Successful pregnancy after losing a baby at 22 weeks

[Shannybaby78]

On June 11th I gave birth to my first child..a son at 22 weeks of pregnancy.  He did not survive.  I have so many questions and I'm still so very sad.  Has anyone experienced something similar?  My pregnancy was fine until week 20 then everything went down hill.  20 week u/s was fine but I started having back pain.  The pain got very severe to where I could not sleep or eat and I ended up in the hospital to find I had hydronephrosis.  I was sent home with a follow up appt scheduled with a dr to talk about stenting my kidney.  Not even a week later I started bleeding and went back to the hospital to find I was 8 cm dilated already.  My severe back pain prevented me from knowing I was in labor.  Has anyone ever had hydronephrosis during their pregnancy?  How about pregnancies after having a preterm baby?  Any help or advice is appreciated.  I think I really just want someone to talk to who understands what I am going through :)

I went into pre-term labor at 22 weeks as well. I had severe low back pain for about a week prior. I called the doc because I was having Braxton Hicks left and right and they said it was nothing to worry about unless they became more than 4 an hour. That night I woke up and went to the bathroom to find I was bleeding profusely. By the time I arrived to the hospital I was 4cm dilated. An hour and 45 minutes later I was 10cm. 2 hours after arrival, my son was born weighing 1lb and 11 inches long. He only lived for a few minutes. I was told that all his genetic studies came back with no abnormalities. I had no sign of infection in blood or urine. There was no explanation for what had happend. That was in December of 09. I am now 8 weeks pregnant and as anxious as could be. But I understand what you're going through. All that can be done is crossing fingers for now. Good luck to you!

Hello every one, I am completely crushed. I lost my baby boy 2 days ago at 17 weeks, and I lost his twin 6 weeks ago. I  feel so low and drained, I'm not sure I know how to carry on. I had dreadful tummy ache, so I laid down on the sofa, but then I realised this was a "hospital situation ". I stood up, and the blood poured out, and the pain was unbearable. I delivered my baby boy 10 minutes after I got to hospital. We called him Charlie, and we are having a little funeral for him. Please can somebody help me get through the next few days.

I completely hear you. I was pregnant with twins (IVF pregnancy) and I lost the first one in 8 weeks and second one in 15 weeks. I didn't have any symptoms and my water broke suddenly. We rushed in to the hospital and the ultrasound showed no heartbeat and I had d&c the next day. I've been crying for the past two weeks and the doctors wont give me an answer since everything was looking good (but we're still waiting for the genetic test results even thou the first test in 11 weeks came out negative). I'm taking yoga classes now and hoping it would help.
