Mindi - I too am so sorry to hear about your loss. My dear Devan Christopher
was born into eternity 3/29/04. I was 31 weeks - he weighed 4lbs, 6 oz. I saw
a doctor 2 days before, had my baby shower the evening before and had no
bleeding, just cramping when my husband drove me to the hospital to find out I
had lost my son. I was not a drug user, did not have high blood pressure and
had no history of abruptions in my family. I was bleeding so much internally
that they almost lost me too. I am not 14 weeks pregnant and have a new doctor
who gave me many many blood tests to check for blood clotting disorders, etc.
Although I am really frightened, I know I can only pray and try to trust these
new doctors to take my care seriously.

I found this group very helpful as I sent through the grieving proess,
considered sueing my old doctors and knowing how to talk to my oldest son about
losing his little brother. I encourage you to ask this group as many questions
as you can think of. Feel free to email anytime.

Hey...I have suffered from placenta abruption almost 12 weeks ago. I
was 34 weeks a long and it was terrible. My son weighed 4lbs. 8ozs.
and he was perfect other than that. It was just shocking to me because
I had never even heard of this disorder. I was just in pain and then
began to bleed. At that point the abruption had already taken place
and my sweet little boy was already gone. I also had gone to the
doctor just 16 hours earlier and he said everything was fine. I
noticed the heart rate being 10 points lower than it normally had been
but the doctor said it was normal. My doctor was very shocked
too...because I hadn't shown any complications so far and also he had
told me everything was fine. I really don't know what else to say
other than I would love to hear other people's experiances...so please
write me and let me know what has happened to you all...that is the
whole reason I joined..for support. Hope to hear from you all
soon!
