my fear happened

I found out today. I had a miscarriage..

Well I went to the hospital for severe cramping (due to constipation) && the doctor immediately told me I was miscarrying even though I wasn't bleeding . He ran blood work && told me my hcg levels were below 5 && I had lost the baby . Hearing that just rocked my world && I was a mess . I walked around for a week thinking I had a dead child inside of me . The doctor scheduled a d&c for the next week because he said my body wasn't releasing the pregnancy && that could cause infection . && like you , after it sank it && I started thinking clearly , I realized all of this was just impossible . At the time I was 8 weeks && I knew if my hcg levels were below 5 , that would mean I never was pregnant because your levels don't drop that drastically after a miscarriage . Then to confirm this I took TEN pregnancy tests that couldn't detect hormones under 50 hcg . All positive . So the day of my d&c I demanded an ultrasound && had a vaginal one && there was my sweet little baby . Heart rate 163 . && like you , I was never given any detail about my "miscarriage" I was never examined && the doctor refused to confirm it with an u/s . I know you've been bleeding but your cervix is closed && bleeding can be a normal part of early pregnancy . that's why I have my doubts . In my case , the doctor jumped to conclusions && he already had a sobbing family on his hands so it seems very convenient he would accidentally give me someone else's blood work results && refuse me an u/s . I think he was just covering his butt && hoping I'd get the d&c && never know the difference . So please get a second opinion before you take any medication or have any procedure . If I wasn't so stubborn I would no longer be 15 weeks pregnant with my little angel . If you find your baby is alive && well , get a new doctor immediately ! I'm in the process of fighting the hospital && the doctor . You become a mother the moment you see that positive test && as mother's our job is to protect our children to the best of our ability ; I wouldn't of been doing my job if I gave in so easily to getting my child vacuumed away . Get a second opinion && no matter what , you'll always be a mother to that baby && it wasnt anything you did . Just do everything you can to get the answers you deserve .

What did happen when they tried to say that to you???

I'll have to find something out before a d&c. I can't get one not knowing for sure. I'll need to call around tonorrow.

Sending prayers for you and your bf, if it was me I would definitely get a second opinion... I dont think I could just go on with a D&C and not know exactly what happened or was happening .... keeping my fingers crossed for you guys
