we lost our little angel between 17 & 20 wks of pregnancy

[Wallace143]

I just wanted to post that I really worried when I got pregnant at the age of 42 about possibility of miscarriage. I had hoped that we could have a baby but God had other plans. I lost our little boy. I went in for my 20 wk ultrasound & there was no heartbeat. I had to be induced & have my little angel on 8/15/13. He weighed 3.3 oz & 8 1/2 inches long. He was diagnosed with Cystic Hygroma/Turner Syndrome which is a chromosone disorder. It has been a hard time but I have alot of people to help me through this difficult time. My husband and I have to give it time and make a decision as to whether we would want to try again. We are giving our little angel, Luke Isaac a proper burial next week.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet little boy.  I can't imagine your grief - any loss is incredibly hard, but I know it can be even harder when it happens once you pass 12 weeks. I wish you peace and healing in time.  Also, if you do decide to try again, there is so much hope.  First, you were able to get pregnant at 42, which is wonderful and means it can happen again.  And it is possible to have a healthy pregnancy at 42 and even 43 - there is lots of proof here on MH. Take your time, let yourself mourn, and then make the decision that works best for you and your husband.  Take care - you'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss. My son passed away after a car accident at age 16, so I know how you must feel. Only I got much more time than you did. A loss is still a loss and it's very traumatic and emotional.  Sending lots of love and prayers to you. I am 23 weeks pregnant with a baby girl and after such a loss some days it's hard to be happy but we are. This is a new joy in our lives and I pray if it's Gods will in your life, you will have another baby and have a healthy pregnancy.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. It is not easy losing a child. I want to try and give you some hope. In 2011 I lost twins their hearts stopped, and then a few months later I had a blighted ovum. We took a break for a few months then tried again, and finally got that good egg. My son is now 5 months old and I am 41 years old and my husband is 48. So if it is your hearts desire to have a baby, don't give up hope :)

I'm so sorry to hear about your little angel. I'm praying for you. It's so hard to lose a baby to miscarriage no matter what the age. I lost one at 5 weeks and it was hard even then. But I've had a little girl since then. She will be 6 months on the 28th. You can try again. It might help comfort you. I know he can't be replaced but it might help.

I'm so sorry for your loss I cant imagine how you must be feeling. Take some time tho try not to decide right away about trying again cuz I'm sure your emotions are high right now. Ill keep you in my prayers. And just take confort in knowing that he's with god and watching over you both. Again I'm so sorry.
