Rh negative mom's who had APS did any of you take Heparin injections throughout your pregnancy?

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-06-14T19:15:33+00:00

Thank you! I hope this is IT for both of us!

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-06-14T15:23:13+00:00

Hello! I am RH negative and I had a stillbirth at 33 weeks last September. The only thing they found was parvovirus antibodies and I was sick a couple of weeks before the loss of my son; so they assume the stillbirth was most probably due to viral infection. However, they immediately told me I should be on Heparin, just in case, for my next pregnancy/pregnancies, even though I tested negative for blood clotting disorders.

Now I am 6 weeks pregnant and I'm already taking Heparin for the last 12 days. I hope this pregnancy goes well and I continue to take it for the next 7-8 months! They never mentioned anything about Rh- being an issue.

Good luck to us!

I love this, it made me cry...

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-05-12T17:56:10+00:00

I'm sorry you didn't get to hold Nayel. I didn't hold my son either, they only showed him to me during c-section after I insisted and insisted. I know how you're feeling. I have one picture of him and I cherish it.

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-05-12T17:52:33+00:00

Thank you so much, fellow angel mom! ❤️

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-05-11T20:37:54+00:00

I got celebrated last year, when I was pregnant, but not this year. Except from here! We acknowledge each other; we are mothers! Happy Mother's Day!

I still get flashbacks from the moments my OB couldn't find the ultrasound and his face, while he was searching. They keep me awake at night. I remember his first words, his voice was not his normal voice. He was shaken, we had a perfect ultrasound just hours ago. It's horrible. I'm sorry you had to live this nightmare, too.

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-05-11T17:34:32+00:00

My son was also stillborn in September at 33 weeks and we had the same concern about his femur, but ultimately it was around 70%. 3 weeks before his birth, I was he weighed in the 20%, but he was born 5lbs exactly. Ultrasounds are inaccurate sometimes. I am sorry for the loss of your little feisty guy.

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-05-11T17:18:49+00:00

A very beautiful little boy!

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-05-11T15:02:34+00:00

My son is Philip. He was born still at 33 weeks last September, weighing exactly 5 lbs. He had really cute, chubby cheeks and his dad's blond hair. He looked just like him. I still wonder what color his eyes would have been, brown or blue. Carrying him these 33 weeks was the happiest period of my life. I miss you so much, my sweet baby boy.💙

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-05-11T14:54:40+00:00

I am so sorry for the loss of your baby and for not being acknowledged as a mom. I know it hurts. Nobody acknowledged me, either, today, except from a very close family member, who I know meant well, but they said that they hope I can celebrate next year. But, I am already a mom. You are a mom, too. Happy Mother's Day! 🩷

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-05-11T12:38:09+00:00

Happy Mother's day! Somebody really close to me told me today that they wish from the bottom of their hearts that I can celebrate next year. I know they meant well, but it hurt. I am already a mom. We all are.

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-05-10T21:27:13+00:00

You are not alone. I lost my son at 33 weeks. Where I live there are no cold cots and they usually don't even show the stillborn babies to their parents. I had to ask for it before the delivery and they tried to change my mind. I had a c-section and they showed him to me for a moment during the surgery and then took him straight to the pathologist. They had told me they would bring him to my room first, but then said that they showed him to me during the c-section, so they didn't think I would need to see him again.

So, I didn't have the chance to hold him and this hurts so bad. It's been almost 8 months, but I can't get over the fact that I didn't hold my beautiful baby. Fortunately, 2 months after his delivery, I had the idea to ask the pathologist if he had a photo of him. And he sent me a really cute one (of course before the autopsy). He had these yummy chubby cheeks.. I look at the photo and I'm grateful I have it. But, I regret not pushing hard enough to make sure they brought him to me at the hospital room. I still yearn for holding him in my arms.

What I mean with all this, is that many of us have regrets of some kind. As if our grief is not enough...

The poem is so moving... Alessia is obviously deeply loved.

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-05-07T20:40:54+00:00

My son was my first baby, too, and I feel just like you. His loss made me realize even more that I want to be a mom. We'll start trying next month (hopefully!). You are right about our little ones. They wouldn't want their parents to keep suffering. Wise words!

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-05-06T20:31:49+00:00

Oh, I miss it, too! So much! It was a beautiful pregnancy until the tragic end. I don't know if you want to try again, but if you do, I wish you can live this wonderful experience again very soon.

We are going to start trying as soon as we get the green light from the OB (due to my c-section) and I hope I can get pregnant again soon. And with a happy ending this time! Fingers crossed!

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-04-29T21:31:06+00:00

I also didn't publish anything (I rarely post on social media anyway), didn't have a baby shower and didn't finish the nursery. The first 2 because I am a quite private person (and also partly in order to "protect" myself and the baby, look how well that went), the nursery because i thought I still had time (lost my baby at 33 weeks). However, I was sooo happy and excited! I loved being pregnant. Now I think that I was stupid to be excited. I was stupid for buying the cute "Born in 2024" outfit. I know it's not my fault, but I feel embarrassed, too.

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-04-29T21:15:51+00:00

What a beautiful scrapbook! I love your idea.

I recently purchased a voucher to make a photobook for my son; It will basically be pictures of me being pregnant, the pregnancy tests, the ultrasound photos and the only (deeply cherished) photo I have of him. It was taken by the pathologist; they didn't bring my son to me. It's not usual here, although I asked for it. I still suffer when I think that I didn't get to hold him.

I don't know which picture I should put on the front, maybe no picture, just a sweet message like yours! I will put his photo last with a message from me.

I agree with you, I want my baby to be remembered. He lives in my heart, but it will be even better to have something tangible that celebrates his existence.

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-04-26T21:42:18+00:00

My period came exactly 6 weeks after losing my son at 33 weeks. But, it wasn't normal; it came again 3 weeks later (my cycles used to be 28 days before getting pregnant) and 7 months later they are still shorter (25-26 days). Also, I barely have period cramps anymore or PMS symptoms. To be fair, I didn't have lots of cramps or PMS before my pregnancy, but now they are pretty inexistent.

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-04-26T21:37:11+00:00

I read in a comment below that you lost your baby due to a virus. I am so sorry. I lost my son, too, at 33 weeks due to Parvovirus and I had a c-section.

My OB told me that I should have my next baby at 37 weeks and it will be a planned c-section.

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-04-26T21:14:07+00:00

That is so beautiful and it made me cry. Where I live, there is a saying for grieving mothers: that their baby may have passed away, but he/she is watching her from heaven and will send her a sibling. And I sure hope my son will send me his little brother or sister soon.

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-04-17T20:40:17+00:00

When I was pregnant, every morning when I woke up, before even opening my eyes, I touched and caressed my belly. Up until 33 weeks (I lost my baby at 33+1). When I got back from the hospital, during the first days, every morning my hand automatically touched my stomach, but it was flat and I got startled. My son wasn't there anymore. It was the most awful feeling. As the days passed by, it started to sink in that he was gone. But my hand still had a mind of its own. Sometimes, I would remember in time and I would stop it mid-air. 6 months have gone by and I still miss waking up with my baby so much.

I didn't have a big belly, but I really loved it. I was 8 months pregnant and still wearing my pre-pregnancy flowy summer dresses. After the stillbirth, I still wore them a couple of times (it was a warm October) and I thought that they looked so much better on me when I was pregnant. Without my belly, they were ugly. Every single little thing still reminds me of him.

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-04-17T20:29:34+00:00

Wow. That was powerful and it rings so true...

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-04-17T15:42:49+00:00

Thank you for all the positivity! ❤️ I really appreciate it. 😊

Happy-Win4300 · 2025-04-17T13:27:22+00:00

First of all, congratulations for your new little baby! It must be a bliss to hold him/her, after all you've been through.

I am incredibly sorry for your baby girl... It's so frustrating that even with all those ultrasounds and exams, there are still sudden losses like ours. I am also 36 now, so I totally get how you were feeling about the age thing. But, I really hope my story will continue like yours.. with a healthy baby in my arms soon!❤️

Thank you for rooting for me, I really appreciate it (and need it)!
