Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I just recently lost my son while I was 23 weeks pregnant. I hadn t felt him move so I went to the doctor and found out there was no heartbeat. When he was born he looked absolutely perfect. What s even more upsetting is that I was in to see a specialist 3 weeks earlier and they said according to the u/s that he was a very healthy little boy. How and why is my son gone 3 weeks later?
Mom can be a smoker, alcohol, overweight, African-American, have diabetes. Many times the cause of a stillbirth infant is unknown. Most women become pregnant again, have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
You may wish to contact a group of other women who have also lost a baby.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
