Hello!
On the 8th April I went for my 20 weeks scan only to be told that they could not find a HB. My husband and I were devestated as I had heard the heart beat at 16 weeks and was told the baby sounded nice and healthy....galloping hb they said.
From the size of the baby on the scan they said it had dies around 18 weeks, of what they could not say. Since then I was induced and gave birth to our little girl that we have named Ceri-Anne. She was so small and perfect, I can not understand why this has happened to us.
We have opted for a post mortem to try to establish a cause but the results take so long, up to 6 weeks we have been told. I feel that I cannot move forward until I know what happened to her.
My husband and I really want a family, we got pregnant with Ceri-Anne pretty much as soon as we decided to try and I had a perfect pregnancy, no sickness or anything but now I am worried that it will take a long time to conceive again or that if we do this will happen again.
Has anyone out there been through this? Do you now have children and how long did it take?
I do not want to replace our Ceri-Anne but I feel that having a baby will help ease the pain.
Thank you
