Come to ShareUnion 2012: It's the BEST weekend ever!!!  

Hi and welcome to Share. I am so very sorry for your loss. You should make an appt with your Dr to discuss your concerns about becoming pregnant again. As long as you haven't had a problem getting pregnant in the past your recently diagnosed incompetent cervix shouldn't change that, it does mean you will need good prenatal care though. Give yourself some time to grieve the loss of your child before you make any decisions. Good luck!
Laura

I went through the same thing in Dec 2011 I have one child only and the second I had a healthy pregnancy then weird discharge and went to hospital when I seen blood. I was in labour for about 12 hours and had my baby boy he was not born alive he had already passed away. They said I had an incompetant cervix as well. They said its unusual to have one good pregnancy and then be diagnosed with this. I will have to be stitched next time as well. As time goes on you will realise it is possible to have another and the pain will get easier to deal with as time passes. Believe it or not my daughter is the one that gave me the strenth watching her loving her helped a great deal. I am thinking of you!!

I am so sorry for your loss. I gave birth at 26 weeks during my first pregnancy. My second pregnancy I had a stitch, progesterone shots and was on modified bed rest beginning at 24 weeks. I made it to full term. I would ask about seeing a high risk OB/GYN before trying to get pregnant again. I did that, and it gave me a lot of comfort knowing that I had a plan in place for my second pregnancy.
Thinking of you,
Marissa

Welcome to Share. I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard not to blame yourself, but remember, this is not your fault. This is a great place to find others that understand.

Hugs,

Hi there,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. this is the worst journey that a parent can face ... and i'm so sorry that you have to experience it.

It baffles me to no end that hospitals, doctors and nurses sometimes discount how we mom's feel and then something tragic happens because no one wanted to play it safe.

When you are ready -- emotionally and physically -- talk to a high-risk doctor before you get pregnant again. Have a plan in place -- and make sure that plan is followed to the T. I lost twin boys at March 2007 ... for unknown reasons. For my last two rainbow pregnancies -- I met with the MFM, established a plan with him that my regular OB followed to a T. I also did the 17P shots -- and will forever wonder if that would have made a difference with my sons.

Take your time to grieve and heal -- and check in often.

sorry to hear about your loss, i lost my baby boy in Jan. this year, he was my first son and it hurts so much to not have him, it is very hard to accept the new reality because we never thought this would happen to us. i know i never imagined myself going thru this, the pain gets easier to deal with but you will never forget your little one no matter how many years pass by. i really hope you find peace in the middle of this storm, it is not easy, one can't understand, but now you have an angel that's looking down on you and your family. i'll keep you in my prayers and just be strong and patient, time will help you heal.

hugs,

Claudia

sorry to hear your loss. But you dont have to get your uterus stitch. I was diagnos with a incomplete cervix at 20 weeks and dr already determine that my baby wasnt gonna make it. It's a false statement. Getting my uterus stitch was something I didnt wanted to do but to try to save the baby I decide to get it done and later I didnt get my uterus stitch. In fact I took medication to release the contraction and there was medication shot called "p17 shot" which it free if you qualify. So I took my medication and recieve the shot once a week. I make it to full term. It break my heart to know that I was gonna lose another baby early again cause of my cervix. Yes, you can get pregnant again and this time you can ask your dr to referred you to the high rise dr that works with pregnant work who have a complicated previous pregnancy. I wish you the best.
