Will the my 2nd pregnancy last?
Hi All,
I am 27yrs old/4-10"/pregnant woman and my pregnancy is 8 weeks old. This is my 2nd pregnancy .In my last Pregnancy Baby died (of age about weeks 28) due to abnormal placenta growth and short FL. The last Ultrasound report in the 24th week: BPD was 61.1mm and FL 33.7 mm. The fetus/baby died by pre-mature delivery on 11th November 2007. We did all the Test as recommended by Gyno/doctor and all result are in our favor. We did the following tests if any one wanted I can provide in more details. 1. Ultrasound Lower abdomen. 2. LUPUS Anticoagulant Study. 3. HB,TC,DC,PCV 4. Anti Cardiolipin antibody (IGG +IGM) 5. HBA1C 6. TORCH complex (IGG +IGM) 7. Biopsy 8. Renal Profile- III 9. Coagulation Profile. Now my question is will the pregnancy last? If the pregnancy will held then what are the chances that the child will live after birth. Now I am really worried and before the visit to Gynae I want to get some knowledge from you people... Rita H. |

Will the my 2nd pregnancy last?
I'm sorry about your first baby. My guess is that it was just a fluke, and
since it was just a fluke, you have the same chances of it happening this time, which is not very great. It was just (bad) luck of the draw that it happened to you the first time. Having had it happen the first time doesn't make it any more likely to happen again, unless you have a chromosomal issue that you are passing on. With that, and all the tests that you have had done that came out okay, SO FAR things look as good as possible for this pregnancy. But 8 weeks is way to early to tell for sure if a pregnancy is going to last or not, and if the baby will be born healthy or not. As scary as it is, to have a subsequent pregnancy after experiencing a loss, it's just the way that it works. There are no guarantees. This baby may well be perfectly healthy, or this baby may have some sort of physical or chromosomal issues that aren't apparent yet. You won't know until you either do some testing to find out,(CVS or Amnio, Level II U/S) or until the baby is born. But, all in all, so far so good, and that's really all you can ask for. There are no guarantees in life, and especially not in pregnancy. BUT, you've had one bad outcome, which makes the next pregnancy seem even more risky, but in all likelyhood it's probably not. The chances of this pregnancy going to term and resulting in a happy and healthy baby are good. I know it's hard, but try not to stress or obsess about it. It doesn't do any good, and doesn't change the outcome. Instead, try to celebrate each day that you are still pregnant, and have faith that if this is meant to be, then it will be.

Eat sensibly. Don't drink alcohol or take drugs. Eat lots of fresh fruits
and veggies. If you have severe morning sickness, just eat what you can stand, and don't fret about it. If that means you eat nothing but bagels or french fries for a few days, then so be it. Once your morning sickness goes away you can get back on the healthier bandwagon. In general, doctors recommend against most medications except Tylenol (I think) and Benedryl. Take a good prenatal. If it makes you feel queasy, take it at night before you go to bed. Take a stool softener such as Colace. I'm sure your doctor has a standard recommended timeframe for various testing options, including the level II u/s. -- Jamie Clark "RHP2008" u42354@uwe wrote in message news:81aba9ef20840@uwe...
