Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Sad to introduce myself...

I found out I was pregnant on December 3. I had my first ultrasound on December 27. The baby was measuring 8 weeks and had a beautiful heartbeat of 160bpm.

I shared the news of my pregnancy with the world on Jan 1, knowing that once you've seen the heartbeat, the chance of miscarriage drops significantly.

I went in for my nuchal screening yesterday, on my sons 18 month birthday. As soon as the ultrasound tech places the wand on my belly I knew. The baby hasn't grown since my last ultrasound 3 weeks earlier. There was no heartbeat.

I had a DC today.

I am heartbroken and numb. I'm hoping that today will be the beginning of my healing journey.

Re: Sad to introduce myself...

  • I'm so sad that you're here. :( I had a D&C on Jan. 9th, and this board has been so helpful for me. I was comforted that there were so many other women going through the same myriad of emotions. Hang in there--hugs to you.

  • Our stories are so close it is scary.  Got my BFP on 12/1/12.  First ultrasound on 12/19.  Everything looked great and heartbeat was strong.  Shared our news on January 1, as well.  

    Ultrasound this past Tuesday showed baby had not grown.  No heartbeat.  Had my D&C yesterday.

    Brokenhearted for me and you both.  Praying that we both find healing and hope very soon.

  • I have also found this board helpful, if only to read and help others, even though I am going through the exact same thing!

    I have having a d&c tomorrow. It is mind boggling to me that these mc's happen after such strong heartbeats! Will your doctor do a tissue analysis to see what may have happened?

    I am debating if I want to find out the gender based off of the analysis. I don't think it will help with the healing at all, but I don't think it will hurt it, and I think I will always be curious. 

    I hope we are all on the 1st trimester boards in the next few months all together!!

     

    Prayers for all,

    Avigail (ps - if any of you want to chat and support each other outside of the boards via fb or something let me know).
