Hey guys, thought I would chip in here.
I had a miscarriage in June 2011. Unfortunately for me, because of how far along I actually was at the time, its going to mean me not relaxing for quite awhile, if at all during this period of time. I was 18 weeks along when mine happened. Tests showed there was an infection in the uterus, a chorioamniotic infection thing. I was told that it would be unlikely for it to happen again, that I have a good shot at having a healthy pregnancy, especially since I already have had one healthy child, but it doesn't help though. Im still so nervous about the possibilities of having a repeat.
A few days before the actual miscarriage happened, I had started having contractions and went to the emergency with that, and was diagnosed with a UTI then and put on meds for it, and my midwife thinks that maybe it was the trigger for stuff, irritating the uterus, so Im planning on asking for urine tests to make sure there aren't any infections, and if there are, seeing if I can't get them headed off early so that they hopefully can't cause anything bad to happen.
This time around, I haven't had a positive test, because I can't afford them, but the fact im like 2 weeks late now, and have had the whole nipple sensitivity and nausea, its pretty obvious to me. Im about 5 weeks and 6 days, based on LMP date.
