Umbilical Cord Accident
Posted: 11-10-05 08:42am

In my first and only pregnancy thus far-as I have mentioned before I lost joseph at five months and that was about 4 months ago now. Baby and I were both healthy and I had no complications other than he tangled his umbilical cord around his neck and died b/c of that.

Has this happened to anyone else???

Worried about it happening again, although I know it is rare.

Ttc again.

Thanks, I guess I am just hoping to find someone who has gone thru the same thing. Although any loss is devastating no matter what the reason.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, lilypad. I've never had that happen to me but I have had a miscarriage and I know how hurtful it can be.

With my last pregnancy, I freaked out all the time because I was scared of having another miscarriage. Everything turned out to be fine and I gave birth to a beautiful boy. In the middle of pushing, though, the dr had to stop me 3 times!!! The umbilical cord had gone down the front of my son, through his legs, up his back and wrapped around his neck twice!!! He must have been doing gymnastics!! Lol.

I'm sure the chances of it happening again are slim to none. I wish you all the best :-)

Lily

I just wanted to say that my heart goes out to you, I am ttc and on clomid right now so my emotions are a little nuts, but your story really broke my heart. Whenever you think you have it as bad as you could, someone else comes along and has gone through things you can't even imagine...Take care and good luck...You must be a very strong woman.

All kinds of baby dust your way girl

Hoe long have you been on clomid? Someone I work with has a friend who took clomis and is having triplets. Were you ttc for more than a year before you were given it?

Clomid
Posted: 11-14-05 16:19pm

This is my first cycle on clomid, and we have only been trying for 4 months. However, the reason we are trying is because in july I had a laparoscopy that diagnosed me with stage 2 endometriosis, and I may not have long to conceive if I even can at all. So the clomid is just to help me get pregnant as fast as possible, and if I have more than one I will be happy and somehow find a way to pay for daycare! :)

i have a good friend who finally got preg on the 5th cycle on the highest dose of clomid, and she only has one healthy baby.

Who knows, things are different for each person.

Good luck with everything
