Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

This post is the last thing I wanted...

What do you do when the heart beat is there no longer ? The baby doesn't look like it should. Do you act tough or curl up in a ball? After the Doppler did not pick up our babies heart beat I balled as the nurse still had to finish the ultra sound. Once I was able to go into the bathroom I crouched down on the floor and there I let it all out. How ? Why? My husband came in and helped me get up and get my clothes put back on. Just a few weeks ago I had heard the heart beat and now nothing. We waiting for the doctor and talked with him and decided on a DNC. The last thing I wanted was to string this all out and have to watch my body get rid of our baby. We left the hospital to return in the morning. I don't remember the car ride home but I do remember getting home and just screaming! Why me?!? Can I have a break?! That night the last thing I wanted to do was sleep even though our baby was not alive I still have her in me and tomorrow she was going to be taken away. I didn't sleep one bit that night. I cleaned did laundry and make some muffins for the people coming with me to my DNC. While on my hands and knees scrubbing the floor I wouldn't get to far before I would bust out in tears. Worst night ever. We went in the next morning for the procedure. I was surrounded by the best people in the world. I didnt even cry until they put me on the table right before I was out. The procedure didn't take long and soon after I was headed home. My stomach was flat again and my heart was empty. This is it. For the last three months I was thrilled to finally be pregnant with a "healthy baby" or so we thought. Weeks went by and the doctor called with the results. That's when I found out our little baby was a girl with only 45 chromosomes, the leading cause in miscarriages.. She was suppose to be in my arms.. Now God has her in his. So here I am a month later trying to move on... I get reminded daily from emails and weekly from mail that I should be pregnant right now. That was not Gods plan though.

  • I'm so sorry :( today my dr called and said to expect to miscarry -empty sac last week and levels are dropping. I was walking down the hallway at my job trying to make it to my office but the sobs came out before I could make it. Surrounded by new coworkers I hardly know and no friends here where I just moved, it is SO hard :( I'm so sorry :( I will probably have a d&c soon too.
