[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister lost her baby days before her due date. I would heed all of my doctor’s advice on reducing the risk of stillbirth without second thought. I will do everything in my power to avoid such a devastating outcome. [/quote]

The only OB I would trust is the high risk specialist/perinatologist. I trusted a regular OB, and they failed to properly diagnose my bleedings post 12 weeks leading to stillbirth at 23 weeks. We switched to a different OB group, and they scared us into a C-section at exactly 39 weeks (oh, the scan is in normal range, but I don't feel comfortable with it. You need to have a C-section tonight or risking a stillbirth like your previous baby).

Our last baby with a high risk group was our most reassured pregnancy.

That’s what I’m personally doing. But I’d follow every evidence-based stillbirth recommendation that exists.

My sister never got a cause of death even after a fetal autopsy and sending tissue samples to Yale for analysis. The placenta ended up being on the smaller side, which unfortunately appears to support that an induction a week earlier could have prevented the death. [/quote]
