Stillbirth & Miscarriages are NOT the same! who understands this?

Q: I had a late loss in May this year, 20.1wks gest and by law my son is considered a stillbirth not a miscarriage, he was a viable pregnancy when i had given birth to him, he may not have been alive, but he was STILL born, i went through the same labor process as a women with a 24wk gest. baby who would survive, just not to a living child, and a very much wanted child by the way… i also by law got to have a funeral, get a burial and a birth certificate!For you that dont understand the difference, as im getting sick of my SON being called a miscarriage (yes i knew the sex!!) this is some information for you…If any of you have any more i can add to the list please shareWondering who else understands what im saying??The terms stillbirth and miscarriage can sometimes be confusing. Both refer to the loss of a pregnancy.Many people dont understand the difference between both terms, and why they differ, it can get frustrating and very offending, for someone to call your pregnancy loss a miscarriage or stillbirth, when this is not what it was.Stillbirth:-20+ weeks of a pregnancy/ 400-500gms+ at birth-Water breaks-Going through a labor process-Giving birth-No signs of life at birth-All organs & features of a baby-Baby looks like he/she is asleep-Baby looks like a newborn/ or a small baby-Know the sex of the baby 100% before or after the birth-Birth certificate-Proper Funeral-Proper Burial/Cremation-Family & friends can meet your baby-Hold your baby-Dress your baby-Spend time with your baby-Treated like a newborn-Can have complications with placenta, cord, abnormalities, mother may need surgery to remove placenta because of hemorrhaging-Stillbirth can be prevented with better medical care/monitoring (e.g an emergency c-section for baby to survive)-Not enough awareness as miscarriages-Only “tissue” than can be left after a stillbirth, is parts of the placenta or blood clots.-Can get footprints & handprints done-Pregnancy is 100% noticable-Less likely to occur again in future pregnancies-Can happen during labor & delivery-Little research has/is being doneMiscarriage:-Early stages of pregnancy-Passing of the embryo/fetus/baby (whatever you want to call it)-Can happen without knowledge of pregnancy-Can be mistaken for a period-Cant be prevented-Naturally pass the embryo/fetus/baby-Can have an incomplete miscarriage ( which then leads to removal of any “tissue” that remains in the uterus)-Everyone is educated on miscarriages-Can be due to ectopic pregnancy,Blighted Ovum,Molar pregnancies,chemical pregnancies etc..Miscarriage & Stillbirth: (the similaries)-Pregnancy loss-Upsetting & emotional for families, share the same grief-Recurring miscarriages &/or stillbirths is a sign of more serious problems-Wanted pregnancies-Awareness & support-Happens spontaneously-Similar causesI DID mention in the similarities that they both share the same grief, they both lost a wanted baby, thats the similarities, but it can be offensive if someone calls your baby a m/c if it wasnt that, and i know that earlier than 20wks can go through a labor process, and i BELIEVE that the term stillbirth SHOULD be bought down to less weeks than 20.NO LOSS is more traumatic than the other, they are BOTH TRAUMATIC!! i’m not saying at all one loss is more tragic than the other what im saying is that they are both DIFFERENT situations in what you go through.My son could not be mistaken for a period, would not need a dnc to remove some of his “tissue”, was not passed in a toilet, was bigger than a margarine tub.. 25cms, i’m saying theres a difference in what you go through.You even get people calling full term stillbirths a miscarriage, a few friends of mine has full term babies born stillborn, and people still call them a miscarriage, when clearly they were NOT, they still went through a labor & the same routine, and it upset them and many other women i know going through it, that their babies are being called a m/cIf a m/c was the same as a stillbirth, we wouldnt need the definition or term stillbirth, thats why they have different definitions.

A: First off, accept my condolences for your loss. In working in nursing field, I’ve become well-educated as to the differences and similarities of pregnancy loss. I’ve become well-adjusted to the references, both in my field of study and in personal observations of daily life. So, I can appreciate your willingness to clarify the terms based on what you have not only learned, but have experienced, first hand. Unfortunately, so many young and men today are unfamiliar with the territory of pregnancy in general, let alone the details that can accompany one (miscarriage) and not the other (stillbirth). When the term ‘miscarriage’ is used to refer to the death of an actual stillborn, I make it a respectful point to correct its term and hope the information I’ve given ‘sticks’. However, what I’ve come to realize from my experience, is that many people who have either suffered a stillbirth or talk about someone who has, often knowlingly do use this term (miscarriage) instead in order to avoid the natural curiosity that can invade thier privacy at a time when the natural parents are still grieving so. Of course, as you mention, the loss and the grief for both events is largely felt, even though the names often get confused. Being patient when helping others understand the difference and bringing about awareness and support to those who have and those who will suffer through this is about the best that any experienced and knowledgeable person can do, so thank you:) God bless

Family History of Miscarriages?

Q: So I just suffered at miscarriage with my first child and I started reading some books to help with the pain. After reading for awhile, I realized that every female in my family that has had a child, has also suffered a miscarriage. While I know that miscarriages are common, are they so common, that every female that has had a child in my immediate and extended family (I have a very large extended family) would all suffer a miscarriage??? Or could this be the result of some hereditary/genetic disease/disorder/problem????Please help, I could really use some help with figuring out what happened with my baby.BTW I miscarried at ten weeks.I know that miscarriages aren’t hereditary, I’m asking if I could have a hereditary/genetic problem that is causing the miscarriages.I plan on talking to by OB about this, but I don’t see her for another three weeks.And please, don’t tell me the statistics of miscarriage, I already know the statistics. Don’t tell me that miscarriage is common, because again, I know that too. Also, don’t tell me that every or almost every female will have a miscarriage sometime in her life, because I know a ton of people that have never had a miscarriage and all of them had normal pregnancies. Please just tell me if you know of any hereditary/genetic problems that can lead to miscarriage.

A: Yes, there are several genetic/hereditary problems that can lead to miscarriage. For one, there is Trisomy 13, among the genetic characteristics for this disease is the fact that the woman cannot carry male children, and she will miscarry every time. I would suggest talking to your OB about getting genetic counseling for yourself and your husband/boyfriend/fiance, that way you can find out exactly what is wrong. Good luck, and I wish you and your husband/boyfriend/fiance the best!!!

uterus fibroids?

Q: I am 5 weeks pregnant, and diagnosed with 3 fibroids which are 15mm, 17 mm and 11mm. A 4.5 x 4.3 cms heterogenons SoL is seen towared right adneral region.Kindly advise if my pregnancy is safe? what measures shall i take to keep my pregnancy? What will be post-pregnancy treatment to remove these fibroids? Can these fibroids cause problem during pregnancy and lead to miscarriage or some other kind of damage to me or my child?My age is 29, my periods were normal with 25 days cycle

A: Hi there I too have been suffering from fibroids so much so I was told I may not be able to have children haha, My daughter will turn 10 months day after tomorrow.We beat the odds. I had no real problems from them during pregnancy I was however considered high risk so you may need to see a high risk OBGYN to care for you during your pregnancy.She was wonderful , answered all my concerns and she did a lot of ultrasounds . I had one large one that may have contributed to my daughter being breech and me having to have a c-section. I don’t want to frighten you but there are several complications that could occur during pregnancy so see a specialist and trust your gut, I switched doctors at around 5 months because my first doctor was so arrogant in not addressing my concerns . If you feel your doctor does not give you the answers you need and make you feel safe and comfortable you have every right to switch to one that will. Delivery with fibroids can be dangerous because they can weaken the uterine wall causing rupture. So you should definitely be prepared to have a C-section if necessary. In the end the only thing that matters is you and your childs safety not how they arrive in the world just that you are OK.Take Care and I hope I helped someGood Luck with the Pregnancy.oh ps with the fibroids my doctor reccomends that I wait 1 year until I try again to get pregnant I have my fibroids monitored every 6 months. But sometimes pregnancy can kill themby cutting off the blood supply .
