Is there hope?

Hi Ladies.

My husband and I have 3 healthy boys together.
All were text book pregnancies, labors & deliveries so when we found out we were expecting baby #4 we were expecting the same stress free pregnancy.

It wasn't the case at all. At our Ultrasound we were told our baby had a bright spot in her bowel and were then sent to Melbourne for further testing. The next week, November 2014, our daughter was born sleeping.

A week before we were due to receive her Autopsy results I found out I was pregnant. Defenetly unplanned as we were only 2 months into our loss.

My hubby and I only gave permission for an external Autopsy and the results came back as inconclusive.
Both mine and my daughters tests came back normal so the Professors were confident it was a one off and I would be able to have a normal healthy pregnancy.

I had regular scans and seen my doctor every week but last week my son's heart stopped beating and he was born sleeping at 20 weeks and 4 days, on his big sisters 7th month anniversary.

I am baffled. I cannot believe this has happened again.
My pregnancy was going really well and my son was SO active and healthy in his scans.

We have given permission for a full autopsy this time but don't receive our results for another 8 weeks.

Has this ever happened to anyone? Has anyone had multiple losses like this but gone on to have a healthy baby?

I can't see myself ever being pregnant again but I know I remember saying this 2 weeks after i lost my daughter..
Maybe I just need a little reassurance. Is there hope for us?
