Just when you think you're the only one out there where this unfair thing happens to you... and you find this forum and see there's (unfortunately) many more like yourself. I lost my little boy Jesse on April 25th this year... He was 21 weeks and 5 days... I woke up after my husband and son Billy went to the Anzac Day dawn service and after going to the toilet a whole lotta blood appeared... By the time I got to the hospital I was in labour, and 3 hours later little Jesse was stillborn. He was perfectly healthy inside, for some reason i haemorrhaged and passed away in the birth canal. I may have a had a slow leak in the 5 days leading up to the birth (I thought it was just incontinence like what I got in my last pregnancy plus I'd only had my 20 week scan the week before and everything looked perfect). If this was the case it usually doesn't bring on any bleeding but the waters breaking. I'm going in for blood tests in a couple of weeks but I don't think they're gonna discover anything (I PRAY that they do). Apparently I had that strep B strain thing. After I gave birth I got infected and apparently that was due to the strep b invading me everywhere in my (now empty) uterus. Can anyone tell me much about strep b?

We don't know what happened or why but there's gotta be something wrong with me. Especially when my first born come at 25 weeks and 6 days pretty much in the same circumstance (early one morning after going to the toilet I haemorrhaged). Thankfully he's an energetic 6 year old now. My daughter Ava, who's now 19 months, come at 37/38 weeks and poor Jesse was just too early. I'd love to have another baby but not sure we can go through this again (especially the kids) since my stats so far are 1 in 3 going full term, not real good odds.

Big hugs to all of you out there who've lost their beautiful angels... This forum has been really helpful to see how other mum's that have gone through this have had successful pregnancies afterwards.
