Just lost baby at 14+6 - how can I find out why?

[Cracker]

I have had an awful pregnancy, heavy bleeds at 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks then spotting until 14 weeks and that week I had three heavy bleeds. The last one on Monday started being watery and I recognised the smell of my waters.
Went to a&e, had regular pains but not too bad over a few hours. Pain all stopped went to the toilet before I was discharged and passed my baby.

So I was admitted and had d&c yesterday as I didn't pass my placenta.

So I realise now it was my waters and then contractions. But I don't know why? My worry is I had LLETZ over 2 years ago (after my dd) so could this be IC?
Surgeon mentioned that probably due to my placenta - which they think could have been the cause of my bleeds.

I am going home today - but who can I get this info from? I am just worried about it happening again if we try again
Thanks

I am so sorry for your loss.
I don't know what you have been through, but I lost my Ava at 20 weeks and they tested her tissue and it didn't grow so i will never know why she passed. I gave birth also but I was 40 and the doctor told me he is 90% sure it was chromosomal. How he can say this is beyond me, testing proves things and in my case it proved nothing. So I will never know why I lost her.
You should get in contact with your doctor and press him as to why this may have happened, I am sorry I don't have any info for you. I had 3 healthy boys they are 20,17 and almost 12 so I don't know why I lost Ava, cause I was older, cause something was wrong? I hope you get some answers and again I am so deeply sorry. If you ever need a friend I am always here..XOOXOO

Thanks to those who replied - I am going in to see my GP next week but that's it, no follow up or anything. I lost my baby 5 hours from home on a business trip so it is tricky because I was so far out of my area

Hi, I'm sorry for your loss I would imagine your GP should be able to answer a lot of these questions, and there should be some sort of follow up with your own hospital and a specialist there once the results and info are sent over from the hospital you were at.

I know it's hard, but sometimes there is no cause, and that in many ways can be harder than dealing with a recognized problem, so be prepared for that. I was never given a reason, but was told that it is a good thing, in that there is no reason for it to happen again. I was like you, having intermittant bleeding for weeks before it became my waters, and it was all over at 16 weeks.

I hope the coming weeks are gentle on you

i am very sorry for your loss as i hits close to home. i lost my son at 18 weeks due to placenta previa, i had severe bleeding. i know its very scary and hard. i know in most cases before 20 weeks they dont suggest tests or autopsies, in my case i was given the option and i chose not to have any tess done because it didnt make my pregnancy or my son any less validated or not. ive done a lot of research tha suggests many women go on to have healhy normal pregnancies, though it is sill a risk. wait 5-6 months before ttc so your body can heal. many women including myself still have many signs/symptoms of pregnancy up to a year after a late miscarrage.

google is a wonderful world but always refere questions back to your dr.
