co workers sister lost the baby at 5 1/2 mths preg :o(

They had the funeral yesterday and co worker said her sister broke down as they put the casket in the ground.  They conceived with invitro after many tries so you can imagine how happy they were it took and then to lose the baby.  She went to the dr and had an ultrasound.  The nurse was looking over the ultrasound and told her it looked like her amniotic fluid was low and told her to drink more water.  I am not sure how much later it was but they found that the baby had died because she was leaking amniotic fluid and so there wasn't enough.  I told her it sounds like she could sue or something...drink water!  And the dr. didn't even say anything, did he/she even look at the ultrasound (oh and this was the high risk dr)?  Just a terrible terrible thing.  I just miscarried at 6 w but I cannot imagine at almost 6 months!

    it sounds like she ppromed (pre-premature ruptured of the membranes). i experienced a loss as well at 24 weeks and i can tell you i will never be the same person again. my heart goes out to her. if she needs support i have an incredible website that helped me know that i was not alone. let me know if you need this info.

    What a terrible story. My BFF lost her twins in May at 5 months along. She also conceived through IVF.

    I cannot imagine in million years what it has to be like to go to your childs funeral. It makes me sick to think about. My heart goes out to her.

    I'm so sorry for her loss.  My prayers are with them.  I had two 2nd trimester losses and it's so very difficult.

    Oh no!  That would be devastating!  I hate to hear stuff like that.  Just doesn't seem fair.

    my heart goes out to her and anyone who has experienced this.

    One of my best friend's and his wife conceived through IVF, got through the whole pregnancy, only to lose the baby the day before her due date - the baby's heart just stopped beating, for no reason whatsoever.  The funeral was one of the most heart-wrenching experiences of MY life - I have no idea how they made it through it without just collapsing  The image of my friend carrying his daughter's tiny casket will forever be burned on my brain.

    They are currently expecting again, but I know the pain will never go away.

    It sucks, because you wish you could say or do something to make it better, make the pain go away for them even for just one second.  But you can't, and you just hope they find a peace someday.
