Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Introduction

 I've been lurking since Monday, but couldn't bring myself to introduce myself until today.

My DH and I found out on Halloween that we were expecting our first LO. Our u/s on 11/22 and showed our LO measuring 6w3d with a HB of 126, which gave us our due date of July 15, 2011. DH had to work so, he missed this appointment. I had an appointment this past Monday and everything went downhill from there. The baby measured at around 9w and there was no HB. Poor DH was devastated even more because he had never seen our baby with a HB. We chose to do the D&C, as I couldn't wait for things to happen on their own this close to the holidays. I spent 11 hours in the hospital yesterday, mostly wait time, between check in, surgery and recovery. I did find out that my blood type was A-, so I'm RH negative, which added to the time I spent in the hospital while they made my injections.

I'm still figuring my life out, wondering where the next step is and how I'm going to get through the next few months. Even though this situation is never where I pictured myself, I can honestly say I'm glad to know that there is this support system here that I plan to take advantage of it.

  • Noooo!  I remember you from the July board...I love your siggy pic with your DH. 

    We had the same EDD date.  Oh no, oh no, oh no.  I'm so, so, so incredibly sorry.  I know what it's like to have a loss after seeing the heartbeat and it's so brutal.  Again, I'm so sorry.

    I'm also RH-...those dumb injections take forever if they aren't prepared for them.

    I hope you find the support you need on this board.  Take full advantage -- you'll need it.  Oh, I'm so sorry.

  • I am sooo sorry for your loss. I also remember you from july 11 board.  The women on this board are just wonderful with support.  I also had a D&C done, and I can tell you that in about 5 days, I was back to normal in that aspect.  Of course the emotional part is a day to day battle.

  • Hi WifeyWynn.... I never got a chance to post on your "goodbye" on July bc I posted mine the same day :(  

    We had very similar cases and I can't believe we both had our hearts broken on the same day.  As much as I wish neither of us were here, I'm glad you stopped lurking.  I hope we can both find some peace soon...

  • NO!!!!!  I'm so sorry to see you here!!!  I'm sorry to see all of my July 2011 mama's joining me and all the ones that were already here.  I keep wondering how it is possible that babies are even born given all the complications and problems that I've seen in just one slice of the population!!!!  I wish that you didn't have to go through this.  (I wish that none of us did).  And I know how tough it is after hearing the heartbeat because you really do think you are on your way to having a baby at that point. I was right there with you, went in where I should have been 11 weeks only to find that the baby only measured 9w 5days so it must have stopped beating the week before.  I had no idea...

    I know that you have probably already heard this, but please know there is nothing you did or could have done.  It's just something that happens and we are part of the lucky 5 out of 100 women who this happens to after hearing a heartbeat... I know...It sucks!!!!  

    I also know that the last thing you want to hear is that you can try again (considering I'm on my 5th try... I can't tell you how many times I've heard that one)... All I can really say is, with time you will feel better (I know from experience) and the best thing you can do is take care of yourself and certainly use your support system -- whether it be here, at home, or a counselor.  

    One day I want all of us to have our take home babies!!!  I pray for it all the time.

    Look me up if you want to talk!

  • Thank you ladies for the support and thoughts. It is sad to see so many of us July 11 momma's here. I got a some slightly good news today, my boss called me and told me I didn't have to come in the rest of the week so, at least I can have some time to grieve before the holidays.

    EHayes1183: I still lurk on the July board and was so saddened to see your post right after mine. I wanted to respond but, I couldn't even process to do so. I'm glad you've also ended up here, you were someone's opinions I always respected and liked to see.
