Being sent for ultrasound with high risk perinatologist\nFirst pregnancy\nAll is well, other than baby is breech
137424
Dr. is just checking to make sure that there isn't a problem, you and baby are probably fine.  There is still time to turn from breech, they often don't settle head down for another month or so. \n\nMy littlest was in the 95th percentile too- for his head size!  (ow)  He was 8lbs 15oz.  \n\nYou will get more info from the high risk perinatologist.  It's just a precaution.  5% of babies are bigger than yours, which is still thousands of kids.  You also may be further along than they think.\n\nAll the best!

I got pregnant by a guy who thought was a night in shining armor (turned out to be a jerk in tin foil).  When I miscarried at 12 weeks I was devastated!  I had serious depression after that.  I stopped living in a way and was just there.  One day it dawned on me that I needed to leave if I was ever going to move on.  3 weeks later I was at Naval boot camp in Chicago.  That led to meeting my wonderful hubby and having a beautiful son.  I'm even pregnant again!  I'm no longer in the Navy because I wanted to stay at home to care for my son myself but I know that if I hadn't of joined the Navy that day, I wouldn't have the wonderful life I have now.

Listen, I AM a lawyer and I am asking you to let this go.  I am so truly sorry for your loss but the cause of death here was obvious.  The cord was wrapped around the baby's neck multiple times.  You asked for blood work, etc.  Under these circumstances, why would a doctor follow your orders?  There is no medical reason to do so and the insurance company certainly won't want to pay for a procedure simply because an upset mother "wants" one done.  \n\nLet's assume for the moment that the doctor should have followed your orders (and I think he was right in not doing so by the way), what would you sue for?  He didn't cause the death of your baby.  He didn't cause you injury.  No injury equals no lawsuit.  There is no cause of action available for failure to follow patient instructions.  Unless you can prove that something he did caused physical injury to you or caused your baby to die, then you simply have no recourse.\n\nAgain, I am so very sorry for your loss.  Having 4 miscarriages has got to be heart breaking.  But don't take your anger out on someone who did you no harm.\n\nI wish you luck on all of your future endeavors and pray that your next pregnancy will come to term without complication.

unfortunately, after it happens, there is no way of testing or knowing. i had something like the same thing happen a bit back, and i asked the doctor and she said that if its done and passed through already, there is no way of knowing but that it sounds like it was a miscarriage. your situation sounds like it may have been, but it is also possible that it was just a weird period.

you might want to take a pregnancy test, or go to the doctor, it might be stress related. or if you've had unprotected sex, and are not on birth control, there is a possibility of a miscarriage.

First calm down. I understand why you are concerned. Losing a baby is very tragic. But just because it happened 10 years ago doesn't mean it is going to happen now. The symptoms you have described for yourself are normal. I didn't have sickness, cravings, sensitivity to smell with my pregnancy either. Count this as a blessing! Being tired and on/off breast tenderness is normal. Try reading "What to expect when expecting" "Girlfriends guide to pregnancy" etc... Stop obsessing about losing this baby and start enjoying him/her. I truly understand the concerns. Make an appt. with your doctor to help ease your mind. As far as having a miscarriage WITH OUT ANY symptoms I don't know about. That is a question for the professionals.

Hi, I myself have had the same problem. Before you rush off to the OB-GYN, ask yourself if you have had a lot of stress lately, or going through anything stressful. If you are, try and relax, take a hot bath, and take some time for yourself. If not, then maybe you should go and see your physican, to make sure that this not serious. Hope you stay well!

I think  the fetus, receiving oxygen via the placenta, is exposed to much Hemoglobin but I am not sure I would ask your doctor

stay together for the kids, you don't need this kinda stress at this point in your life(preg) it could have detrimiental effects on the baby. There should be a waiting period for seperations like there is for buying handguns...you need a cooling off period

My guess is that they had first-trimester miscarriages.  It could just be coincidence.  It could also be that for whatever reason you have a relatively high number of defective sperm (no offense), or maybe your genetically defective sperm swim extra fast for some reason.  I'm just guessing here, but it seems to me that some individuals could be at a higher risk for nondisjunction events (when homologous chromosomes fail to separate) with results in trisomies and monosomies (the sperm has the wrong number of chromosomes, so the embryo has the wrong number of chromosomes).  Trisomy 21 causes Downs Syndrom, and I think there are one or two others that can result in full-term babies, but most of them self-abort in the first trimester.  If I'm right, it could also explain your fertility issues.  However, I want to make perfectly clear that this is just the speculation of a first-year bio major and shouldn't be taken as an authoritative answer!\n\nPS.  I think it's a really cool thing to have picked up on, and there's a very good reason your doctor didn't go into research. :)

Did they tell you anything about the test results? Sometimes women who have repeated miscarriages like this have an abnormal clotting factor in their blood that causes the placenta to clot off early in pregnancy and results in miscarriage; in other cases it could be due to incompatibility in certain blood factors between mother and fetus. Sometimes they don't find a specific cause. From your question it suggests that you CAN carry a pregnancy (since you have a child and the last was lost so late and unrelated to anything with you)...so I wouldn't give up hope on this.  As for chromosomal...some people have what is called a "balanced translocation", which doesn't affect them but could cause genetic problems in their children and lead to miscarriages as you describe. The chances for a successful preganancy in that situation could be significantly lower than if it was a problem like the ones described previously. The testing would tell if you or your  partner has such a translocation. There are ways around that situation, too...but they would involve IVF, to ensure that any potential babies conceived did NOT carry the translocation.

Why cant you tell her whats going on. Get a doctors note or something. What is she supposed to think if she has no explantions. You are wrong not  informing her. All she see's is your work proformance going down the tubes. maybe she would cut you some slack if she new ther ewas a medical issiue and you were going to lose the baby because its in your tube. This is a serious condition and if not treated soon you could lose your tube if it bursts and posiably risk your life and the lifes of any other children. I would talk to her right away and have some medical papers or your Dr. phone number to bacl you up.

More than likely it's due to the pregnancy... your baby is going to be putting on weight soon so the placenta is gonna get bigger-  causing pain in your sides, back, ect. But just to be safe I would bring it up at your next check-up

at 18 weeks the baby is fully formed. I lost my son then and had to have a full delivery. They induce you. We had a funeral but you dont have to. Its a choice thing

It's most likely pregnancy.  Have them do a blood test.  Then you will know for sure.
