2nd trimester miscarriage and questionsFrom: N. (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 16 Jun 2002 19:50:47 -0500 (CDT)
I just had a miscarriage at almost 17 weeks. I'm devastated to say the least. My first pregnancy ended at 28.5 weeks after PROM at 28 weeks with the birth of a daughter who is healthy and thriving. No cause was determined for the PROM in the first pregnancy. I had an AC separation with bleeding in this most recent pregnancy, but at the last u/s 1.5 weeks ago, things seemed to be resolving well and the baby was growing right on target. When I left the ER this morning, I felt like I hadn't been given any guidance at all. The OB who saw me said to come in for an appointment in 4 weeks, but what do I do in the meantime? Should I be taking any precautions? Bedrest? I also was given 2 rounds of pitocin and my lower abdomen feels battered. Is this normal? I don't remember feeling this way when my first daughter was born. Can I take tylenol to help with the discomfort? He mentioned something about possibly seeing a "fertility doctor" (did he mean an RE?) to see why I've had such problems with both pregnancies - do I wait until my appointment in 4 weeks to wait for another referral or should I go ahead and make an appointment now? I know that I still have a lot of grieving left to do, but maybe if someone here can give me a little guidance on what to do healthwise in the meantime, it might help make this time a little easier on me. Thanks in advance.
