Pregnancy Fibroids Bleeding

preterm labor at 16 weeks & gave birth to our stillborn baby boy. Anyone been though a similar situation?

I'm 25 and my boyfriend and I just endured a very painful tragedy when our baby boy was born early at 16 weeks 2 days. The pregnancy was going so smooth until right at 16 weeks when i had severe constant cramping accompanied by spotting then eventually bleeding. We are going back in for testing later this month. My doctor confirmed i had a placental abruption either due to my fibroids or an unknown clotting factor. I'm curious if anyone has been though a similar situation. Losing a child is the worst pain one can go through. Any input would be helpful.

I lost my son at 16 weeks as well due to my water breaking. I had lost all of my amniotic fluid, and my dr. said that the only thing I could do was to be induced because my fluid would not replinish. I gave birth to our son, but he was not alive when he was born. I had him in March 2007, and even now, when I talk about him, I cry. It was the hardest time of my life. I became very depressed after having him. It seemed like no one really understood. Everyone used the same lines "It was for the best," "Better now than later," "You can have another." And of course, all these statements just made it worse. All I really needed was to have someone there to say I'm sorry you lost your baby. I know it hurts. It just seemed like because I was only 16 weeks when I had him, people discounted my loss and chalked it up to "just a miscarriage." The best support I got came from an online forum talking to other mothers who had suffered losses, and not from family and friends.

It was determined that I have an incompetent cervix. Basically, my cervix is not strong enough to hold in the weight of the baby. I thought I would never become a mother.

Six months later, I became pregnant again. I was soo scared. I had a cerclage placed (stitch in my cervix,) and tons of ultrasounds to monitor the condition of my cervix. I was placed on bedrest for about 12 weeks of my pregnancy, but I ended up giving birth to a healthy happy little boy.

My son will be 2 at the end of this month, and I'm due again in October with a little girl.

I know it hurts so bad right, but I promise it will get better. Give yourself plenty of time to grieve. He was your son, and it's hard to get through losing him - but you will. It will always hurt, but not as bad as it does right now. One thing that helped me was to talk about my son. I talked to my boyfriend all the time about him. I wanted everyone to know how much I loved that little baby, even though I wasn't that far along.

I wish you strength. It's a hard thing to go through. Lean on your family and friends for support, and if you need outside support, through a group or a counselor, get it. I hope your testing finds the cause of your loss. I'm sorry for your loss.
