Late Term and Child Loss

Second time a Loss Mom

Hey everyone. I know it's been a while. I was pg most recently until this Saturday. Turns out I had an incompetent cervix, and I was already dilated by the time I got to L and D. I'm so heartbroken, we are missing our little girl Phoebe. I got as far as 19w3d. She was born alive and I got to hold her as much as I wanted. I didn't ever think I could lose another baby but here I am, broken hearted and angry and I just don't understand how this could've happened. I feel like my life is over now that I've lost twins and yet another angel. Why does God hate me?? I'm really starting to hate Him for allowing this to happen yet again. How am I supposed to carry on? We've had to do it once but now having to do this a second time, I don't know how much I can bear. I miss her so much, she had so much personality in the womb. Everytime I would see her on u/s she was doing something goofy, like in one she had her thumb up, another she was waving. 

We're just so devastated at having another loss, it makes me terrified for my marriage also, because I feel like it's all my fault for having a healthy baby and a shitty womb for her. The MFM told me that next time they will do a cerclage and 17p shots, I just don't know when that next time will be. I feel like, maybe this isn't for us if it's happened twice already, but there is a great part of me that refuses to quit because we want a family so badly. It's just not fair that this has happened, and my poor dh dragged along for the ride. We've been crying non-stop it seems. I wish I could go back in time and be more aggressive with my ob, tell them to give me a pelvic exam to make sure I was ok, etc. I don't understand b/c I didn't have IC last time, and they most recently did an u/s that said my cervix was at 4.9. So I'm definitely clueless as to why this has happened. I miss my baby girl.
On 10/23/13 Baby Sophie and Baby Gabriel born at 21+5 weeks. They grew wings and flew away from us. May God bless them always. We love you beans!

  • Thanks. I feel so alone right now with everything. The worst part is that school starts to day for me, and I just started a new position at work. I have a lot on my plate on top of this, and somehow I'm supposed to go on. I don't understand it. She looked so much like my dh that he couldn't stand it. It makes me terribly sad.

    I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. I just doesn't seem fair. The only thing I can offer is hugs and support. You have such a heavy burden to carry right now and I'm so sorry for that.

  • I'm so sorry for your losses. I can't imagine the pain of suffering another loss. You are not to blame. You would have done everything you could to keep her safe if you had known.

    Our Ben looked just like dh too. Since we have a dd, who looks just like me, he thought of Ben as his little buddy. I hope you find some peace today as you return to work. Be kind to yourself.

  • Oh my, I am so sorry for the loss of your Phoebe Jaslene. Such a beautiful name. Have they checked you for any type of uterine malformation? My Patricia was stillborn at 31 weeks and Anna came at 26 weeks and they called it IC, but I didn't have IC with Patricia so I was suspicious. After I pushed for more testing and ultrasounds, they determined I have an almost complete septate uterus which can cause stillbirth, preterm labor, and IC. 


      Our Angel Patricia born sleeping 3/30/12 at 31 weeks
    Our Fighter Anna born early 1/8/13 at 26 weeks
    Hoping to bring home #3 due 9/9/15
  • Thanks for being there, y'all. @jbraden12 I know that I don't have a septate ute because I was undergoing ivf when I got pregnant. I was literally dilated with no pain or contractions, no cramping, etc. So they really believe it is a true ic unfortunately. 

    I guess you all will be seeing me much more often on the forums. Much love and hugs to all.

  • Thank you so much everyone for the outpouring of support. I'll have to wait until Faith Friday to talk about my faith and where it's at. Some moments I feel calm, others hysterical. I hate that anyone has to go through this. Our poor little PJ will never know us, or how much we wanted her and love her. There are so many things to deal with and I am lacking in strength for all of them. I feel shattered. I don't know how I overcame the loss of the twins, I suppose time had something to with it, but you never really get over it. Then came Phoebe's loss and it just reopened a wound I thought had healed, and it really wasn't. I miss my babies so very much.

    I don't believe I'm even thinking straight, honestly.I haven't really eaten (I get that way when depressed), and I am dreading the oncoming of the 'milk'. I was even crazy enough that this morning I made a list of my financials so I could get the next FET cycle going for when we're ready. I'm just a mess.

    I am so so sorry for your loss of beautiful Phoebe.  Nothing about it is fair and I hope you know there is nothing you did to bring this about.  You aren't at fault and you aren't being punished-even though I know it can feel that way :(   I will be thinking of you and your precious babies.

    I don't personally believe in puffy white clouds version of Heaven, but I do believe that our energy and our unique spirits do exist before and after our time on Earth- that being said, I believe the Phoebe definitely DOES know how much you and your H love her and how much she was wanted and cherished.  And I also believe that her unique spark of life is united with the beautiful and unique sparks of Sophie and Gabriel.

  • I am so very sorry. I just want to echo the others that you are not being punished and you didn't do anything wrong. You aren't doing this to your husband, it's a terrible road that you have to travel together, but you didn't cause it. And I truly understand the anger you feel right now, but God doesn't hate you. He loves you so much and is weeping with you. It's ok to be angry right now and even to be angry with Him, but please don't for a second think He hates you. That couldn't be further from the truth. I am so so sorry.
