As of this morning I am no longer a member of the September '15 birth club. I hope to find some comfort here.
Last Tuesday evening, at 9w, I noticed spotting when I went to the bathroom that quickly resolved. Wednesday evening it was back and Thursday morning it had continued. I called my ob, went in for an US and there was baby, kicking away with a HR of 170. Phew. Then Friday the bleeding increased so another US, again healthy with a HR of 168. However this time they noted a small subchorionic hematoma (SCH). My OB assured me she was not overly concerned and it should resolve on its own. Over the weekend I had some mild cramping and passed a few small lots, but I was relieved and thought this must be the SCH resolving. Sunday night I began to have intense cramping and awoke at 2am in unbearable pain. When I went to the bathroom I knew I had lost the pregnancy. A trip to the ED confirmed our fears. Although we're heartbroken, I feel relieved that I'm no longer in fear of what's going on inside my body.
We will be ready to try again as soon as we're medically cleared, but I'm scared this will happen again. According to our checkups, baby was perfectly healthy so far - my body failed her. I'm hoping my OB f/u tomorrow will provide us with insight into our future.
