Miscarriage at 16 weeks

[thinkb2k]

I was in my 4th month, baby was measuring exactly 16 weeks, baby had a strong heartbeat of 165, and my hormone levels were normal.  I noticed fluid leaking that had this gushing feeling.  Went in for an ultrasound, baby was okay - he/she was moving around freely!  Two weeks later noticed some blood along with mild cramping, went back to the doctor and the ultrasound showed the baby did not have enough amniotic fluid.  The doctor said it was unlikely that the sac would reseal itself, but we still wanted to wait a week.  Unfortunately the very next day I was bleeding a lot and had to go to the ER.  I had a D&E procedure that weekend.  The baby was still alive with a strong heartbeat but obviously wouldn't live without the fluid.  They tested the fetus and there were no abnormalities.  Our expanded AFP results came back negative.  

If you have a less than 5% chance of miscarrying at this point in time AND we heard the hearbeat until the very end AND there were no development problems, why did this happen?  Has this happened to anyone?  I'm so scared and nervous because I'm afraid this will happen again especially if they don't know why it happened in the first place.

Hi everyone I was 16 weeks. I went in for an u/s and they tolme
that they didn't see or hear a heart beat, but also there was no flour around the baby. I am still greaving the passing of my baby. I had my baby cremated and brought home with me,cause the anatomy board wanted to wait until next year to Barrie my baby and excuse me but I said hell NO! I WANT LET MY BABY SIT THAT LONG....WTH!

i recently lost my baby too at 15 weeks and 3 days...i went to pee and my water just burst suddenly went to the hospital and they took so long to see me by time they did they told me my baby had died...i had to have him naturally and then the did a D and C...i wonder if there was something they could have done to save my baby. i am so fearful to have another child in the future because they have no reason why it happened just telling me it happens to everyone. i am so sad and angry because i have no answers and to deliver my baby and he is dead makes me hurt so much...i think of all he could be and it hurts so much because my family and friends were so excited to meet him.

my water broke at 18wks and the doc said they would watch me closely to see if there was any chance that that the sac would reseal itself. Two days later I went into labor giving birth to my son who did not survive. I too was diagnosed with PCOS. I was so devastated.

I just read yur post I know it been 5 yrs since u post this , but I just lost my baby at 16 wks as well. It extremely hard for me. Me and my husband been trying for over 5 -6 yrs so when I find out I was pregnant it meant the world to us. I'm scared because I don't want this to happen to me again. By the days go by I'm getting better. I just have to keep praying

I am experiencing the same experience you experienced a while back. It seems that You are telling my story in exact details and order, OMG. I am in so much pain over my loss and he was a 3rd boy I just fell in love with him the second i held him and touched his tiny hand. When will the heartache stop, and the crying. I miss him so much. I have 2 beautiful boys, but i guess i still want more. Please let me know what the doctors told you. He was 16 weeks and 6 days, and he was so real. The hardest part was planning for the burial. I cried for hours that day, i didn't go to the burial. I couldnt see my baby boy that was developed perfectly put in a little box under the ground, it was too much. I hope that no mother will ever go through this. I never understood the emotions of a miscarriage, but now i know. There is nothing stronger than a mothers love for her children,
