Pregnant again after baby died from hypercoiled cord + marginal placenta insertion
Our firstborn, our Lily, was born sleeping at 35 weeks last November 2025. She died due to lack of oxygen from a long hypercoiled cord and a marginal placenta insertion (her cord was attached on the side of the placenta rather than the centre). She was otherwise a perfectly healthy baby.
I am now pregnant with her little sibling. I just want to hear from other parents who had something similar happen with their angel baby's cord and/or placenta and are now pregnant/have given birth - how are you now? How have you overcome the anxiety? Have you given birth to a healthy baby?
The cord and placenta insertion circumstance is completely random and apparently can happen to anyone. The medical professionals and my own personal research all say there was absolutely nothing I could have done to prevent it. It "just happens" and sadly it happened to us. To our firstborn child.
Now I am filled with fear and anxiety. I'm hoping hearing from some of you will somewhat ease a bit of that fear and anxiety.
Thank you in advance.
