I had a miscarriage yesterday. It was awful.
I found out late Friday afternoon that our baby had no heartbeat. I should have measured 11 weeks, 2 days; instead the baby measured 6 weeks, 5 days. It was not a regularly scheduled appointment. I called the doc Friday morning because I had ever-so-slight bleeding when I woke up to go to the bathroom. It was barely anything, but it gave me a sick feeling in my stomach. We had kept the pregnancy a secret and had big plans for a reveal at a family dinner on Saturday night.
We made plans for a D&C for today at noon, mainly because of the weekend, the holiday, and the doc's booked surgery schedule for yesterday. My body had different plans and the main part of the miscarriage happened yesterday morning.
I got labs done today and talked with the doctor. She believed that I likely had a complete miscarriage and is going to check my HCG today and repeat next week. She said once my cycles regulate I can try again, and said she didn't want me to wait too long because of my age.
I'm very sad and disappointed and so is my husband. I guess there's no 'good' time of year for a loss, but Christmas seems extra bad. Physically, I am okay, just really tired. We've been resting at home today, loving on my LO I am so amazingly, incredibly blessed to have. It puts things into perspective to realize how delicate life is and how difficult it can be to get a new person here. Very sad.

So sorry for your loss. My story was similar to yours so I know how hard it is to think you are almost at 12 weeks and to find out you had a mmc earlier. Our LO stopped growing at 8 wks but we didn't find out until week 13.
It was hard enough 1.5 weeks before Christmas..... I can only imagine how sucky that would have been to go through over the holidays.
I'm so sorry for your loss... my DH and I are going through the same thing. My D & C is tomorrow morning. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!!!
I am so sorry you're going through this. I think it's especially difficult around the holidays to go through something so difficult because it's supposed to be a time for happiness. Prayers go out to your and your Dh during this time!
