So our PM results showed placental insufficiency, his brain was five times the size of his liver suggesting the placenta had been failing for some time. Why did I not know this... I was always worried he was not as active as he should be but every time I had a midwife appt he seemed to pick up.. He never had a pattern some weeks he was active in the day some at night.. He had reduced movements one night so I went into triage and he was fine and began moving lots so I was reassured so the next time he was quiet I thought oh it's just his quiet day!! I thought when he was quiet he was having a growth spurt because I often felt hungry too. I know I was conscious of his movements but what if it was abnormal, being my first pregnancy I just didn't know what was normal and everyone said all babies are different. He stopped kicking around 30 something weeks but everyone said they kick less as they get bigger as less room but he was small so maybe that was a sign that I should have mentioned.. If only I had booked a private scan or just mentioned my worries to the midwife, if he had just been scanned he might be here now, or would he if it had been going on so long? Would his organs be less developed? Therefore would he had struggled to survive? Even though we have answers now it's opened up more for me. After 4 years and our miracle dies I have lost all faith in TTC and I can't help feeling I have more heartache to come. The consultant said I will be closely monitored and go onto aspirin etc but I will still be so anxious after having little/no warning signs! The consultant also said that ivf babies are more likely to have placenta issues and we have an embryo in storage and we were going to go for embryo transfer after pm results but she said we should try naturally first as more fertile after birth and less issues likely, but I just feel so desperate to be pregnant again but then if we have issues I will regret not trying naturally first.. But I just have no faith in my body and I find the whole process and pressure so tough, thinking of trying naturally this month and embryo transfer next month.. Feel so confused and sad tonight.
Anyone else have placental insufficiency ? With little warning signs ?
