18 Week Miscarriage With Twins
Posted: 11-07-05 14:51pm

My question is simply, I had a colposcopy done at 14 weeks with no biopsy just the vinegar/water solution on my cervix can this cause thinning of the cervix to the point of "spontanious abortion"? I am not getting clear answers. I did not have any problems until two weeks after the colposcopy then spotted, one week later began bleeding with a mucus discharge and then 2 ultrasounds with twins doing normal activity, and lost them 2 days later with both having 140-155 heartrates right up to birth. Is this just bad luck or did this procedure cause this to happen with no action taken by my doctors?

I am not really sure about that, but I am sure if you did some reaserch you could find something.....

I know when I was pregnant with twins I had an u/s done and they were all fine and then after almost getting in a car wreck (almost fliping) and my husbands grandmother dying then the twins were dead, but my I didn't have any signs of me having a misscarriage I was supposue to be 15 weeks but the babys died at 10 weeks so he thought that was weird. But I think it was b/c of all the stress, but with me not showing any signs of a misscarriage is still what gets me......Ok I know I went off subject....Sorry

It cud be the procudures that you had done, all that stress cud have caused you to lose them.
But apart from that studies have shown that most women who have first time multiple pregnancies usually do miscarry. I don't really know why.
I was pregnant witha twin last december and I lost them too ant 11 weeks, and I was so busy planning my daughter's 10 b'day party and just stressing the whole damn day making sure that all was going well, just basically running up and down. I was out of bed from 4:30 that morning and never lied down again until 10 that night. Iplayed every game at the party. When I took my shower I saw this brownish discharge. I knew something had to be wrong becuz I wasn't there the day before or early that morning. I had an ultrascan the next day and they weer fine, went back the following week and they were dead.
I just think that our bodes react to stress and carryin two babies has to be more of a strain on our bodies than one and if they share the same sac or the same cord, as in my case, chances are that if one is affected it will surely take the other one with it.

!St of all I am very sorry to here about all of your losses(sp). Having a colposcopy, an auto accident and your grandmas death and mommie dearest situation is not good both physically and mentally is too much stress. Please do not blame yourself! It is not your fault! Things happen that we have no control of! The man above is taking care of them. I too had miscarriages and I knew I had to move on and I did and had two wonderful children, both grown now.

usually after 12 weeks most "common" reasons for miscarriage have already passed. So viable pregnancy is in much higher percentile by 18 weeks. I believe it could have been the reason. Maybe you could get another opinion from Dr.

I was so pissed when they did the same thing to my daughter--while pregnant, but did do the biopsy --after telling us they wouldnt. I thought baby could die, thank god she didnt.

I would also talk to a lawyer about it if you believe there is negligence with the Dr.

I am so sorry for your losses--no one deserves to go thru that. May god bring joy where sorrow has lived. Bless you honey
