Oh Immi, I'm so sorry to read this about the trisomy 16 - as you say, everything happens for a reason and the body knows what it is doing. I know that the majority of early miscarriages happen because of genetic issues, and it worries me thinking about mine and what went on (as I mentioned, being in the UK I will never know as they never test anything!!!) and whether it might happen again. I just have to trust and hope and pray that it won't and that is my prayer for you. Sending big hugs xxx
Immi ... my heart is breaking for u ... m so sorry for ur loss ...plz dont be hard on urself ... u did ur best .. may be this was not the right time for us ... :( ... hugsss xx
Thanks ladies xox
I asked my OB if this would increase my chance of it happening again and he said 'No'. He said that I still have the 1/500 (approx.) chance of it happening again the same as anyone else and that just because it happened once doesn't mean it increases my risk etc. Of course he couldn't say that it wouldn't happen again but he thought it would be unlikely. So - a 'little' bit of relief....
I agree - lightning doesn't usually strike twice in the same place. :)
I'm so sorry for your loss and sorry about the trisomy :( usually trisomies are rare and I highly doubt it will happen to you again. We lost our first baby when I was 13 weeks pregnant, he had a trisomy 21. After that I've been very scared if I ever have healthy children but here I am with two lovely and healthy boys.
All the best to you and your family!
