Hi,
Recently joined and looks like it' s a great site for everything a person would like to know about parenting, including a vast pool of knowledge and experience on Pregnancy.

Here I' m looking for some help and advice in our case (I' m sure, not very rare). We have recently lost our child b' coz of miscarriage around completion of 16th week, not sure what' s the reason behind this unfortunate event.
But my wife was diagnosed with low-lying placenta (Placenta Pravia) during first trimester and around 15th week our Gyno informed us of Cervical incompetency. MacDonald cerclage was performed on her immediately and were told, now there is no chance of baby coming out and shouldn' t worry. But after 10 days only of this operation, she had a miscarriage and we lost our baby. Our gyno told us after doing D&C, that there was no water left in the sac. Not sure what had happened and why. As she was on complete bed rest as advised.

Having said that, I don' t want to take any chance in the second pregnancy (like any other parent).

Please let me know if any one of you has experienced something similar but with happy ending :), and would like to know of an experienced senior gyno having good experience in complicated cases like this anywhere in Bangalore or Delhi(or NCR Region).
Appreciate your help and concerns!! asha replied. hi amit,im a new joinee.i lost my baby at 21 week of pregnancy,i can understand what you r going through at that time.Even in my case Gyno said suture or stiches need to be given in next pregnancy,so I am very much worried what to do,i would appreciate if you suggest some experience ie which doctor you consults in your next pregnancy I am in Bangalore,how is your' s wife' s next pregnancy gone?are sutures and bed rest can carries pregnancy till end,apart from suture some medicines or injections also given etc.

amit ..
loss at any stage is loss and cannot be compensated ..i lost my 1st baby at term ..due uncontrolled diabetes and other complication ..we r at our wits end bt we had a good doc behind us thne and aftr 9mnths i conceivd again and had a healthy baby who is now 3yrs ..
1st thing dont loose hope its a battle which u both have to win ...
low lying placenta is fairly a common phenomena and its case of repeating again is 50-50...
i would suggest u wait fr 6mnths and come to term fr this loss and take some break from all this
mostly why miscaariages happen and still birth happens no one knows ..may b its nature way of keeping in the balance of survival of the fittest
u can visit dr.praveena shenoi she sits in manipal alos has private clinic ..and she is a high risk spclty
u can find in all her dtl on the net
