Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

I thought pregnancy was supposed to be a happy time?!

hi girls,

I'm 6 and a half weeks pregnant. Things dont seem to be working out too well.  This is my first pregnancy and I never expected anything bad.  People dont really talk about the bad situations so I wasnt mentally prepared. 

My first sign was heavy bleeding while at work about 6 days ago. Soaked through my undies and tights in a matter of minutes.  Luckily I was still carrying a pad in my purse so that saved me from having to leave. Of course, I cried all the way home.  Then, a couple of days later, Dr told me my hCG #s were low and talk of possible miscarriage. I had another hCG test and got word today the numbers were alot higher, but also today I had more heavy bleeding and some mild stomach cramping(while at work of course!).  On Friday, hubby and I will have an ultrasound to see whats happening in there.  I've been on a emotional roller coaster.  I'm dreading Christmas day with my family.  Only Mom knows. This is just such a strange experience and so unexpected. 

I havent even given my best friend all the details because its too hard to even speak the words.

  • I am so sorry you are going through this. 

    I will pray that you get good news on Friday.  They can't get you in for an ultrasound sooner?  Heaven forbid you get bad news, if you got it sooner rather than later, you'd have some time alone with your husband to process everything before Christmas day with your family.

    Again, I have no other words just that I am so very sorry that you have to go through this.  I'm new to this board but the women here are truly amazing.  I hope you find the support you need to get through this, wherever it may be.

  • I hope that Friday goes better for you. There are lots of women who have bleeding and cramping that do go on to have a healthy pregnancy. My sister in law was one of them. Unfortunatly there are no happy endings on this board. We can not offer you much in the way of hope but we can offer you support if Friday does not go well. We can be here for you if you need us but I hope you do not need to join this board.
