Post mortem results due

just hoping that all went as well as it possibly could do. :hug: :hug: :hug:
 
Thanks everyone

I didnt really get any proper answers im afraid :hissy:

PM showed that Sophie was a healthy baby who died from severe prematurity (lung hypoplasia) after I suffered from Oligohydramnios (premature rupture of membranes) :cry:

They think its probable that her placenta didnt attach properly which led to a few bleeds early on in the pregnancy, the bleeding irritated & weakened the fluid membranes eventually causing them to burst which opened them to infection.

I went into labour after my amniotic fluid became infected with Chorioamnionitis.

I will be monitored closely if I manage to get pregnant again & will be swabbed fortnightly from 6wks to at least 20wks to check for signs of infection.

I dont know how to feel to be honest... he reckons I have "7 chances out of 10" for a successful pregnancy in future which I suppose is still quite good but not as reassuring as id like it to be.

Im glad there wasnt anything genetically wrong with her but it makes me very sad to think she only died because my body failed her. If my membranes hadnt ruptured she would have been fine. :cry:

She should have been born this month & im finding it quite hard as all my pregnancy buddies have recently had theirs/are due to have their babies any time now.

Im glad everyone else is having healthy pregnancies as thats what keeps me going & one day I hope I will make it to the third trimester xx
 
Babe....I know what you mean, I blamed myself when I lost my 1st two children as they were premature...I didn't drink, smoke....nothing that could have brought on early labour. Eventually I learned not to beat myself up when a friend asked me what I'd say if it was someone else going through this....of course I would say that you held on best you could but had no control over what happened.


Lack of answers is hard I know but you did get some answers babe, when Thomas died 28hours after birth all the pm showed was that he was starved of oxygen at some point....they didn't know when or how and I still don't know if there was someone to blame that could have prevented this during labour/delivery:hissy:



You'll always wonder....what if etc....I still do, but things do get a little easier to bear but I won't kid you, it takes a long time:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:. If you ever want to talk or vent etc....please pm me, I'll be there for you.


So sorry today wasn't as helpful as you'd hoped....especially as you'd waited so blooming long:hug::hug::hug:
 
Hun you did everything you possibly could have, dont for one second blame yourself:hugs:

:hug:
 
just wanna say that I'm thinking of you sweetie xxxx

Oh hunny, i'm in tears...that's exactly what happened to me... If you need to talk about future pregnancies, (this is my second since having Chorioamnionitis) you know where to find me... :hugs: At least Chorioamnionitis is very rare and the chances of it happening again are very, very low. :hugs:
 
Nicky - :hug: :hug: :hug:

I know you will go on to have a healthy pregnancy.

:hug: :hug: :hug:
 
Sorry sorry sweetheart - please don't blame yourself. There's nothing that you could have done to prevent it.
Thinking of you.
:hugs:
 
I'm sorry you didn't get the answers you wanted. But you must try to not blame yourself. This was completely out of your control and sometimes nature throws us horrible blows. I'm sure that you will get your miracle before long.
:hugs:
 
Aw hun, I know it's so hard not to blame yourself but honestly nothing you did would have changed the outcome. I just don't think our babies were:hugs: meant for this life.

They think Beau had a placenta problem and I've been given a 1 in 8 chance of it happening again. Like you I'm going to get closely monitored if I get pregnant again.

Honestly hun, they'll monitor you so closely next time. If they even suspect it's going to happen again they'll be able to help you sooner than Sophie because they're already aware of it happening before.

I'm so sorry about little Sophie hun:hugs:
 
My life just goes from bad to worse!!! :hissy:

I've just received a letter from work informing me that im "part of a pool being considered for compulsory redundancy" so im now in a 30 day consultation period.

It looks like my workplace is closing down but they have been very underhand in the way they have gone about things & have denied this was going to happen. :hissy:

I've worked there for 11 years so the prospect of looking for another job right now really scares me. I dont know what to do :cry: xx
 
Nicky, i think that you have been so brave going through that appointment......well done you....:hugs:

you haven't failed anyone, let alone little Sophie.........you will have a baby one day, and Sophie will watch over you and your LO.......

take care.....
