I need to stay off Dr. Google.

in Late Term and Child Loss

I had my postpartum appointment this past week and was told by my OB that there was a slim chance I'd have another abruption [especially since mine was more than likely caused by trauma from my fall and not some mystery reason]. He also said I would see a specialist, be considered high risk and have extra monitoring during my next pregnancy, which made me feel better.

H and I have talked about trying again at the end of this year, so I started doing research online on what to do next time to help alleviate the risk. Of course, now I'm paranoid that this will happen to me again and should've just stayed away. And I'm not sure if I'm emotionally ready to start trying and feel like I'm crazy for thinking about all this five weeks after losing Devon. Am I crazy for thinking of all this already?

    It's nice to know I'm not the only one. Yesterday made five weeks since the loss, and it really got me thinking about TTC again and what the chances are of this happening again. What you said about your OB is how I feel, too; he said there's a slim chance of this happening again and I can try again when I'm ready. That he'll do whatever he can to ensure a positive outcome, even though he can't make promises. I'm clinging to that, too.

    Thanks for the reassurance. :)

    I'm still doing that too! I,too, was told that I have a small chance of another stillbirth but mine was an asymptomatic infection and losing all my fluid (don't know what happened first) and I am very prone to uti's and during pg and at my pp I had bacterial vaginosis. I totally know how you're feeling, scared that it'll happen again, powerless. (((Hugs))) You are not alone!

    You're definitely not crazy for thinking about TTC again... I think it's natural we were expecting to be holding our babies soon and now that we cant our arms and hearts just need something to cling to... honestly DH and I are considering the end of the year also for TTC again

    I also had an abruption, doctors dont know why.  My OB said I was not at a higher risk of it happening again because none of the risk factors applied to me, but I dont understand why he would say that when he really doesnt know what caused it!

    I've planned a consultation with another doctor so maybe I'll have some new info soon.  Best of luck.
