Intro and question

in Late Term and Child Loss
Hi everyone. I wanted to introduce myself. I delivered my daughter 10 days ago at 20w3d. Her name is Cora. Cora had a severe cystic hygroma, hydrops and Turner syndrome. My husband and I currently have a 16 month old at home as well.

I do have a question for you ladies that I wanted to get your opinion on. I bled for about a week nothing too serious. I completely stopped for about 2 days and then started again today. Pretty heavily. Not soaking a pad an hour but still pretty heavy. Normal? Cause for concern?

Thanks ladies. Feel free to ask any questions about my situation if you want to know more.

    Hi Junebug. I am so sorry you are here. I lost my son at 22 weeks and he had a cystic hygroma and hydrops as well. I agree with calling your doctor, but at 22 weeks my doctors told me to expect to bleed off and on for between 2 and 6 weeks. Cora is a beautiful name.

    I'm so sorry for your loss of Cara and that you are joining us here. Our son was still born at 31 weeks and I bleed for 5 weeks, and then had my first postpartum period at 6 weeks. I think what you are experiencing is pretty normal, but a quick call to the doctor is probably a good idea to confirm. ((Hugs)). Know that we are here whenever you need us.

    I'm so very sorry for your loss. My bleeding was like that too, it would go for days, then stop, then start again.

    I lost my son 18 days ago and after not bleeding for about 4 days, I've started bleeding again today, it's normal due to fluctuating hormones. If you are concerned call your doctor just to be safe. Cora will forever live in your heart and she's a precious little angel.

    So sorry for your loss.
    I lost my son at 22 weeks 4 days. It was the worst day of my life. I think if the bleeding is not heavy it's normal. I stopped for a couple days myself and then the blood returned bright red but my doc said it was fine.

    What a beautiful name! I just wanted to send hugs and I am so sorry for your loss. I have no words of wisdom to share as my situation is very different.
