Dear Rowie and Rosa I am so sorry to hear of your losses. It is terribly hard to cope with. We lost ours at 17 weeks due to Trisomy 21. Can I ask you what genetic testing you have done as I would love to have this testing but am not aware of how to go about it. i am also in Melbourne.

Rosa, I don't know how far along you were when you lost your baby, but as i said I was 17 weeks and delivered naturally - I bled and spotted for 6 weeks and everyone kept telling me to get it checked out but I didn't - I thought if it went on past 6 weeks I would but I bled for 2 weeks then spotted for another 2 then got what I thought was a period - 6 days of heavy, bright red bleeding that just stopped, I spotted for 2 more days and then it all went away. It has only been a few days since then so I don't know what will happen. Whenever I think it is over, things change. Not sure if that makes you feel any better but just thought i would let you know of my experience as they sound similar. I am also frightened of it happening again. At the moment I am taking homeopathics so I can't try for another 4 weeks or so. People said to just try again but I want to make sure I and my husband are as healthy as can be first. And if I can find out from Rowie about the genetic tests then I will be much wiser again.
Rowie, not sure if you know but there is a support group at the Royal Womens called SAFDA, which is support after fetal diagnosis of an abnormality. We were thinking we might go to a meeting, there is one on this month about the 20th November.
All the best of luck to you both
