aweful loss
I thought I'd be in the 2u2 club twice but I lost baby #3 yesterday at 11w6d.
**A little graphic, so just be warned before you keep reading**
It was the worst day of my life. Seriously. I have never been in so much pain and I have never had so many hugs from medical professionals telling me how strong I am and I even had a few pray over me. The entire experience was just mind blowing. To not get graphic...I had minor spotting the other week, it kind of stopped, I had a great weekend w/ the kids. Because the dr. didn't hear the baby's heart beat last week he let me go in for an u/s yesterday. I had aweful cramping to the ponit that I thought I'd throw up on our way to the u/s office. Once there I waited 15 min. They called me back & 1/2 way down the hall I hemoraged. I got to the bathroom and everything came out. I wish I could burn the image from my mind. The dr. gave me his scrubs because my pants were ruined. They still did the u/s and got my Dr. on the phone. He wanted me in his office ASAP. I told him on the way (he's just blocks from my house) I was stopping for pants since the scrubs didn't fit and we had to get MIL to pick up the kids. We were home for 3 min. & I hemoraged again. Made it to the dr.'s, fainted, they called an ambulance, the dr. did some proceedure on me to help w/ the bleeding because I was hemoraging AGAIN, he did some extraction that had me screaming in pain. The medics to me to the hospital, I had a bunch of tests run, finally got in a room at 11:30PM and got released this morning. I'm weak from all the blood loss. Through everything I kept hearing "surgery" "transfusion" and my BP was so low I was setting off alarms, at one point my lower number was in the 40's and my upper # was in the 70's.
I am truely grateful to be alive. To be able to hug my kids.
We still do want a 3rd....we plan on having a fun summer w/ the kids and then trying in the fall. I just need to heal. I lost 2 prior to my kids (no where near as dramatic as yesterday, an ectopic and a m/c that was a walk in the park compared to yesterday) and I know the joy of life surpasses the pain from loss....My dr. will do extra monitoring next time around since I'm moved up to a high risk category now.

I'm so so so so sorry for your loss
. What a horrid experience.
Miscarriages can be very traumatic. With my first pregnancy I had a missed m/c and a D&C. A week later I started hemmoraging at work. I went home and the bleeding continued until I finally went to the hospital. It was extremely painful and the bleeding was unbelievable. This was all because of retained tissue from the D&C. I considered myself "lucky" because I was able to avoid a second D&C by being put on methergine. I also was being told a transfusion might be necessary.
Take care of yourself!

No more TTC for us. We are done, and at peace, as a family of 4.

I very sorry for your loss and, what could only be described as, your very traumatizing experience.
I hope your physical recovery is quick. Good luck trying again in the fall.
I'm so sorry for your loss. That sounds terrible. Sending T&Ps your way.
I hope you heal physically quickly and best wishes for the fall.
