I have recently had my 2nd appt at the recurrent mc clinic, after having 3 mmc, all around 12 weeks.
All of my blood results came back normal, as did the genetic testing.
I also got the results from the tests on the baby. These said that there was nothing 'wrong' with the baby, nothing developmental or genetic. I was told that the baby had been developing fine, until 'something' went wrong.
The consultant then said that the results are now becoming more detailed when looking at the cord and the placenta. She said that the results noted a highly coiled cord, ie more tightly twisted than was usual. She felt that this could be the reason that the baby had died, but stated that there was nothing that could be done about this. She also said that this was often an issue with later still births.
I'm not sure what to make of this, and am wondering how coman it might be, and if it is likely to be reccuring.
Has anyone else had a similar result, or have anything to add?
Sorry this is a bit waffly, but feeling a bit strange just now.
Thanks.
