New to this board- sad to be here.

Hi ladies- just found out we lost our baby. I'm devastated and angry and so sad. Looking for any support you can spare.

I posted on January 2015 right after you. We found out yesterday. Same thing...baby= yes...heartbeat = no.

D&C scheduled for Friday because we don't want to wait to miscarry.

I'm right there with you sweetheart. Where are you located?

mpiemont · June 2014

D&C likely Friday here too. I'm in Maryland.

I'm very sorry for your loss. There is a "What I wish I knew post D&C" post that was very helpful to me as I prepared for mine two weeks ago.

On Thursday I discovered that my baby didn't have a heartbeat either. After 8 hours of labour I said goodbye to my precious baby! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I came from January 15 as well. I had good betas, 2 ultrasounds, and baby had a heartbeat and was growing on track but I started to hemorrhage at exactly 9 weeks, had the miscarriage confirmed, and an emergency D&C to stop the bleeding. The procedure itself wasn't too bad, kinda wish I had been spared some of the things I got to see. If you can avoid the grizzly part do it.

This is my second loss so my feelings go back and forth. My EDD for baby #1 was Thursday, so I've been a little down.

Also from the jan 15 board, had my D&C on the 13th, feeling almost back to normal physically and emotionally I'm really coming along. The things I wish Id know before a D&C post is awesome. You can PM me if either of you have any more ?s. I'm sooooo sorry for both of you, lots of ((hugs)).

I'm sorry for your loss, like PPs have said, check out the What I wish I knew thread, it's very beneficial.

I am so sorry for your loss.

3 months post d&c for me and it is still emotionally hard. The best thing I can offer is to be kind to yourself. Try not to play the blame game, it is not your fault. Once you feel up to it if you can plan something to do that will make you proud of your body again that helped me. I did a 5k about a month or so post D&C and it was nice to feel proud of my body again.

It sucks, it is hard as hell and this board can be a great source of comfort.

Hugs.

I am so sorry for the loss all of you have experienced.
I had a miscarriage 5 weeks ago when I was 7 weeks, 2 days.
This is the hardest thing I have ever gone through. I am still emotional, with fewer bouts of tears as time passes. I am over the devastating grief at this point, but while I wait for my first period after miscarriage I still feel as if I am waiting to move on. I feel impatient. What a strange feeling.

So sorry for your loss. We had a faint heartbeat at 8 weeks, but baby was measuring 2w behind. Thought the dates could just be off. 1 1/2 weeks later Dr. said heartbeat when I went into ER due to severe bleeding. I already knew it going in, but I went just for them to make sure nothing else was wrong. It's an awful thing to go through. There's nothing that can take away the pain, but the boards were a great help to me.

There may also be support groups in your area - check local hospitals. It really helps to talk to other women that have gone through it. I found that no one else really fully understood and I ended up feeling worse after talking to those who didn't get it.

((hugs))
