Hi!! My name is Kristina. I just went through a loss in July at 27 weeks. My doctor had noticed that I have an incompatant cervix and I'm high risk for blood clots. They think my son died from a blood clot in the placenta. I'm 13 weeks pregnant right now and last week I had a cerclage and I will be on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy. I'm very scared right now and I'm trying to stay positive. My mom found this site for me and I joined so I could meet anyone who has gone through this and hear success stories.

Hi Kristina,
Welcome to Share...it is a wonderful place where you'll find many people that understand. I'm sorry for the loss of your son. I hope you find Share a place of comfort.

I cannot relate to the loss or the blood clotting issues, but I do have IC and in one of my pregnancies I was on bedrest for 6 months. This site helped me through those long days. The funny thing is when I brought home my healthy, full term son I looked at my husband and said I'd do it all over again! He thought I was crazy

There is a folder for women with high risks pregnancies (I'm blanking on the name of it...pregnant and fabulous?) that you might find a good place to go to chat with other women that are pregnant.

Good luck with your pregnancy.

Kristyn

Welcome to Share Kristina!! I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I know the heartache all to well that follows a loss. Please know that we're always here to listen if you need to talk.

Also, congratulations on your current pregnancy! I'm sure there are many questions and concerns running through your head. Here is the link to the "Pregnant and Fabulous..." folder that Kristyn was talking about: http://www.shareyourstory.org/webx/.ef61593/290

These girls will definately know how you feel. Others who had successful pregnancies after complications will pop in on occassion as well. No matter what....they'll keep you company while on bedrest! Keep us posted on how you're doing!

Hi Kristina First I am very sorry for your loss! There are so many success stories on this site. I am hoping to be one of them in a few weeks. I lost my twin girls one year ago today at 23 weeks (they are still not sure what caused my membranes to rupture so early.) But today I am currently 30 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. I have been receivng the 17 P shots, which are really not that bad , but I do not have a cerclage since my cervix luckily is not an issue for me. Hope your pregnancy goes well- sending you good wishes- Lisa
