WHY is my body expelling perfect babies? Devastated

@jcon1150 We live far away from Yale but I shall ask about tht slides with my OBGYN

@lostsheep75 Have they put you on aspirin?

I had a friend that had multiple late loss pregnancies with no cause found.The consultant put her on aspirin and next baby went to term.

 

[lostsheep75]

@cpaisley Yes I was on aspirin until I started bleeding then they stopped

@lostsheep75 I am so terribly sorry. Losing a pregnancy at any stage is painful, but past the first trimester is especially devastating. I don’t have any advice as I’m not familiar with these type of losses, but I would strongly consider meeting with a genetic counselor

 

[lostsheep75]

@easterbecky88 Will do thank you

@lostsheep75 I had a late term miscarriage due to a clothing disorder, it’s genetic. Never thought to test at first because I already had a healthy pregnancy to term with zero issues. Turned out the gene is recessive, so it didn’t “wake up” until I was in my late twenties.

 

[lostsheep75]

@gmania145 Oh got it will get it checked. Did you go on to have full term pregnancy post that ?

 

[creeksee]

@lostsheep75 Yes definitely get recurrent miscarriage testing done, it typically covers both genetic and autoimmune clotting issues. I have an autoimmune clotting disorder and have to take lovenox injections during pregnancy

 

[lostsheep75]

@creeksee Thank you will add this to the list of things I need to test in a month

 

[gmania145]

@lostsheep75 We haven’t tried, but my obgyn assured me that with blood thinners a healthy pregnancy should not be an issue

@lostsheep75 Are they testing the babies? It sounds like they may have had chromosomal abnormalities.

 

[lostsheep75]

@farmboy No issues with second baby during anomaly exams which cover downs and Pataus syndrome. The first was too early to test

 

[jjgolden]

@lostsheep75 My friend passed the genetic screenings and 20 week anomaly scan but her baby had trisomy that wasn’t detected until testing after the still birth.

 

[lostsheep75]

@jjgolden Oh both my babies weren’t tested after they came out. They were just handed to us.

 

[jjgolden]

@lostsheep75 Yea I think she had to pay for them to do extra genetic testing afterwards

 

[lostsheep75]

@jjgolden I didn’t know it was an option. I had a good insurance provider I would have used it to do a testing had I known that was even an option

 

[farmboy]

@lostsheep75 This is what I meant with my original question, actually. I'm surprised it wasn't offered.

@lostsheep75 My latest was 11 weeks (but measured 6). I passed him at home, but was able to collect the tissue and they sent it to the lab. It did give us some insights about what was happening. My husband has a genetic duplicate, which likely caused it.

It’s not covered under insurance (for me at least), but it was only $350. It’s called Product of Conception testing.

 

[lostsheep75]

@jmiles Both my foetuses are unfortunately buried already we didn’t know we could have tested
