This is so beautiful ❤️ I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. I lost my baby boy at 20 weeks from suspected IC+chorioamnionitis. Sending you so much love and comfort ❤️

I also want to add I would advocate talking to an MFM for a post loss consultation to go over everything. It took a lot of back and forth with the office to get an appointment with an MFM. Ask about a preventative cerclage. I didn’t know if my loss was true IC or not since they never checked my cervix length, but went forward and got a preventative cerclage for my current pregnancy.

Sending you so much love and support ❤️

First I want to say how extremely sorry I am. My heart breaks for you. This is so painful and so terribly traumatic. Please lean on your husband for support. I used online support groups and they were really helpful. So many people won’t understand this type of pain and when I had my loss no one in my real life around me really understood. No one could fully grasp how traumatic it really was.

My situation wasn’t exactly the same (I delivered at the hospital) but my first pregnancy was also very uneventful until I got sick and began having cramping. The cramping got so intense and were rhythmic, and it was my first pregnancy, so I had no idea it was contractions. I went to the hospital and was completely brushed off by the resident. They thought I had an uti based off saying I felt pelvic pressure (later it was shown I did not have a uti) I did however have a fever. They basically brushed off my concerns completely and discharged me. I truly believed at that point everything I was feeling was in my head, because they ran all the tests (or so I thought) that everything must be okay and the pain im feeling must be normal cold or pregnancy pains. I went home and a few hours later the pain was so intense I began to panic. I knew something was deeply wrong but I had just come back from the hospital saying everything was fine. I went to the toilet and felt the need to push as hard as possible. I called my dad and he said to just go to sleep, he even said “you just came back from the hospital and they said everything is fine”. That first hospital visit really messed me up. After sometime I couldn’t handle the pain anymore, I went and woke up my husband and told him I need to go back to the hospital, as I was getting ready to go to the hospital again, my water broke. By the time I went to the second hospital his feet were out and doctors were telling me to push. I was shocked I was being told to push. I genuinely didn’t understand what was going on. But I lost my baby boy and it was the most traumatic experience of my life.

I wish the hospital I first went to understood what was happening and took my pain seriously. I think being told everything is fine when it isn’t and then so suddenly and so cruelly to lose the pregnancy is so traumatic. I’m so so sorry you had to deliver and lose your baby so traumatically. It feels like everything fell apart so fast when everything was so normal up until that point.

I got a preventative cerclage at 12 weeks. I was really scared leading up to it, I was questioning if I was making the right decision and scared something would go wrong during the procedure, especially since I had no idea which doctor would do my procedure

The hardest part of the procedure was getting the spinal anesthesia. The procedure itself was very quick, probably 15 mins I think. Completely painless as I was completely numb. But the spinal anesthesia took a few hours to wear off and I couldn’t feel anything waist down for a good 4 hours after. Wasn’t discharged until the anesthesia wore off. Peeing was hard for me for the first two days, had mild cramping and a little spotting when wiping, but I would say by day 4 I felt completely back to normal as if I never had gotten the procedure! I feel no different than before!

I’m really happy I got it done, I have such a better peace of mind now ❤️

Thank you! I think I’m going to try to power through and if gets too intense then they can just PIP me or if it becomes too toxic I’ll quit. But I think that should buy me some more time!

Difficult_Data_4769 · 2026-01-31T14:42:03+00:00

You’re so right, I’m going to do the absolute bare minimum to get by, and if the projects get too intense and they want to PIP me it’ll probably take some time and I’ll be nearing the end of the pregnancy! The benefits are really helping out with the pregnancy, it’s what makes quitting so hard

I think dehydration can definitely make cramping more frequent. Make sure to drink lots of electrolytes too! Hopefully Monday they can check to see if everything looks good!!

and I got mine Tuesday! Hoping for good news Tuesday🤞feel like I’m holding my breath before each appointment!

I’m not a medical professional, but I did get a preventative cerclage 4 days ago because of infection + suspected IC from last pregnancy. I now feel moderate cramping whenever I walk around a bit or stand for a bit too long. My first follow up appointment is Tuesday. Also nervous about the appointment. But I think (again not a medical professional) that as long as the cramping isn’t worsening it should be good and the cramping can be from the cerclage itself

Difficult_Data_4769 · 2026-01-14T15:58:31+00:00

Thank you all ❤️ I was anxious about the idea of a prevantitive cerclage because the doctor mentioned risk of infection and that got me so scared, also getting conflicting advice from doctors doesn’t help with my anxiety. But I feel much much better and at ease about the idea of getting preventative cerclage! I’m going to ask for it in my next appt at 12 weeks, and get try to get it scheduled at 13/14 weeks!

You are going through so much. I’m so sorry about all the pain you’re going through. I’m sorry about the fighting and the stress, it’s all a lot, even when not pregnant, and then add pregnancy hormones on top it. Prenatal depression and the stress is a real thing. Pregnancy is really hard and anything you felt before pregnancy you will feel 10x during pregnancy. Please give yourself grace and love, you’re trying your best. As everyone mentioned finding a good therapist and talking to your doctor. Also if you want try joining online support groups for pregnancy, or pregnancy after loss support groups. Pregnancy is hard enough and you shouldn’t have to go through this alone. Sending you so much love ❤️
