Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 I also have had 2 miscarriages, but am thought to be free of mito and am relatively healthy. LOL My oldest daughter (8yo) is healthy, followed by first miscarriage at 9 weeks, second miscarriage at 19 weeks(we did do chromosome studies this time, came back totally normal 46 X,Y), then came Gracie, 3yo, (with who knows what kind of something going on), and then 13 months later came Matty (Pearsons syndrome and Kearns-Sayre syndrome). Sorry a little late in responding to this thread. I also had 2 miscarriages. My son Jake will be 8 in April and now undergoing extrensive work-up do the the fact that they think he may be mildly effected with the same mito disorder as Clayton. After Jake I got pregnant when he was 9 months old. I lost that baby at 26 weeks - due to a placental abruption - she was stillborn. I am told that she was healthy - or at least no chromosomal damage. After the fact I was found to have a high ANA and anticardio lipobodies (I think that is the name) and thus with my next pregnancy - the twins I was on heparin, baby aspirin and predisone. Well actually between the twins and Jake - and very early - before I started the regimn above - I lost one at 6 weeks. They do not know why. After that I carried the twins to 34 weeks - but very difficult pregnancy - and also they did see lots of problems with clayton throughout the whole pregnancy. Well Clayton was diagnosed with mito - complex I in April of 1999 and now we are having a work up on Jake. Clayton's twin Cole seems to be ok.

I had endometriosis, diagnosed at 19 years old. I had an ovarian cystectomy in 1994 and after one month of pergonal I became pregnant. I had a partial placenta abruption at 33 weeks with Nolan and delivered him at 35 weeks weighing 6 lbs 9oz. I am wondering if any of these signs were early signs of mito. Additionally, Nolan was hypoglycemic and jaundiced (9 days under lights), at 5 weeks had bronchiolitis and at 3 months had severe colitis.

Additionally, Nolan was hypoglycemic and jaundiced (9 days under lights), at 5 weeks had bronchiolitis and at 3 months had severe colitis. I also needed pergonal to become pregnant with the twins - this is after Jake and after the stillborn and the miscarriage. I could then not get pregnant- but after one month on perganol I got pregnant with twins - VERY HIGH RISK. I also had endrometriosis and also had to have my left ovary removed after the twins as I had a pound and a half ovarian cyst and that needed to be removed and crushed my ovary. Twns were born at 34 weeks - clay was 4.4 and cole 5.5. Clay initially had problems maintaining his body temop and was also hypoglycemic and slightly jaundiced. He aspirated at 6 days due to reflux and was placed on a monitor. As for me I had to have my gall bladder removed 8 weeks after the twins. I am now remarried and thinking of having one more child - but obviously I am scared. Love, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 It's my understanding that if the foetus get a lot of the bad mitochondrias, it can't live, and the result is miscarrige. I've had one, my mother had one, my maternal grandmother had several ...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2001 Report Share Posted February 16, 2001 dr tick, the doctor who diagnosed my sister and me, did not say anything about miscarriages and premature babies being related to miscariages. But it is my own feeling that they are. They also run in my family with my maternal grandmother having at least one we know of. My aunt we know had one stillborn baby, my mother had one. I myself was also premature but i do not know how early. My sister's first baby was born at 24 weeks or so, lived one hour. Her second was born at 29 weeks. She also had a miscarriage in between there. I was fortunate. My son was born a month early because we decided to induce as there was not enough fluid around him and i was diabetic. If you are thin may have something to do with it also. Or, like someone else said, if the mitochondria are very bad, it is the bodies way of not bringing that baby into the world.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2001 Report Share Posted February 16, 2001 Thanks to everyone thats commented on this possible connection...it really has helped. My sister is going to be able to travel with me and the kids to see Dr Cohen at the end of this month (10 days and counting) so it will be interesting to see if he has any comments on it while we are there. I promise to let you all know if he has anything to say about it!!!! I also wanted to offer my condolences for your losses. I have never been through the pain of a miscarraige, so can only imagine how difficult it is to get through, and talk about even a while after the fact. So your willingness to share this with me has meant a great deal to me and I am deeply appreciative of your openess here. BIG hugs, Kass, mom to Chance(7 1/2) and Madison(4)...both suspected mito, seeing Dr. Cohen on the 26th, and Abby(3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
