Miscarriage at 17 weeks

[LisaL18]

Had a subchorionic hemorrhage diagnosed around 7 weeks, said was small.  Had several more ultrasounds due to some bleeding issues.  At week 13 had a nuchal screening, all was perfect, baby moving, looked great.  Week 17, this past saturday, day 1 woke up not feeling well, then mild cramps, then mild spotting.  Eventually called dr and went to ER.  Where things looked positive, fetal doppler positive for HB at 140-160 or so I was told.  Went for ultrasound later and finally told lot of bleeding - my guess is placental abruption???  Not really told much.  Pelvic exam revealed closed cervix so they sent me home to wait and see and followup with dr on monday.  About 10 pm started more severe cramping took some Vicodin they gave me, did nothing.  Baby miscarried around 11.  Other products would not come out and heavy bleeding so back to ER.  Eventually had a D/C to remove everything.  Very bad day.

Just had to get off my chest.  Thanks!

Moonflower,

If the SCH gets too big then it can cause a miscarriage as the placenta is not getting the nutrients and oxygen it needs.  My OB had me do bedrest some and no strenuous activity to help prevent complications.   They did not say this was my problem and in fact I had an ultrasound at 13wk 1 day and they said it was getting better, this was a nuchal screening and it was totally normal as well as the bloodwork - so from that test no indication of chromosonal issues.  No idea what happened, just makes me wonder.  Maybe my age 42?  the cord was wrapped around the baby's neck, but they say that could have happened during birth?  Just so sad.  

thanks for the thoughts.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know it's hard. I too went through the same thing.

Did your doc give you any info about the subchronoic hematoma (sp?)?

I'm curious about this. I had a mc between 9-10 weeks. Doc said it must have gentic abonormaties or my age (I was 38). But I two was diagnoised with this at 7 weeks. Can this cause a miscarriage?

When I asked my doc she said absolutly not but I've always wondered...

I am so sorry you had to go through that. It is the hardest thing to go through.

I wanted to let you know that I feel for you, this type of loss is just horrible. I know first hand how awful it is to lose the baby around that stage of pregnancy.  Hang in there!

So sorry for your loss. I hope you can find some peace and heal quickly. I know a miscarriage is very emotionally and physically painful. All my best to you, you are in my prayers.

Thanks for the comments everyone.  It is just so hard to deal with this, I do not know how to handle it.  I feel for all of you who have gone through a loss.

My little guy looked so perfect on the outside, but I know it was God's Will and my husband says he is in Heaven, so all is good.

This just breaks my heart! I am truly sorry. I wish I had the right thing to say but I know nothing takes away the pain.

My son Cooper was born (full term) and passed away when he was 7wks old so I know the pain of loosing a child all to well! If you need to talk anytime, please feel free!

Sending you hugs!
