Well Ella's autopsy was finished just this last week, 5 1/2 months it took, UGH...It had nothing to do with my surgery, she was perfectly healthy, all formed like she should of been and no infections...My doctor is pretty sure it was a cord accident...She had cord torsion, where it grew all twisted and lean cord at the end it was really skinny...He said cord accidents happen, but they are rare and that the chances it will happen to me again are pretty much next to nothing...I'm glad that I know it was nothing I did, or I could of prevented, that makes me feel a little better...I hope once I get past the point of where she died that it will make me feel better about this pregnancy...the autopsy said she died somewhere 18-20 weeks, but I know she was alive at 19w +...Last movement I felt was 20w 3d, so i'm thinking that's when it happend...On to this pregnancy...He had a hard time with the heartbeat again, he said that my placenta is in the front which makes it hard to hear the baby...He gave me a quick ultrasound, I couldn't see much because the glare on the screen, but he said the baby was moving all over the place....he could see the heart beat, but couldn't count it because baby was too active...My blood pressure was still up a little, but he said it's border line...He said they get worried this early when it's up and stays up ,but mine isn't too high right now, so it's something they just want to keep an eye on..Hopefully it won't turn into anything more...I have another appointment on April 2nd...I'm allowed to come in as often as I want...I think I might make my appointments for every 2 weeks after this, at least till I feel better about things...Oh and he also doesn't think that I need to take anxiety medication, which i'm glad about and I trust him more than the other doctor's....I didn't get an ultrasound picture or i'd post it...I should of asked for one
Good news....I'm glad you finally have some answers and can quit blaming yourself (you shouldn't have anyway!). I don't blame you for wanting to wait until you are past the gestation Ella was before you'll start to relax, I would be the same way...in any case I'm glad the new little bean is thriving well and you got to see him/her again.
It sounds like your doc is taking really good care of you and is willing to see you whenever you feel the need. I'm glad you were able to get some answers about your precious Ella.
That is really great that you know there was nothing you could have done. What a relief for you!
It will be very nice for you to get past 20 weeks. I don't blame you for wanting to go in more often to the doctors!!
What 'good' news! I know nothing can take away the hurt of loosing your daughter, but i know it must be a bit of a relief as well to know that it wasn't anything you did....and something very very rare! I'm sooo glad that they are seeing you every 2 weeks and letting you go in when you want and need to! YEAY!! big big HUGS to you!!!
Lots of hugs! Though nothing can comfort the loss you must feel, I am sure it's a great relief to know your surgery wasn't the cause. HUGS! My heart breaks for you!
What a releif, Im so happy for your blessed news. I know it does not take the pain away, but hoping that it gives you some much needed peace and comfort knowing you did nothing to cause her passing. So glad you got to see the blurr of your little one too!

I'm glad that you have answers, and that you can be reassured that you didn't do anything wrong. I'm so sorry about your precious daughter, though.
I hope the next few months fly by for you. It's so nice that your doctor is allowing you to come in as often as you like And Congratulations on a healthy, active little bean!
It's amazing how knowledge gives you closure. I'm glad that you finally got that closure (or are beginning to feel as if you have some closure) and can now rest assure that it was a rare occurrence and nothing you could have done!!
I'm so sorry about Ella, but at least you now know nothing you ever did caused it, it was a very sad accident, and it is just devestating it had to happen to you. (hugs) I suppose it is closure that now you know, and know it won't affect this little one...obviously you are going to worry after everything but carry on being strong you are doing awesome. I hope this pregnancy speeds by and you have this new baby in your arms in September where she or he belongs.
I am glad you found out what happened with Ella. I can't believe how long it took! Good to know that it is rare and you can hopefully sleep a little easier with this pregnancy.
I am glad you got the report back and you can rest easier knowing that there is nothing that you did wrong. In fice more months you are going to have a beautiful healthy baby in your arms
I'm glad that you were able to get some reassurance that it was nothing you did and that the chances of it happening again are next to nothing. It sounds like you have a wonderful doctor and I'm glad they are letting you come in whenever you want. That shows that they truly understand the depth of what you went through and want to be able to give you any reassurance they can that this little bean is active and healthy. I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious angel.
