Close Miscarriage

i was pregnant with my 1st baby,went for 12wk scan+was told the baby had a cystic hygroma.had CVS done(which was very painful)+ was told the baby was developing hydrops.the results came back that i had a little girl with turners syndrome.on 8th september 2007,at 15wks pregnant,i lost my little girl.it was the worst pain in my entire life, both physically+emotionally.a wk later i had to have a d+c because i had retained pieces of placenta. i named her Grace+i miss her so much.

Treatments

D&C Somewhat Helpful

i was having severe cramps and passing pieces of membranes, went to hospital and they found retained products. i felt very unwell and as i was in so much pain they decided to do a d+c. my bleeding gradually settled and i felt better. still get mild period type pain but nothing in comparison to the pain i was experiencing before the operation.

Grief Counseling Working / Worked

i was really struggling to cope,especially when went back to work.i would be surrounded by constant reminders all day+it would upset me+i would come home and cry for hrs every night.i did see consellor at GP surgery but she wasnt helpful,didnt seem to understand+it made me feel worst.so i started to see bereavement midwife from hospital, who is specialised to counsel women who have lost their babies and she has really helped me, she would come out to my home+i still see her now occasionaly.

Close Turner Syndrome

on the 8th september i lost my baby girl Grace. i was 15wks pregnant. i found out that Grace had turners syndrome when i was 13wks pregnant, after having CVS.
