I am very sorry for your loss. I hope you don't mind me asking, did your water break early or preterm labor? I know that having a bacterial infection can cause preterm labor. It is usually an infection in the vagina that travels to the uterus. Did they test your little boy for infections?
I have had 2 late losses. I have never had a bacterial infection. I have had every test that my high risk doctors can do. Everything including infection were negative. They tested my babies and placentas for infections of just about every kind and there were none. It ended up being a suspected blood clotting disorder (even though all of the tests were negative). There was a massive clot in Shelby's placenta that restricted her blood supply. Both of my babies were behind in growth.
I hope that you get some answers to help you through your next pregnancy.
Hi Laney,Im sorry to hear about your loss its so hard losing a baby at that stage.
Yes my waters broke suddenly in the morning,my baby was still alive 2 days later but my doc said to bring on the labour as he would of died with no waters,no i didnt have the baby tested because i just wanted to respect his body ifywim.I know i will do things differently next time around and also check my urine every week.Thanks for your input.I wish you all the best.
Hi Tempus,Yes i know we do blame alot of things on ourselves,my heart is still aching because everyone that was pregnant the same time as me is now looking forward to the birth and i have nothing,my baby due date would of been on the 9th Feb im really not looking forward for that day.Thanks i will keep you all posted.Take care.
It might be helpful to also have a swab/culture done a few times for a vaginal infection. They do not always have symptoms. If you have had an infection they can come back in other pregnancies. They are sometimes triggered by hormones.
My friend just recently went into labour at 32 weeks due to a UTI. They were able to stop the labour & she is now 36 weeks. I think it may be more common than we thought?
