Pregnant after Plancenta Abruption...

[Gemarooney]

Hi Ladies and Gents

I am new to this site but thought I'd search from some support. Where do I begin...

My 1st (Dec 2005) pregnancy was pretty straight forward, I had an elected c-section at 38 weeks as my daughter was breach.

My 2nd pregnancy (Jan 2009) was ectopic I had surgery but fortunatly the tube was saved and the tube was flushed.

3rd pregnancy (Aug 2009) was going well until 29 weeks I had an accident which resulted in a substancial blow to the tummy. I had bleeding the following morning and was admitted to hospital. No one seemed to know what was wrong? I went into premature labour at 31 weeks (natural birth) but in the height of labour my placenta detached completely my DD was born but had been starved of oxygen for 7 mins she lived for 72 hours on the Neo-Natal Unit but we withdrew her care as she was so serverly brain damaged we were advised she would unlikely pull through let alone have any quality of life.

4th pregnancy (Dec 2009) ectopic self aborted

5th pregnancy (Dec 2010) ectopic I had the leathal injection to terminate it as it was of an unknown location.

6th due 28/07/2012... fingers crossed its all going well I'm now 12wks. After losing our daughter in Aug 2009 I had several blood tests taken and it was discovered I have Factor V Leiden (a blood clotting disorder) which I was born with and APS so I now have to inject every day with 7500 of fragmin and take a baby aspirin.
Obviously I am concerned but I'm staying positive and realise that alot of what happens is out of our control. I am concerned as to wheather I can have a natural delivery or wheather I would be better off having a c-section there are pros and cons to both. The main thing at the mo is taking one day at a time I suppose.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

Gemma

Hi Gemma. So sorry for your loss. I too had a placenta abruption in July just gone. I was 36 weeks pregnant, everything was going great and then on that horrible day thought I was going into labour, was getting ready to leave the house to drop my little girl off before heading to hospital and thought my waters had broke. It wasnt when I looked it was a pool of blood. I hate a complete placenta abruption, got told the horrific news at hospital my baby died. I gave birth to my beautiful sleeping girl 8 hours later. There was no explanation for this, had test done but all come back fine. I've just found out I'm pregnant again and I'm petrified. I've been out on baby asprin too and already had early scan. Will be monitored closely by consultant and told if all goes well deliver at 34weeks. If I get that far, not even sure I'm going to get a crying baby out of this how are you going to b monitored have they said? I know nothing can prevent this but I'm so scared. My consultant want let me have a natural birth Incase there's any complications. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy. If u want to message me anytime of day I'm here, I know exactly how u are feeling xxxx
