Hello everybody,
First of all, I'm so sorry that we're all in this group- however, wonderful and nurturing it is. My heart aches for all of us as we go through our tribulations.
I'm writing here because I don't feel like I can talk to too many people about how I'm feeling. I've been driving myself crazy with worry, stress and weepiness since yesterday after leaving my OB's office.
In a nutshell, I had my 7wk6day appt yesterday (1st one w/ this pregnancy). My OB immediately alerted me to the fact that I have a large hematoma below the placenta (even though I have not been bleeding/spotting or even had bad cramps). As a result, he said I would be miscarrying soon. Added to that, he said that my baby is much tinier than he would have expected at this stage. When I asked him if he could hear/see a heartbeat, he said- "I didn't see any evidence of one, but that could be because the baby is so tiny."
He asked that I take a series of HCG tests, the first one of which I took after leaving his office. I take another one tomorrow. I am scheduled for another U/S next week. Based on his and my conversation and things I've read online, I am not hopeful of a positive outcome. Devastated would be an understatement to describe my emotions yesterday and today.
This waiting is excruciating. On one hand, I just want to know already. On the other hand, I'm scared to find out. I'vre read through so many of your posts; and I think I have decided that should my worst fears be confirmed, then I will do a D&C as soon as I can get one scheduled.
Thank you for listening to me. I know I am rambling, but like I said, I don't have alot of people to discuss this with as we hadn't told our friends yet- just our parents.
((hugs)) to everyone...
