I went through a similar situation, I lost a baby at 20 weeks, not full term, but they called it a stillborn. I got pregnant right after I stopped bleeding from the stillborn. The did ultrasounds on me too and did not see a heartbeat. i waited untill 10 weeks, and there was still no heartbeat. i was diagnosed with a blighted ovum and given a dnc. Blighted ovums are very common, it means the egg was fertilized but never developed. I waited three months and am pregnant again now, everything looking good so far. i hope the best for your situation. I would say wait to make sure there is no heartbeat, sometimes it is hard to see untill later on, especially if you have a tilted uterus. If it turns out to be a blighted ovum, don't worry. I have gone through sevral miscariages, and when the time is right it will happen! Sending good thoughts your way!

How Can I Get Rid of This Yeast Infection?

QUESTION Dear Midwife, I have had a yeast infection throughout my entire pregnancy. My doctor has tested me for STD's and all are negative. He has prescribed metro gel to me. I have used this every few months. I am now on my 32 week and am using this prescription every other week. Is there something stronger I can use or something I can change or do different to help? ANSWER Metrogel will not cure a yeast infection, it's for a bacterial infection and can actually cause a yeast infection. Have you tried Diflucan (the yeast pill)? There are also over the counter yeast preparations and a heavy duty vaginal cream (Terazol) that might be appropriate. If all these fail, borax washes help some women and the yeast can be cultured to see what will kill it. Other things you can do for yourself include eliminating sugars as much as possible (no soda or juices for sure, only two fruits and two dairies per day) and eating more vegetables and proteins.
