After many second trimester losses due to placenta related issues that may have been caught early enough, I fully support any & all attention for the placenta as currently our medical field hardly looks at it.
My first daughter was still born at 28 weeks. It was a normal healthy pregnancy until my wife felt decreased movement. We went to the ER and there was no heartbeat. Her placenta was extremely small. There needs to be more awareness around this in the USA
we lost our beautiful little boy at 36.6 weeks a week before meeting him all because the medical practice didn’t measure his umbilical cord even when i told them repeatedly that he did not move as much as he should all the signs were there we are shattered 😭 this was completely avoidable this should not be happening this day and age with medical technology and all they could say was sorry unfortunately they don’t measure the umbilical cord while it’s usually the placenta that can be result of stillbirths i don’t think people realise it’s also just as very important the cord is checked. As a result of our little
boy growing bigger towards the end of the pregnancy the cord was too short and he got stuck 😔
My son, Ezra, was stillborn on 6.1.2020. His death was preventable, and that will haunt me until the day I die. Please save other families from my fate, and update care standards to include EPV and updated fetal movement guidelines (e.g. Count the Kicks guidelines).
