What goes wrong when you have a misscariage at 16 weeks pregnant?

Question

I was in my 2nd trimester, about 16 weeks pregnant, and I had a misscariage!

Answer 1

Im very sorry to hear that you lost your baby, Its hard loosing a baby, but even harder after the 12 week safe zone, Im sure that you did nothing wrong,sometimes these things just happen, I lost my first baby in the 2nd trimester and I was told it was the fact bub just stopped growing, the geans just weren't right and if I had of gone to full term the baby would have been retarted or missing something thats why when our body realises that something isn't right it regects it. I blamed myself and it was very hard for me to get over. I think you should see a counclier and talk about how your feeling, keeping it to yourself will eat you up. On a better note after I lost my first baby I fell pregnant again and carried to full term.
With my situation I carried to 18 weeks and at my ultrasound found out the baby had stopped growing at 13 weeks and my body didn't regected it so I was rushed to have a D&C as it could have made me really sick. I had the D&C in April and fell pregnant in June. Having a miscarriage does not nessarly mean that it will happen again but when you fall pregnant again your doctor will keep a very close eye on your pregnancy to ruduce the chances of another miscarriage.

Once again Im very sorry for your loss and really think you should talk about it to help deal with your feelings. I wish you all the best with your future and if you ever need to talk Im very happy to listen. All the best.

Probably infection or you may have an incompetent cervix. I had a loss at 19 weeks and at 23 weeks. You may need a cerclage (a stitch around your cervix) with your next pregnancy. Talk with your doctor and ask in depth what happened to make you have to deliver. There are many places on the internet where people have had the same thing happen to them, and understand what you are feeling. Try the msn group for incompetent cervix. I know it seems far away, but time will help ease your pain.

first i might want to easily elect to assert that im sorry on your loss! from what you've stated i cant say why you miscarried, yet i think neither might want to the docs and the rationalization behind that's that in early being pregnant the fetus is too small and lower than-more desirable to be able to do any finding out on, i no its perplexing for you and also you're searching for solutions to discover closure, notwithstanding the actuality is there probable isn't a million particular reason- it would properly be a number of aspects which includes the fetus itself-it would no longer were reliable sufficient, there would were clinical themes that were unidentified, it would also be concerning to the rigidity that you've been experiencing, there are a number of issues that would have contributed on your miscarriage and the unhappy aspect is you'll by no skill no for particular yet i wish u discover peace contained in the actual undeniable actuality that your little angel is in heaven and also you would by no skill forget her or him!

Miscarriage is usually not a fault of the mother, just natures way of saying something is wrong it can't go any further. Many miscarriages are due to baby having defects. You prob had a d&c, if you did deliver (you are right at the border of gestation ) a atopsy will be preformed.

Answer 5

While it IS painful-- I do not mean just physically, but emotionally too!--to go thru a miscarriage, perhaps that was good for you.
What if ,with help from doctors, the miscarriage was averted, but the baby that was born was deformed?
Be careful about submitting yourself to jolts in buses and carriages, the next time.
All's well, my dear. All things happen for your own good.
[Whether that is true or not, adopting and firmly holding on to this belief will be for YOUR overall Good!!]

Answer 6

Something just wasn't right dear. Its not easy to get two little cells together and have them create a perfect little person. It could be anything from defect in the placenta to an internal problem with the baby......he wasn't ready sweety, but he will be back and you will know when it happens....

i feel the "wholesomeness" in life has tended to run it's course...there's a certain harmony to life that seems to elude many...no offense...the foods we eat...the way we raise our children...i mean...I'm certain there's a medical explanation for what you were facing...maybe it's as simple as forgetting to or not taking the iron pregnancy multi vitamins that are supplied by your obgyn...maybe it's a question of your health..or even the fathers...I would offer my condolences and suggest getting yourself a private general practitioner physician...someone to talk to about your problem and come to some kind of resolution...but...I hear more and more of these types of problems...everyday now...we need to focus people...on the things that are really important...the rest will come naturally...gl...
