Pregnancy Info HOME

BOth of your stories break my heart. We just had twin boys 2/6/09, and I had a placental abruption with twin A at 14-21 wks, but he held on, and then baby B had his cord so tight around his neck that they could barely cut if off (I insisted on them doing the c-sect early 36 w 3 d as opposed to 4 days later at 37 wks (I had severe pre-eclampsis w/bp of 180/112 on bed rest! and was very afraid of an abruption and all 3 of us dying and b/c I was so afraid of a cord accident as well-Baby B was moving less and less each day), turns out I was right, he likely woulnd't have made it if we waited until the next day. I think that more needs to be published about both abruptions and cord accidents, as they are not rare causes of fetal death in late pregnancy! How often do they have to do dopplers of the umbilcal cord to see if there's a problem or pending cord accident??? Why do you have to wait for6 months or 9 mos to get pg again b/c of a c sect-? I was hoping to do another IVF within 3 mos, but with the twins I had my 3rd c sect too.?? Anyone find out if what kind of placenta problems could happen with too soon of preg after c sect? YOU BOTH ARE IN MY PRAYERS FOR STRENGTH, and COURAGE, and HEALING!!!!!
