For those who have lost a baby 16-22 weeks

[JudyGertrude]

I'm curious about those who have lost babies b/t 16 - 22 weeks due to incompetent cervix, and others for whom the babies' heart just stopped and died in the womb.  I would like to hear from those who have experienced this.  

With incompetent cervix, are there any warning signs, or does it just happen?

When the baby dies in utero, are there cramps, bleeding, or other signs?  

Thanks for your time!

I m so sorry for ur all loss... My SIL lost her baby at 18weeks... I was devastating for our whole family as it was the first mc in our family after my mother had 2 still born... No one knew why or how that happened... She said she only had back pain n thn she had really bad flu... She went into bathroom sneezed and thts it her membrane ruptured.. She did not pass baby for 8 days.. Baby was alive n moving inside her without water... We all were praying for miricale... Thn she gave birth to her baby boy... She still is not over that... I know its very hard as i had early miscarriage last yyear n it took me 6/7 months to get over it.... I m pregnant 16weeks n i get scared all the time tht something will go wrong... Since 14 weeks i hve been having terrible back pain n cramps but i m just keeping an open mind.. N letting nature do its best... I hope u all stay ok... Best wishes...

This pregnancy I get scared for every little thing I end up going to my dr about 4 times a week because I have pains or something of another my dr is already frustrated and annoyed with me but I can't help it I have a cerclage and I just want this bby girl to be safe. I started praying and it does help me calm down alot

Hi. I lost my baby boy at 20 weeks 3 days.. I have an incompatent cervix.  I did have cramps and back pain but I didn't realise it was something I had to worry about. (tmi) I had been constipated for around 3 days so I thought that it was cramps and back pain from bloding. Since the pains were not severe. Anyways they never went away so I decided to go to the hospital see if they could give me something for the constipation and my pain slowly started getting more painfully well when they got me up to L&D I was 6 cm displayed and my water was buldging
