Hi ladies.
So I lost my daughter a week ago at 17 weeks. I had preterm labor and my water broke. I had preterm issues with my 2 previous pregnancies but one was actually overdue and the last one was born 5 weeks early when I went off bedrest. I never imagined this would happen so soon, I knew a preterm baby was possible but thought I'd hang on until 34 or 35 weeks for sure!
I;m so devestated by the loss. I'm waiting to hear back on the autopsy to see if something was wrong or if it was just me.
DH and I plan to ttc again in a few months but I am so scared of another late loss. I don't think I could go through this pain again, it's been worse than when my mother died!
Does anyone have advice on how to get through this and survive pregnancy with optimism until week 24 when A the drs will actually TRY to STOP LABOR and B the baby can survive if it really did come?
I don't know how to get through this. I feel so lost and afraid and sick...I feel like I will never be whole again until I'm holding my dd in my arms.
Thanks for any advice.
