Pregnancy after stillbirth

In November 2014 I delivered a baby boy, named Santana who was stillborn.  It was, to say the least, very difficult.  On a Tuesday we found out that he had a defect in his 4th chromosome and on Friday he passed away.  My husband and I did all the testing possible to see if it was something inherited by us or just a fluke.  It turned out to be just a fluke but because I have a history of a stillbirth, I am high risk and it could possibly happen again.  I am scared to death something bad is going to happen.  I haven't told my husband or anyone else in my family because I don't want to get their hopes up.  I did CVS testing yesterday and I am waiting until I get the results to tell my husband.  To make things harder, my closest friends were all pregnant at the same time I was and now all have healthy newborns.  There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about what my little boy would look like or what milestone he would be at right now.  I just needed to vent a little.

    I am so sorry for your loss, and a stillborn before viability was my biggest fear. I pray that your cvs testing comes back negative and that you have a healthy pregnancy.
