Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Never wanted to join this club, but here I am.

Hi, ladies. I figured I'd head this way since it looks like I'm miscarrying. This was my first pregnancy, and I was about 8w1d along. I've been bleeding since the 16th, but in the last three or four days it's gotten much worse. I had two ultrasounds, one on the 16th and one on the 22nd, both showing a healthy baby and a strong heartbeat. But today I began to pass clots, and contractions started at 11:30 last night. They tapered off and I went to sleep, but they came back around 6:30 this morning. I'm currently sitting in my bathroom floor with the laptop, in some pretty extreme pain while I wait for my body to finish what it started. If it hasn't passed by tonight, my midwife wants me to come in for an exam and possibly a D&C. She said that typically once a miscarriage gets going, it doesn't take a terribly long time for it to complete, and she's worried about my chances of infection.

 Thanks for reading this. I know no one here "knows" me, but it feels a little better to know that other people understand what it's like to go through this.

  • Oh honey I am so sorry this is happening to you.  I remember you from the April board.  I have only been on here for two weeks but these ladies have been really supportive and helpful.

  • I'm so sorry you are going through this.  I started miscarrying yesterday but I was only 5 weeks along and this is also my 2nd time so I knew what to expect.  I can't imagine the sadness since you already got to see and hear the heartbeat.  Just know that you are not alone and there are lots of great ladies here to support you.  Take some time for yourself and let yourself be sad for a while.  I hope you are feeling better soon.

    Yeah... I've said it before, and I'll say it again I'm sure (sadly)... this is not the place you want to "run into" people, but it is always nice to see a friendly face...

  • So sorry to hear about your loss..I just had a D&C on Friday and I was also about 8 weeks...I did not bleed or spot before the D&C and cant imagine how traumatic it must.  Support from complete strangers has been so much more helpful than I ever thought.  Hopefully you have someone in your life that lets you express every angry/sad/ranting thought you have.  I have a friend at work that has gone through it and I literally txt her every time I'm feeling sorry for myself and she has been awesome about it....anyway we are all here and I'm hoping it does get easier for all of us. Hugs your way....

  • Oh Blind, I am so sorry to see you here.  It absolutely breaks my heart :(

    Whenever you are ready, please come over to the TTCAL board.  The women there are AMAZING and I know you will find so much support there.

    FWIW, I started bleeding heavily 7/15, and by 7/22 it was all over with, so hopefully this won't last terribly long and you won't need a D&C.  Lots of ((hugs)) to you and please PM me if you ever want to talk.
