Late Term and Child Loss

All in one day

During the A/S ultrasound the technician saw some anomlies with my cervix and consulted with our OB.  We were told to go immediately to his office (in the hosptial) as he wanted to discuss some things with us.  We were immediately sent to Fetal Assessment.  Then our OB told me that my cervix was open.  I was diagnosed with incompotent cervix. 

We discussed emergency cervical cerclage, but due to the degree I was dilated, the risk of infection was considered to be very high and the chance of a good outcome was considered to be quite low.  We decided to not have the surgery.

Two days later, I went into labour and delivered.  We lost our beautiful Isabelle last Thursday. She was 21 weeks gestation.  

We had just passed the halfway mark.  We were excited to see the baby and then we lose her. We thought we were safe.  We went from a low-risk pregnancy to losing her all in one day.

  • I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Isabelle. I understand what it feels like to go from a low-risk pregnancy to a sudden loss. My pregnancy was perfect until my daughter's heart stopped beating at 31 weeks. I am sorry to welcome you to our group, but I hope you can find some comfort here among these amazing mothers.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. We had just hit the 3rd Tri. Totally normal up to that point and was laughing and joking with the nurse and 5 minutes later we found out there was not heartbeat. It's hard when the whole world flips upside down. {{{hugs}}}

  • I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet Isabelle.  My A/S also didn't go as planned :( I went from having a perfectly healthy pregnancy, to finding out my baby would not live outside the womb....

    You'll find tons of love and support here.

  • Thank you everyone for your support.  It's hard to talk to people who haven't gone through this. Most of my closest friends are younger than me and have not even been pregnant yet.  So while they sympathize they really don't know. It's nice to know that I have a place to cry/grief/vent when needed.
