Difficult intro

jbartsy · October 2013

Hi all, I've always heard great things about this board but was hoping that I'd never have to be part of it. But... here I am.

This was my first pregnancy, and DH and I were so thrilled. We had an ultrasound and saw/heard the heartbeat at 6w3d... everything seemed to be perfect and normal. On Sunday, I randomly started spotting and then bleeding at 9w1d. We spent all day in the ER, and they informed us that baby had stopped growing at 7w6d and that I was miscarrying. I knew they had to be right, but I didn't want to believe it... however, I faced reality last night when I naturally miscarried at home. That was the most painful experience I've ever been through, both physically and emotionally. I have an OB appt today to follow up.

I know we can get through this and that there is still hope in our future, but it just sucks to be one of the unlucky ones. I hope to give and receive support here as we all grieve our losses

I'm so sorry for your loss! I too saw my LO strong heart beat at 7 wks and then started to bleed at the end of 10 wks and learned that he had stopped growing at 8 wks. Its hard to see that heartbeat and then know that shortly after that they were gone. I understand what your going through. This is a great place for love and support. It has helped me greatly to comfort others and be comforted by them also. Please know I'm thinking of you and your husband.

So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine having to go through that experience at home. I do not have much advice to offer as this was our first pregnancy as well, but I agree that we will get through this. Thoughts and hugs coming your way!

Sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how hard it must of been since you were able to hear and see the baby. I had a miscarriage last month but it was before I could actually get the idea of "I'm pregnant." It was hard as it was my first time being pregnant. Cheer up, things happen for a reason and just know that when the time is right you will be embraced with motherhood. Thoughts and prayers go to you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Hearing the baby's HB only to have this happen just hurts. It does suck to be here in general but I hope you find comfort.

I am so sorry for your loss!! My T&P's are with you!

It is amazing how close our stories are. We had seen the heartbeat at 6w2d. Then at 9w6d we had an ultrasound and learned that our little one stopped growing and no longer had a heartbeat at 7w4d. I am going in for a d&c tomorrow and I would have been 11w1d tomorrow. My body is still not showing any signs of knowing our little one is gone. Had we not had the ultrasound I would still have zero clue anything is wrong.

I am glad you see the hope for the future! This was also our first pregnancy and we are trying for our first little one. We are hopefully for the future as well and cannot wait to start trying again in a few months.

I'm sorry you ended up here too. Sorry for your loss

it sucks to say the least. This was our fist pregnancy as well and we were so excited.

Give yourself time to grieve and heal both physically and emotionally. It's great that you are positive about he future. Hopefully we all just had some really bad luck. We are also hopeful to try again and that things go perfectly next time around. Best of luck and big hugs!!!!

Thanks all

@mmason12 our stories are very similar. I remember you from the may14 group. So sad to see other May mommas here! But we will get through it day by day.
