Infection in amniotic fluid

mamawolf71 · November 2012

I miscarried 2 weeks ago, I was 15 weeks. My water actually broke and about 2 hours later we delivered a tiny perfect baby boy. The placenta delivered about an hour later. We just saw our doctor yesterday and she said the placenta showed that I had an infection, chorioamnionitis. She said most likely this is what caused my water to break. Anyone have experience with this? If so have you later had a healthy pregnancy?

My first pregnancy I had an infection in my fluid. They told me when my water broke with Twin A, the fluid was green.

My son was fine, but sad story, due to being 23 weeks they forced him to come with the higher risk of infection.

I did carry my singleton Zachary to full term with no complications.

And I am currently almost 25 weeks pregnant with twins and so far so good.

I am sorry for your loss.

I don't have any advice, however I wanted to send you a hug and tell you I am so sorry for your loss.

We're still not sure if it was the cause of my loss but when my son was still born at 35w6d they did find Ecoli on my placenta. I did not have a fever or high white blood count or anything to suggest that my body was even aware of the infection so the whole situation is still a bit confusing.
