edited November -1 in Miscarriage/Loss
I lost my baby at 12 weeks back in Frbruary. I am just now making it back to the forum and thinking of trying again. I could barely get out of bed for weeks. I work with babies so that made it extra hard.

It's hard because I'm not sharing my journey with anyone irl. In fact I was just about to announce to a few people when my perfect son died.

I am going to try again. I was planning to move to donor embryos last year when I got pregnant. But I think I'll try at home again little longer. I hope that I can get a take-home miracle.

    I am so sorry. I lost several and it does not get any easier. My last miscarriage was in October. My son and his fiancé had a baby girl 8 days ago...as much as I love her it has opened up old wounds and it hurts to be around her. I hope your next attempt works for you and you have a baby in your arms soon.

    Thank you all for your very kind words. I feel much less along reasing this part of the forum, though that too is sad. Thank you.

    I'm sorry for your loss. No matter in what week you have a miscarriage, it hurts. Do you know a medical reason why this could have happened? I'm asking because I recently had my uterine septum removed, which my RE coincidentally discovered on ultrasound in March. I have had so many ultrasounds before (with other RE's) and it was never spotted. My new RE said this can be a factor when it comes to miscarriages (as can many other things).

    My son died due to a cord accident, which is extremely rare, and so shocking. I am of advanced maternal age, so I think part of me had prepared for loss due to that, maybe not. I dont know. But it felt even more devastating that my son was perfectly healthy.

    I'm so sorry. I wasn't even aware cord accidents can happen in the first trimester. I can only imagine how shocking and incredibly sad this must have been for you.

    I am sorry jessykah. I know how you are feeling. I hope that it gets easier for you over time, but I know it is so so hard right now.

    TRIGGER


















    At 12 5/7, I did not think it was possible. I'm a 'researcher' because knowing more helps my anxiety. I had never heard of this so early. I was in the hospital and got to see him. He was tightly tangled in the cord. He had perfect hands and feet. He wss beautifil. After all tge testing, that was all that was found. Its hard, but i am grateful for the chance to talk about him. His name is Matthew Kamana'o.

    I know what you mean about being a researcher. I'm the same way. I also research everything to help stay calm and in the know. I was also totally shocked when I had my ectopic pregnancy and emergency surgery a year ago. It was unexpected and traumatizing.

    Matthew Kamana'o is a beautiful name. It sounds Hawaiian.

    Oh thank you! you brought tears to my eyes. Kamana'o is Hawaiian and means wisdom, which is what I wanted for my son.
