I should've been ready...

I started bleeding at 4 weeks and it went on for 9 days. I feared the worst but went in for a scan at 6 weeks and saw the baby, measuring 5w 3d with a heartbeat in the 160s. I was so relieved and grateful. We went back yesterday for a follow up scan at 7 weeks (EXACTLY 1 week after 1st scan) and baby measured 6w 3d with no heartbeat. I feel so stupid now for getting my hopes up and actually thinking everything would be fine. I should've been more realistic and maybe I wouldn't hurt so much now.

I'm so very sorry honey! Its all so hard and we seem to go back and forth between trying to remain positive and happy, to worry, stress, and sadly loss at times. Take care of yourself.

I really don't think that any amount of prep would make it less painful. I am sorry for your loss.

Nothing can ever prepare you for that kind of loss. I wasn't prepared. I had an ultrasound that showed that I had already lost the baby and I still clung on to hope that maybe it was too early to see anything so dont feel stupid. Being realistic or clinging onto hope wouldn't make it hurt any less....bonding starts when you get that bfp.

Sorry for your loss

It hurts no matter how ready you are. We were ready for 2 weeks with no good news but it still hurt like a knife to the heart. ((hugs))
