I am writing to see if anyone has experienced a loss like me. This week my husband and i and our 2 kids (7 and 3) lost a 19 week old baby due to amniocentesis complications. 10 days after a normal appearing amnio test i started leaking amniotic fluid in tiny amounts. i was admitted for a week of observation to hospital, and was confirmed to be very slowly losing fluid. We were told i had to stay in hospital for the rest of the pregnancy (21 weeks), leave my 2 kids at home without me, and have a 50% chance of this little baby reaching 32 weeks gestation. We lost our little baby on Monday 15th March 2010, a baby who was normal, had nothing wrong with it, and just got ruined because of the amniocentesis needle. I am 37 and we did not want to risk a disabled child. The loss is indesrcibable and i am working on healing myself physically and emotiaonlly, as well as my poor 7 year old son who is gutted. Hoping one day soon to be able to give him a healthy baby sibling.
