Question

Anyone experience a second trimester loss due to a cord accident?

Hi all. I was just curious if anyone else has lost their baby in the second trimester to a cord accident? In February of 2016, I lost my baby after finding out he didn't have a heartbeat at the anatomy ultrasound. Later, after delivery, we found that our baby had the cord wrapped around his neck twice very tightly.

I have been feeling kind of alone with this and no answers as to why this occurred. It just seems so rare and unusual that a cord accident could occur early in the second trimester.

I don't have a story to share, just want to say that I am so sorry for your loss. You are allowed to get upset and mourn the life that was. I hope that you find some peace and that you do get to hold a baby in your arms soon. xx

My situation sounds very similar. My son had no heartbeat in 2nd tri. After he was born we found the cord wrapped around his neck 4 times. I have already had a stillborn prior for a totally different reason. I didn't even know this could happen this early on! I am so very sorry for your loss and grieve with you.
