Hi just thought i would leave a comment on here i seen the stillbirth part and thought i would introduce myself

im 26 and my name is rachel i had a stillborn baby boy on 20th june 2007 ,most heartbreaking thing i ever had to go through i was 32 weeks pregnant and relised my baby wasnt moving ,went to hospital and to hear then dreadful words im so sorry but your baby has died,probably like many of you i got the answer inconclusive couldnt tell me why i had a stillborn ,didnt help as i wanted so many answers ,the hardest part was leaving the hospital without my precious boy ,i got to hold him dress him and take lots of photos ,then we had to bury my baby boy .......

they say time is a great healer but to be honest it doesnt get better you just learn to deal with your loss everyday is hard and very challenging and hopefully in time it will get that little bit easier...

i have recentley had a healthy baby boy named ioan but so many problems on him he was 9 weeks premature,but hes a bouncing 18lb baby now and doing well....

but more heartache was to strike july this yr i found out i was pregnant again i thought everything was ok ,but i went for a scan as i was spotting ,and news hit again my baby had died at 4 half weeks was supposed to have been 9 weeks ........

at moment i am currently 10wks 3days pregnant so far so good ,have had 2 scans already as they now keep a very close eye on me,

had hospital appointment this friday because they had recieved bloods back ,not good news in a way,they now tell me i had factor v leiden a blood clotting dissorder which now i got to inject myself everyday take tablets and also wear stockings for rest of pregnancy ,

i asked questions about this dissorder and i had my questions answered 2 yrs on i know now what my baby died of my blood dissorder ,i was heartbroken and it was the reason for my misscarrige also and my placenta abruption i had on my baby boy ioan who was premature ,so im hoping all this medication works .....

if anyone wants to chat about there loss im a good listener for some of you its probably still raw and maybe only just lost your babys ,,look forward to hearing from anyone love to all your little angels in heaven xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I know how hard this can be. I lost my baby at 22 weeks. Then went on to have a girl, and am pregnant with my 2nd daughter.

You just learn to live day to day with the grief, but it does ease. Its been 6 years now for me. But somedays it still feels as tho it was yday.

I have allsorts of problems with my bloods. Everything is either to high or to low. Im on iron, folic acid, and injections for b12. And seeing a haemaoligist cause my plaelets keep dropping. So know how u feel.

Here for u if u ever need a chat

And congrats on the new pregnancy xx

Hi

Thank you for sharing your experince.

I lost my daughter shortly after her birth in April. I became pregnant again in September but am having a missed MC at the mo. On the due date of my daughter's birth, I had an emergency scan as my MW said I was measuring too small (all previous serial growth scans were normal). Scan showed her growth had slowed since the scan at 38 weeks and placental fluid volume dropped below 5th centile. As infection was idebtified as the cause of her death, I had a niggling feeling that clots could have something to do with the growth and fluid issue.

Anyway, in Spet I requested clotting blood tests. They came back abnormal but my consulatnt said he didn't think there was a problem but wanted them repeated. Had them repeated but a little too late as the MC had already kicked in. I think clotting could have caused this. It is an understatement to say that I am devastated. I am taking a 4 month break from TTC to divert my attention on other things, have in depth private blood tests done, and just let my body and mind heal a little.

Don't worry too much about the clotting as aspirain and heparin or clexane are supposed to be very effective.

Wish you all the best.
