My loss

[kitten76]

dearmum,
So sorry for your loss
I had the same thing.My waters broke at 19 weeks and I knew that our baby would die.The hardest part was waiting for her to die in utero so I could then deliver.I couldnt even push properly as I couldnt feel her she was so small. The doctors did a post mortem to find out what had happened and they found no reason which was also hard to take.This happened 3 years ago and it still hurts and I expect it always will.
My silver lining is that I have since had another daughter and am pregnant again.Im scared but I have faith that all will be well with him/her.
I hope that you once again experience a healthy pregnancy, goodluck

Thanks LadiesYeh it cerntainly hit me hard because with all my other children i came late and i have never had any problems so it was all such a shock.I know if i ever get pregnant again im not going to run out and buy everything,i will wait until he/she is born and then go shopping.I guess next time around i will be scared if it happens again.
Ladies how long did you all bleed for after having bub?as for me its been 7 weeks and im still going its so frustrating because i cant move forward.


Thanks again.

Hi, am so very sorry for your loss. Sending you lots of strength and courage to get through this time.

Have you gone for a checkup/ultrasound to ensure the placenta came out intact? 7 weeks is a long time to be bleeding hun. I was bleeding for a very long time too after my loss and it was because I had retained placenta products. It required two curettes to clear it out. I also had an acute infection which the OB said would cause bleeding as well.

I think it would be a good idea to ask your OB and have a proper check up. Take care and I really hope your body gets back on track soon.

I am so sorry Dearmum.... Shaheed is a beautiful beautiful name - and it sounds like your family supported their Mama during Shaheed's birth.

I would consult your doctor about your bleeding - just to put your mind at ease.

I feel sure you will find much loving support here on Belly Belly as you journey through this time of grief and healing... :hug;

dearmum, my placenta came out intact and I bled for around the same length of time as when I delivered my other children.My breasts leaked too which I cried at because I had no baby to nurse.
Like the others have said, just check with your OB in regards to you bleeding.

At the moment you may not believe me when I tell you that it will get easier.You will never forget and there will be times when you just need to cry esp around due dates and the date your little one passed.My daughters due date was 25 Nov 05 so I know thats not going to be a good day for me.
I hope you find peace soon
