Blighted Ovum & Miscarriage

In this video I hope to give Information, hope from my experience, & encouragment. GOD BLESS.

Information from the American Pregnancy Association's Website:
A blighted ovum (also known as "anembryonic pregnancy") happens when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine wall, but the embryo does not develop. Cells develop to form the pregnancy sac, but not the embryo itself. A blighted ovum usually occurs within the first trimester before a woman knows she is pregnant. A high level of chromosome abnormalities usually causes a woman's body to naturally miscarry.

A woman's body recognizes abnormal chromosomes in a fetus and naturally does not try to continue the pregnancy because the fetus will not develop into a normal, healthy baby.
This is a decision only you can make for yourself. Most doctors do not recommend a D&C for an early pregnancy loss. It is believed that a woman's body is capable of passing tissue on its own and there is no need for an invasive surgical procedure with a risk of complications.

Hi Chloe! I recently had a blighted ovum as well, it was my first pregnancy and I also passed it naturally at the hospital. 3 weeks later I'm still spotting and there is a weird scent from my vagina. The spotting is light and brown, where I don't even need to wear a pad. Have u experienced the scent I am talking about. Even thru showers I can still smell it :(

@milkchoco2007 HI! I'm sorry 2 hear about your loss. Yes I had a strange scent which I think may be the same scent you're having. Since I miscarried at home, I actually smelled it as I was trying 2 deal w/ all the blood (changing my pad a lot & blood pouring out into the toliet). It was like a raw blood/fleshy smell. For about 3 weeks, no one else could smell it but me (when I went 2 the bathroom). It subsided, but returned when I started my menstral cycle again 2 months later. Now its gone.

@menikbagus Oh dear I'm so sorry to hear about your recent experience. While I can't give you any medical advice because I'm not a doctor, what I can say is that your body will take a few months to get back on track & will heal. I hope you are able to get preganant again & have a healthy baby soon; God's Will be done in your life! I'm glad my video helped you in some way. =)

I agree, it's worse than giving birth. I have a blighted ovum and passed it naturally. Worse pain ever. I had a healthly pregnancy in 2010. Just had another pregnancy that stopped growing at 7 weeks. I did choose the D & C this time. becasue it was way too painfull to do it naturally again. I just had the d&C on Sat. So I'm still suffering emotionally pretty bad right now. Are you guys trying again?

[prettycarmencurls]

Thanks so much for sharing, I miscarried at 5 weeks naturally. I actually thought I wasn't miscarrying because my obgyn told me my cervix is closed and my hcg levels were 226 so I was confirmed pregnant however my doctor did not order more blood test 2 days later to see if my hcg levels were going up or down. He also told me that any bleeding is not normal and I read a lot about bleeding so I was hopeful and praying but the end result was I miscarried.  I had low back pain and cramping.

@melanievia Thanks for the support! I figured my story could help somebody who's experiencing the same thing.

Thank you for sharing something very personal with use. I had not heard of blighted ovum, but found your video full of information for awareness.
