I just got home from the ER. I lost the baby. I was supposed to be 16w4d but the baby apparently died around 16w. I had some lower abdominal pressure yesterday but no bleeding or spotting. I called my OB/GYN just to inform him and he said most likely it was just RLP. Today I took it easy and was watching tv when I felt a slight "gush". I ran to the bathroom and went to the bathroom and at first thought it was just urine. When I wiped there was some mucus with a tiny pink swirl in it. So because of our previous loss we decided to go to the ER just to get it checked out.
At the ER still no bleeding but I was leaking fluid. They did an u/s and I could see the monitor. I couldn't see a heartbeat but thought it was just my untrained eye. When we got back to the ER room, after what seemed like forever, the Dr. came in and said the baby was dead and that I was going to miscarry. I was in shock. I didn't even cry at first.
My OB/GYN came in to the
hospital and said that most likely it was a chromosomal abnormality and
this was just mother nature taking care of things. He started to mention
that he would just let me miscarry naturally and I started to freak
out. I couldn't stand the thought of having to deliver another tiny
baby. So he said that we could go up to the OR and they would sedate me
and let things happen and if needed, I would have a D&C. Apparently I
ended up delivering the fetus but they had to do a D&C for the
majority of the placenta. I am home now.
I am numb. 3 pregnancies. No living children. I don't think I can do this again.

I don't think anything I could write could express how sorry I am to have read that. You are obviously strong and brave to have experienced two loses already and with this I hope you only stay that way. I know its very disheartening to think you won't ever get to bring home your baby, but I know you will. I just know it. You deserve a little one and will get one one day. I hope your family and friends are with you for support and that you find some support here as well.
Sending you my thoughts & prayers.
~Big Sister (3) and Big Brother (5)~
Praying that this baby stays with me.
I'm so sorry, my heart hurts for you
