We don't quite know what lead to the loss of our twins, and now I worry that the same might happen again. It must have been so strange and scary to be told it was a fluke, and then to have the same thing happen again with Frostina. I'm so glad you have a plan now, and wish you all the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831856940051820911.post-2781187673653342072014-04-16T07:36:02.265+01:002014-04-16T07:36:02.265+01:00I am just glad you got this information in time to...I am just glad you got this information in time to save baby Olea.<br /><br />One of the things that was noted vis-a-vis my first pregnancy was that when I delivered, the doc observed that the placenta had aged prematurely.<br /><br />Second time around, my other doc doubled my aspirin intake. <br /><br />This time too, I am taking two doses of low dose aspirin within a day.St Elsewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074672268757885766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831856940051820911.post-75448774058488075892014-04-15T21:48:39.106+01:002014-04-15T21:48:39.106+01:00I'm sorry this brings back the bad memories fo...I'm sorry this brings back the bad memories for you, but at least you have some answers now and can move forward in a better place for your unborn child. I also have auto immune issues and when I was pregnant had to take blood thinners and get an injection once a week for eight weeks. The fertility clinic made me me do loads of blood tests that's how they picked it up.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00645501856133628248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831856940051820911.post-76509184356979069012014-04-15T20:28:50.756+01:002014-04-15T20:28:50.756+01:00I can relate to this.

I still don't have concrete evidence about why I lost my twins. We think it was an infection that started early labor but no real answers. Because my next son was born without incident I assume the nightmare of their loss was a fluke. I assume. If I were to somehow get pregnant on my own, I know I would ask for the aspirin and progesterone again to be safe. I pray that you have a wonderfully full term, healthy pregnancy with Olea.ADSchillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972164121690415796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831856940051820911.post-11769055899455864642014-04-15T18:35:43.057+01:002014-04-15T18:35:43.057+01:00I think the guilt is something we never escape. My...I think the guilt is something we never escape. My eyes welled up as I read "it's sad to have confirmation that it's my fault" because of course it's NOT your fault. And yet, I understand that feeling. I told a friend last week that getting past viability is good but also scary "Because now if something goes wrong, that's on me." If only I'd been more vigilant, if only I'd been more knowledgeable the first time... and now I KNOW (well, I don't have a definitive explanation, but I know what to watch out for...). So if something goes wrong, it's my fault. (Again.) <br /><br />Glad you have a good doctor and a good plan.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946311309467296976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831856940051820911.post-30526686018137246952014-04-15T15:19:15.181+01:002014-04-15T15:19:15.181+01:00I'm glad that you have an answer and a plan to...I'm glad that you have an answer and a plan to keep Baby Olea safe.dspencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028178955338687090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831856940051820911.post-25934938523293175862014-04-15T14:17:57.016+01:002014-04-15T14:17:57.016+01:00Our stories are hauntingly familiar.

It sucks knowing that your body is the one that caused his death, but, for me at least, I felt a small sense of relief actually knowing the cause of my daughters death.
