[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my FB friends (from high-school) lost her 28week fetus.
I'm 23 weeks pregnant and now totally freaked out. The weird thing is I am more ambivalent than not on this one and part of my fear is that i"ll loose her b/c I don't totally want her all the time and then would feel guilty forever.

How common is fetal loss at 28 weeks?  FB reports no reason for the loss. Just one day movement, next day none.  We are both near 40...could that matter?[/quote]

I'm 34 weeks and still worry about this every day.  Part of me wants this baby out today just so I'll know he's alive and won't just mysteriously die inside me.

One of my best friends and his wife lost their baby at 36 weeks.  No reason...cord wasn't compromised or wrapped; he came out looking perfect and her placenta seemed fresh and healthy.  One night, she didn't feel him and was freaking out. My friend told her she was being a hypochondriac and to go to bed.  She fell asleep but woke up to pee during the night and still didn't feel him.  At daybreak, she went to the hospital and his heartbeat was indeed gone.  I am haunted by their grief pretty much hourly and probably torture my poor baby by ingesting too much cold juice to wake him up and reassure me he's still there.

My OB has never prescribed kick counts, but the Internet tells me its a good idea to do regular kick counts starting at 28 weeks.  Decreases in movement can signal distress and allow them to save a baby before it's too late.[/quote]
