Hello,
I recently lost my twins at 18 weeks due to infection of the placenta (chorion), caused by rising bacteria from the vagina. It weakened one twins membrane which subsequently burst and started labour, despite the twins being perfectly healthy.
I think it's also called Chorioamnionitis.
I was being scanned fortnightly with urine tests for infections. In addition i had bloods and a swab at 12 weeks which was clear, and they were also clear on my entry into hospital after the waters broke. Therefore, it's an infection from a bacteria they can not determine (i.e. not BV, streb b etc...)
Has anyone else experienced this and what answers did you find? What tests did you have and how did you approach / plan to approach your next pregnancy?
Thank you
