to my midwife who said it was highly unlikey it was my amniotic fluid, and that it was most likely incontinence, and we made an appointment for Tuesday.
But then on Sunday I noticed spotting and had some cramping. We went into the hospital for an ultrasound and were told there was no heartbeat. We decided to deliver, I was induced vaginally and the baby came out a few hours later. We were lucky enough to have our baby for 24 hours due to the cuddle cot in the hospital. So we held him, sang to him, and our family was also able to hold him.
This loss has been the hardest thing I have ever delt with. The pain is real and like nothing else. I would not wish this on anyone. I have my days though, when I just allow myself to cry. I also have had people around me pregnant and deliver healthy babies. It seems even more of a miracle to me now. But then I search for other women like me and I find articles such as this one and realize that I am not alone. Saying a prayer for you and all you ladies who commented here.
Thank you so much for sharing your stories and giving me some peace. Thank you everyone for sharing your stories above. I myself just had a pregnancy loss at 23 weeks 2 weeks ago. We delivered our baby girl who is now in heaven. My milk supply is diminishing and the pain is improving. I was looking for some advice, can anyone tell me how long it takes for your abdomen to flatten after a second trimester loss?
We got to hold him and take pictures, which I will treasure forever. Anyhow, it should be faster than a full term. I am now learning to love my body again, and I hope you will too! Reading all these stories just brought so much tears. I feel your pain mommies. I, too just lost my little girl a few days ago on 16 April at 21 weeks even though she stopped growing around 17 weeks. I could not understand it either. This is was my first pregnancy and my fiance and I were so so excited.
All my check ups went great. This is were I got the devastating news that my baby seemed very abnormal. I immediately had to do an Amniocentesis right there. The results came back few days later. There was no way she would make it. She stopped moving and I just felt so far connected from my little angel. I felt sad. I cried so much in the room. I told my fiance and we sat and cried in the car that day. I was admitted to hospital on 15 April and it all started.
Every few hours they came with those two tablets and I knew Everytime the pain was gonna get so much worse. I just laid there in pain and in tears.
It was finally happening. My water broke early morning of the 16th and the nurses told me that the process is starting, I will be delivering soon.
Due to the current Coronavirus, no one was allowed to visit and I just felt so alone. A few short hours later, I was ready to push. To push out my dead baby. Oh dear I wish this pain not upon my worst enemy. I was devastated. It happened quick. One push and she was out. Another and the placenta came out clean. There I lay, a mother who just gave birth, with nothing to hold. I just laid there empty handed, my hands covering my eyes and holding myself.
But I have her pictures. She looked so perfect and peaceful even though she had so many physical abnormalities, she looked perfect to me. I try and pick myself up everyday but I am still very emotional.
I know I will get through this, we all will. Some day somehow we will understand why this had to happen to us. I delivered my baby boy early this morning at 20 weeks.
Our hearts are broken. There were no symptoms anything was wrong until my water broke. He had apparently passed in his 17th week. We are home now, feeling lost. We are going to have him cremated and keep him in our hearts forever.
We called him Sweet Pea since we knew he was made, and that it what our baby boy will always be to us. I just delivered yesterday at 20 weeks after learning my baby boy no longer had a heartbeat.
You may also notice large clots of tissue passed with the blood. Contact your provider immediately if you have any of these symptoms. Although it may be too late to save your baby, your provider can take important steps to protect your health; for instance, you may be hospitalized to be sure that you don't hemorrhage. Following a late miscarriage, your provider will try to determine the cause of the miscarriage in order to prevent others in the future.
For instance, if your cervix dilated too early and provoked preterm labor , your provider may be able to use cerclage a technique that involves sewing the cervix shut to prevent late miscarriage during your next pregnancy. Other times your doctor will gain information from the placenta, the autopsy, or laboratory tests. Even though you are grieving, at some point after your loss it is important for you and your partner to review what has happened in order to determine what, if anything, can be done differently with the next pregnancy.
These are some of the causes of miscarriage after the 1st trimester:. In addition to the medical issues, this is an upsetting experience emotionally. Take as much time as you need to process.
