3rd Trimester

If your baby is lost during the third trimester, usually the loss was diagnosed via ultrasound or a routine heartbeat check. Sometimes, if a placental abruption occurred, you may have had heavy bleeding that let you know something was wrong.

Your only option at this point is an induction and stillbirth. You will be admitted to the hospital and given a drug called Pitocin to start contractions. Usually you will also be given a very strong round of pain medication and an epidural to avoid pain during the labor and delivery. The induction may only take a few hours, or can take as long as two days if your body resists the early labor. This can go smoothly or become a nightmare. It will take all your courage and strength to get through it.
