Hey bit of a back ground sorry if doesn't make sense💔
So I'm 22 weeks pregnant I went for my 20 week scan about 2 weeks ago and they said all is well apart from couldn't get a good head measurement so had to go back for another ultrasound fast forward to now I went back for my ultrasound yesterday and it's gone from bad to worse head was measuring small and they are saying baby hardly has any amniotic fluid only little pockets, I got transferred to Norwich fetal medicine hospital today doctors saying overall baby is small for his gestation so maybe placenta isn't functioning properly he still barley has any fluid in there deepest pocket was 1.9mm, they saying they will keep an eye on baby but there's a high chance he could pass away before they can get him out, has anyone been through this and can share their story? How do u get over a loss of a baby😭😭 I'm in bits blaming ourselves, I also had the genetics testing done to see if baby has anything wrong, please someone tell me how we can get through this😭😭😭

I am so sorry for what you're going through. Has there been any updates since?

I lost my little girl Ava at 22 weeks in September. I went in to triage with spotting, turns out I was 3-4cm dilated, after a perfect 20 weeks scan just days before. They put in an emergency stitch which worked but my infection markers in my blood kept rising and were dangerously high. They were worried for my life so had to take the stitch out and deliver her to save me. It was the most horrific week of my life. She was healthy, after 4 missed miscarriages and we still lost her 😓

Losing a baby is impossibly hard. I struggle every day but I'm able to get out more now that it's been nearly 2 months since she was born. Because she was born alive I was entitled to maternity leave so I think not having to worry about work is helping. I can just focus on what I need day to day.
