Hello everyone,
I am just so sad right now...I have read through some past posts and its really nice that this message board is here for support...I found out a month ago that I was pregnant...I had an ultrasound done to confirm and seeing my babys heart beat at 6 weeks old was just so amazing...this was a VERY unplanned pregnancy...but as soon as i accepted that this was something that i wanted, i became sooooo excited to become a mother! So, this week, at 10 weeks pregnant, I started to bleed a little...I became very scared and went to the hospital. There they did an ultrasound and my worst fears were confirmed...no heart beat.... my baby had stopped developing at 8 weeks (so 2 weeks ago)...the dr suggested i wait and let nature take its course since i had already started bleeding....yesterday i began to miscarry....most of the posts i read were of women who had a d&c...anyone who didnt have a d&c- how long did you bleed for? The pain is so unbearable at times... i called the dr to see if they could prescribe me something as the alleve and advil had done nothing to stop the pain....the bleeding was scary in itself, but i felt i could manage with that if the pain would just stop....they were less than helpful over the phone-told me i could take extra strength tylenol or go to the ER.... worst part is that i am loosing my baby and they were less than compassionate with me
This whole process is just so awful...one day i am super excited about being a mother- reading every book, magazine, and website....and the next i learn i wont be a mother anymore.... that my baby has died...i am still in such shock over it all....it just happened so fast and so sudden....the emotional pain is hard enough....then add on the physical pain of the actual miscarriage.... i am now wishing i asked for a d&c at the hospital....its just so hard learning that you are going to loose your baby and then actually having to watch the process...i am just in shock that women go through this all the time...hands down this is the worst thing i have had to go through....and then today i was going through some things and came accross the baby clothes i had bought for my baby.... i just broke down in tears... there was suppposed to be a baby wearing those clothes
I just held the clothes and cried cried cried.... i feel like all i want now is to get pregnant again and if that were possible right now this
would be a little easier on me...but like i said, this pregnancy wasnt planned...my boyfriend didnt want the baby but supported my decision to keep it... so
there will be no re-trying to get pregnant for me...at least not now... and i have no idea when....im sure some day i will be able to try again....but that
doesnt make me feel any better at all right now.....
sorry this was so long.... thanks for letting me ramble.....
