Post- Miscarriage Info Needed

You have posted on another form that you have felt the baby move and you think that you have lost the baby you need to go to the hospital right now. And you will prob have to have a d&c depending on how far along you are

: I am soooooo sorry!!! I have had 2 miscarriages myself.
I will depend on how far along you are. You need to call your dr tonight!! He will probably send you to be monitored. If you are more than 18 weeks (i think that is right) you will have to go through labor and deliver the baby. please let us know!

I just lost my baby ..I was 3 months and they had to do a d&c surgery. They will put you to sleep and dilate you then clean your uterus out, its not bad at all the mourning is worse for me

My thoughts and prayers are with you!! This is a poem that a friend sent to me when I had my 1st miscarriage:

there's a corner up in heaven
where the little babies play
and our blessed mother watches
all throughout the live long day.
They're a happy lot, these babies
sure the reason's very plain
for they've missed the world's contagion
came unscathed, without its pain.
'tis an angel band they call them,
and you both should happy be,
you're parents of an angel,
'cause your baby's there you see.
Yes, and smiling down upon you
with innocence sublime;
waiting, and watching for the parents
it will meet again in time.
You should never be rebellious,
rather thank a loving god
for your little guardian angel,
as along life's way you plod.
With a faith that never falters,
clasping each other's hand.
Pledge yourselves to meet you baby,
in that better happy land.

I hope this helps. I know that I shed alot of tears with both of mine. Just remember that your baby is watching over you!
If you need someone to talk to, please feel free to talk with me.

Hi!


I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks in june too.
Now I am starting to take a natural progesteron creme to help against my short luteral phase.


I heard low progesterone is one of the most reasons for miscarriage. I have to start using the cream after ovulation.

Has anybody experience with that cream?

Good luck for all of you!

Sneakpeek. You don't have to have a d&c unless your dr recomends one. You can wait for nature to take its course, if indeed you have miscarried. Or you can go to the hospital and they can induce labor with pitocin to help you expell the baby. Depending on how many weeks you are. Under 24, I think they recomend letting nature take its course or d&c. 24 and over, you can have induced labor or a d&c.

I don't understand anyone who is miscarrying and not at the hospital. I remember atleast 6 diffrent times with six different miscarriages, my husband-- flashers going --heading to the hospital, as fast as he could. I did have d&c with all the ones that ended at the hospital, which were at least 4 of them. Kids these days, just relaxed about it and don't even try to go to hospital to get meds to stop it if possible. I had to yell at my son to take his girlfirend to the hospital, but it was already too late. Don't understand, I guess I put a lot of faith in the dr's, although it seems they have only done a couple of things right for me, all these years. They did try to save my babies, anyway they could.

Of course, by the time you are miscarrying the baby is possibly dead for 2 weeks already, I had one born alive at 4 1/2 month though.

Fatfamily. Because many times when you start to miscarry the baby has been dead for days, possibly even weeks. There isn't much the doctors can do, but monitor you, give you fluids, and check to see how much blood you've lost, or if you expell anything.

Now there are exceptions. If you are more than 23 weeks, you should go to the hospital. It may be possible to save your baby. If you miscarry at home, and soak more than one or two pads in an hour or so, you should go. If you are uneasy being at home, or feel somethings just not right, you should go.

I for one, an uncomfortable being in the hospital to miscarry. I just had my second miscarriage ( a 6-8 weeks pregnancy) a week ago. I prefer to be at home. My first miscarriage I went to the hospital as fast as I could. But they didn't do anything.

I have wrote my story over and over loged in when I start to write and then it logs me out--so I loose all ive wrote. This is getting me p***** off

anyway I was saying I have had 2 miscarriages before I went to drs 5 weeks and 6 weeks, I was 18 dint know any better.
Then I had a 8 weeks pregnancy I went to dr and find I had already expelled fetus in toilet at home and the rest was removed by dr--and d&c done. 2 weeks of labor pains heavey bleeding
next one is what they call partial mole. My baby died right after conception and this mass of grapes grows. It had grown into my uterus and the size of 6 months pregnancy and I surely would have bled to death had I not gone to hospital.
Next one I was at least 4 1/2 months had a full hard cramping period first month, I thought I was only 3 1/2 months. I heard the baby's heartbeat and felt him move. Took my over a weeks to miscarry on codeine and in bed. I was passing clots the size of the palms of my hands. Birthed a live fetus at the hospital and I dont even know how long he lived. They said they were sorry but they dint have the facilities to take care of him.
Next one I was 5 or 6 weeks miscarried after fight with my best friend over sleeping with my husband. Dint go to the hospital.

If I could go back I would have went in every time for they might could have done something. And you really need d&c to ensure there is no tissues left in there to prevent new baby or interfere with new baby.

My daughter in law, bless her heart. I always encourae her to go. She is right now pregnant in the uterus and on her ovary at the same time. They saw what they they thought to be in the tube preg,
they gave her mexotrethate(however you spell it) and now they say baby in uterus too, no wonder levels were so hi. But now they think both babies are deceased. I asked dr, before or after the shot. No one said in uterus too. But my son says they told him in uterus too!!!

So I suggest be careful too. They automatically abort babies if not in the uterus and who know maybe god put it there for a reason. I know in the tube is very dangerous but... Its all dangerous, but.... God is still on the throne, I dont think they should just be automatically expelled. I have read so much in the past few days looking for answers for her.

I heard of this one lady 12 weeks post partial--she was 12.5 weeks pregnant and they took baby out. Sad sad story, but it might have lived, heard of 3 woman in the last few days who birthed from abdomen healthy babys only cuz drs dint know until the birth that it was out of uterus.

Sorry to hear about your misscariage. Keep trying. God bless

I went to the doctor on wednesy, the 12th, I lost my baby again!!! My doctor told me that it is a chromosone problem, he said that whatever it is that is fertilizing my eggs is what is causing the problem. So now he has to do my d & c on saturday and send off the results to england for gentic testing and he has to run a series of tes on my fiance & I to see where the problem lies {sigh}. This is all so depressing becuz I was so sure that this pregnancy wud be fine, now I am faced with all this other stuff. Anyway, I think I am going back to bed now. Thanks for all your replies

:( you poor thing. I really feel for you. Ive only lost the 1 pregnacy at 5months but im sure its never easy no matter how far along you are. All we can do is keep hope and keep trying.

My doctor called me up on saturday morning and told me that he cudn't do my d & c that day anymore. Considerng that I haven't had a decent night's sleep since I found out that I had lost the baby on wednesday,i was all psyhed up to have this kid out of me on saturday and getting on with my life, becuz right now I feel as though I am such a stand still. That call that I wasn't getting the d & c done that day really threw me for a loop. I didn't sleep a wink on friday night either. I watched tv all night I was so glad when saturday morning arrived so that I cud get it over with and move one, becuz let me tell you, I am still weeing alot, my stomach is still pretty upset like morning sickness I think, I am still ever so hungry and my tummy is still stickingking out, breast still tender, so I was eager to get my body back to what it was before, becuz it isn't easy having all these symptoms and knowing that the end result isn't going to be the best.
Anyway, he said that he cudn't do it over the weekend becuz he wud have to store it in saline solution in order to send it overseas and fedex doesn't work on weekends, so if he kept it in the fridge that it wud start to deteriorate, so he wud have to do it on monday instead.
Then to add insult to serious injury I was also told that I am actually going to have to go into labour since I don't seem to be expelling the baby on my own. So he is going to give me oxytocin to induce labour to help the baby come out. I mean giving birth to a live baby is trouble alone, let alone giving birth to one that is dead and can't help itself.
I guess what is bothering me thru out all of this is the length of time this dead fetus has been inside of me and if it wudn't start to blood posion me or anything like that. I am wondering if that is what is making me still feel so sick all the time, and what I am mistaking for still morning sickness, becuz my body just does not feel right at all. I know that it takes a while for the pregnancy symptoms to go away, but I thot that they wud have been going away by now at least.
I was just wondering how long can a fetus stay inside of you dead like that before something serious starts to happen to your body. I found out that I had lost my baby on the 12th, but I don't know how long it was dead before that, and now almost a week later, on the 17th, I am having a procedure done to get rid of it from my body. That seems kinda long.
I am just really concerned that's all. Do you guys think that I have reason to be? I guess tomorrow is only a day away, and my doctor wud know best. I don't know anything anymore. I am just so confused and so disappointed right now :(

Oh my gosh that is so awful> when I went to the hospital at 5months for bleeding, they found out thru ultrasound that baby had died. I had to stay that very nite and I was induced also. I was so scared- it was my first pregnancy and I had never given birth before! After I had the baby (i named him joseph) I couldnt pass the placenta and ended up having a dnc anyway. It is a very hard thing to go thru and im so sorry you had to go thru all this waiting. I chose to see my baby, he was so small. :(
they said it would help with the grieving process. I was a little farther along than you I think so I dont know if you would want to see your baby because he/she probably wont be formed all the way and it could be disturbing to you. Either way I am so sad for you, hopefully this will all be over soon so you can move on.
For me it was so weird because of being induced I produced breast milk and it made me so sad not to have a baby to feed. And I was left with babyfat and stretch marks on my tummy. I still long for my baby especially when I look at my stretch marks.
Anyway, im not trying to make this all about me or anything, I just want you to know that I really feel like I can remember what it was like and my heart reaches out for you. God bless.

I was not trying to get pregnant, I did not even think I could get pregnant. I have endometreosis and know it will be a slim possibility. I missed by birthcontrol pills for one week because I forgot to bring then with me on vacation. I was late for my period but that is not too unusual for me. At about 2- 2 1/2 months I took an at home pregnancy test and it can back negative. I waited about one more week and took another one which also came back negative, but I still have not gotten my period. I called the doctor and asked for a blood preg. Test but they said they had to have a urine test of neg. On file before they would do a blood test. I went and took a urine test which also came back neg. This was at about 3 months. Aprox. A week later I started my period. I was happy/relieved because I thought all was ok. Now I am still on my period but now I have begun to expell lots of bits of tissue. I was concerned because I did not know what this was. I went on line and my symptons are consistant with a miscarriage. While I was waiting for my period I kept saying that I did not want to be pregnant and now I am afraid I got just what I kept saying I wanted. I am young and a pregnancy now would not be the best timing but I want nothing more than to be a mother. I thought for so long that I would not be able to get pregnant and now that I may have been, I feel this intense sense of loss. I have an apt. W/ my Dr. On the 28th but I want to know if I was pregnant, even if it was only for a month or so. The whole time I was waiting for my period I had this feeling I was pregnant. I do not know why all the preg. Test kept coming up neg.
