What's Your Story? Tell us. / Re: new here and mulling sub pregnancy after 20 week loss

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. I know it is devastating! I had a miscarriage in October, 2005 and it sounds like what you were describing, though I had it earlier on (10 weeks). It was horrible. I am so sorry you had to go through that. My heart just goes out to you. The next year, I got pregnant and had a beautiful and healthy son (who is 2 now) with no complications, so rest assured, even if you have one m/c, it doesn't mean that you will necessarily have another, so I wish you the absolute best next time! I was interested in your story because I am now pregnant (26 weeks) and have had unexplained bright red bleeding (spotting once and gushes after I went to the bathroom) here in the 2nd trimester. I was in the ER once and L&D twice; they cannot figure out what caused the bleeding as I had no placenta previa and the baby is growing and looking good. However, I have been on modified bed rest ever since (for 3 months). It's scary that the placenta could be infected and they cannot detect it on ultrasound. I am praying like crazy that all will be well; our baby girl is due October 10. I am just incredibly sorry and mourn with you for your loss. I cannot imagine how hard that must've been. I am thankful that your hospital staff was so caring. If I were you, I would switch OB/GYNs! I have at times been exasperated because my Dr. is SO cautious and conservative but after reading your story, I will never feel that way again. Thank you for sharing and may God bless you and bring another sweet baby your way as soon as possible. SIncerely, Holly
