I had a miscarriage yesterday and it was terrible. I went to the doctor because I was having cramping (which were HORRIBLE) and bleeding. The doctor couldn't find the heartbeat, which we had easily seen before. We saw it 6 days before, which I am so thankful for. Anyway, he didn't see the heartbeat, but he saw the baby so he sent me to the hospital since their equipment is better. I went to the hospital and when the technician did the abdominal u/s first. She said she saw the baby, but couldn't find the heartbeat. So she had me go to the bathroom to empty my bladder so we could do the vaginal u/s. I won't go into detail, but let's just say that I lost the baby when I went to the bathroom. I immediately started crying, but went back to do the vaginal u/s and even told her she wouldn't find anything. She didn't. The gestational sac was there, but everything in it was gone. I was devastated. After we finished, she had me wait until she talked to the radiologist. They confirmed what I already knew. This morning I went to the doctor and the good news is everything is out, including the sac. I didn't have to do a D&C and so that's good. The bad news is I lost my precious little baby. It was my first pregnancy and even though I was only 7w3d, it's deflating. I'm just so so sad and crushed. I know I'll be fine, but it's hard. The doctor said I can try to get pregnant again once my period starts, so that's good, but right now I can't even begin to think about it. I know I just need to grieve. Anyway, I just wanted to get my story out there because I am so sad. One minute I had all this happiness and now it's just been taken away. I'm so sorry for every women who has ever lost a child. It's a feeling no one should ever have to experience. I'm 36 so I just pray my next pregnancy is better.
Thanks for letting me tell my story.
