Miscarriage confirmed
Thank you everyone for your support over the past week. Unfortunately I went to the hospital and the baby measured 7 weeks and there was still no heartbeat. I also had a blood test and the hcg levels fell 5,000 points. Oddly, I started to bleed and cramp after leaving the hospital so it is confirmed. I ws too overwhelmed to go throught with the D&C so I will call on Monday to schedule. Im in shock I have never ever been so happy in my life as I was when I found out I was pregnant I had already bonded with the little life inside of me. Recovery is going to be long and difficult. I'm scared to go through this again! Thank you again for your support and love.
Hi there,
I just went through this. I was 8 weeks, and started to have brown spotting. About a week later on Dec 26th, the miscarriage occurred full force. It was horrible and painful, which I wasn't expecting. I actually felt contractions, and eventually passed the gestational sac and placenta. I completely understand how you feel. I too was the happiest I had ever been to find out I was pregnant, then to just lose it was devastating. I didn't have a D& C because mine occurred naturally. I also feel fear about going through this again. My pregnancy was a surprise, and I was sooo happy to have had it just "dropped in my lap" and not had to go through all the months/years of worry and fertility treatments, etc. What scares me is how painful (physically and emotionally) this was. To think that once you go through "getting pregnant"...You then have to stress about "staying pregnant" scares me to death. This miscarriage was an experience that I never want to go through again; however, that will not keep me from trying for a successful pregnancy. I had no idea how much I wanted another baby (my oldest is 15) until I found out I was pregnant with the one I just lost.
