PB, when I had Banjo I had an amnio (which didn't work while I was still carrying him but because I birthed him in the sac the Ob took it afterwards) She also offered to send him away for a autopsy and took some tissue from the placenta. I declined the autopsy. We did get results from the amnio... every thing was normal.

I would wait a while and see if you can birth bub yourself. The reason I say this is because you sound like you need to. I know of many women who have waited and avoided sugery, none of them contracted an infection. Don't put anything into your vagina and keep an eye on your health (eg temp or signs of illness).

When we learned Banjo had died I told them there was no way I was having a D&C and I am so glad I got to hold my little boy.

There are some herbs that may help your body start contracting... I can't think of them (Inanna??).

I am so sorry this has happened again and that you are having to make these decisions again.

All my love and strength.
Tanya
