Heartbroken...

brithil · December 2011

DH & I went to a routine u/s Monday afternoon hoping for a healthy babe with a heartbeat to share the good news with our families at Christmas. We instead found out our baby had passed away about a week and a half prior. My OB said that we could wait to see if I would miscarry on my own, but did not feel confident that would happen. We decided to start misoprostol Monday night to encourage the process. I woke up with chills and fever during the night and next morning. My OB was concerned about a uterine infection and rushed me in for an emergency D&C on Tuesday (DH's birthday). We are both stunned and heartbroken. I know that it wasn't meant to be, but it doesn't make it any easier. I never realized how difficult this would be. I was only 7 & 1/2 weeks along but I still feel as though I lost a baby. I can't even begin to imagine what Illingal went through.

I may not be around much for a little while. Thank you for your encouragement through everything. I wish you all the best, and a Merry Christmas.

Huge hugs. I'm so sorry for your loss. When I saw the title of your post, I dreaded opening it. Please take time for you and your Dh to heal and I wish you much success in the new year.

Oh Brit, I'm so heartbroken for you. I hated to open this post too; I cannot imagine what you're going through. Please take care of yourself and know that it's okay to grieve in whatever way you feel is right. I totally understand if you need some time away but i hope you are back with us soon. I'll be thinking about you.
