After many years of trying and then giving up but praying it happens..it does, and when we least expect it. I find out I'm about 6wks pregnant. 2wks later we learn that there are two babies. I'm scared, shocked, and excited. I suffer from fibroids so I immediately express my concern to my OB. I feel like my concerns were not taking seriously. I was sent to a specialist due to my OB not being able to hear a heart beat. At that time, I was then able to get the 1st clear sono of them and hear the heart beats. I'm was so excited that I wanted to tell the world but I've always heard ppl say wait until after the 1st trimester. Well unfortunately, I only made it 13wks and 2days. I then miscarried. The next morning I was scheduled for a D&C. I felt less then a woman. I was still bleeding and in pain after 6/7 days and thought it was my cycle. I called my OB office and the nurse said that was more then likely just that. It's been 11 days since the D&C and my pain has escalated beyond belief, I am being rushed back to the hospital. I thought my fibroids had been causing the pain..but that was NOT the case. My OB didn't do a complete D&C!! I had to now have an emergency D&C due to his negligence. The emotional side of this was such a dark place that I was numb. I became very depressed and totally disconnected from the world. It took/takes a lot of praying to start to get me back on track. I encourage ppl all of the time but I had to learn how to encourage myself...and praying is the only way I learned how. Now, my expected due date is 1wk away and my emotions are running all over the place. All I can do is think about what I would/should be doing at this point. My babe wants to try again but my mind is playing tricks with me. I feel like I would be replacing my babies and now if I do get pregnant..what if it's only one baby? I keep praying for strength, peace of mind, and understanding but how do you forgive yourself when your the cause of the continuous stress?
I am so sorry for your losses. Please don't blame yourself. Maybe you could do something in memory of your twins on your EDD? I've heard of some people planting a tree/plant or releasing balloons.
Thank you all for your replies. As strange as it seems, I feel such comfort just being able to voice/vent and get positive feedback without somebody giving a "get over it" look or comment. This is helpful to me, so I hope it will help someone else as well. Thanks

EDD are so hard. I know all of mine and know I will never forget. Over the years they have gotten "easier", but still are upsetting.
My emotions run all over the place. I'll have a few good days, than am miserable for a day. Weird things remind/upset me. I just try to take it one day at a time. ((Hugs))
