Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Today's Dr. Visit
What a terrible terrible day.
This was going to be ouor first child. I was 7 1/2 weeks into our first pregnancy. Yesterday I had some dark brown spotting and I tried not to worry to much about it but called my ob/gyn just in case. The nurse said that it wasn't active bleeding since there was no bright red blood and to rest and take it easy. Later that night it became bright red and I passed a few large clots at once, the combined size would be near a golf ball. I called the on-call dr and he said to stay off of my feet and go to the ER if it bacame heavy. It never really did become heavy or painful so I TRIED to sleep through the nigh. The next moring I called my normal dr back and they had me come in right away. The vaginal ultra sound showed that there was no embryo inside. I have no idea how long we stayed in that room crying and holding each other. Eventually a nurse came to check on us. They needed to draw some of my blood. They were kind enough to send the woman to our room to draw the blood and to let us exit out the back door so we wouldn't have to go throught the waiting room.
Tomorrow at work will be so misserable for me. I work with babies 0-3 yrs old and I really don't care to be around any children right now. However, I have monthly deadlines to meet and I need to be at work tomorrow since I took today off and will be off on Friday.
We tried for 1yr to get pregnant and I was starting to think that we were infertile until the pregnancy happened. I was even more excited that it was going to be a summer baby because that's one thing I really wanted. We'll just have to try again in two months.

Re: Today's Dr. Visit
I am so sorry for your loss!! I understand I understand how you feel about working with kids, I also work with babies and older kids and ended up working on the same day we had the m/c confirmed. I found that it wasn't as hard as it is to be around pregnant people, and especially to hear about newly pregnant people!
Sending thoughts and prayers your way!! This board is great, sorry you're here, but glad you found it!
