Pregnancy? Preterm Labor

August 31, 2008

My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 years. 3 years I had a few positive pregnancy test results and then weeks later negatives without signs of a baby ever being there. So in June I discovered that I was pregnant again. I saw the sac and then the baby, got bigger and bigger felt movements last week.8/28/08 Went to doctor visit for regular check up and found out I was dilating at only 15 weeks pregnant. Baby sac was hanging from my cervix. Found out it was too late for help. The next day 8/29/08 went to doctor for help to deliver baby. Delivered at 3:35pm. Baby boy weighing a little over a ounce. I feel soo sad all I do is cry why me? I heard where some people got help before but I was 80% effaced. No chance for him. Could it have been stopped in time? I want to get pregnant again soon. But I have problems conceiving. Should I wait? What can I do to get pregnant again. I know I have to get a cercleage at 13 weeks because my cervix was found to be short and incompetent. I want to share my story with everyone whose excepting to seeing me with my baby bump that is no more. But I can't talk about it with anyone other than my boyfriend. What do you recommend?

I am so so sorry for your loss. This is so very sad and I really hope that in time you'll be able to heal a little bit. (((((hugs to you))))))

Hun, take your time, what you just went through is very hard and I'm sure that your family and friends will understand that it will be difficult for you to talk about. If it's easier you may want to write an email or letter and send it to your family and friends explaining what happened and that you're not ready to discuss any of it right now and you're looking for their support and understanding during this difficult time. That way you are explaining what happened yet if you see them in person they'll know not to bring it up and upset you. We are all here to support you during this difficult time. Hang in there and I hope you feel better soon. God bless :)

Hang in there...

Yes, a Cerclage will help with your next pregnancy, along with asking your Perinatologist about Progesterone shots in the second trimester to try and prevent this from occuring again..

Since it takes you a little while to achieve a pregnancy, when you're ready, you can always visit an RE for testing and/or treatment

Thanks All. I'm still very new to all of this. You see I did not plan my pregnancy. It kinda just happened. But After all I went through and the love I felt I really want to go through with this a start a family. I don't anything about fertility and I can't afford to get meds for it. I don't think I would need it but Any tips on natural conception? I'm thinking of using OPK's now that I know what it is. But not sure how it works.

ashmcc when the time comes that you want to try again for a little one, look into a fertility clinic that bases every thing on your income. that will help with money situations. good luck!!!
