Hi,
I'm 22years old and have experienced my first joys of pregnancy and pains of a miscarriage in under 2months.
I'm hoping that a mom with similar experiences could offer me some kind of support/guidance. My apologies if some find this to be too graphic.
Last week monday I went for my first ultra sound at 8w 6d and to my horror saw no heartbeat. My boyfriend and I were absolutely devastated and still are.
According to my gynecologist, our baby stopped developing at 5-6wks due to a suspected chromosome imbalance.
She also informed me that should I wait for my body to expel naturally, it could take up to 4more weeks as my hormone levels were still quite high.
So, as one may be able to imagine, I was quite shocked when I started to bleed just 5days after my scan.
I've been experiencing a lot of contractions and occasional nausea up until now.
At first a was experiencing a light period, but this monday morning my flow increased quite quickly. My cramps got worse and when waking up at 02:30am this morning I felt an urge to rush to the bathroom. I slowly pulled my underwear down as not to mess the pads contents when I noticed a long thick sac expelling itself. Once it was out I couldn't help but stare at it. At one point I started to feel nauseas. The sac was lying stretched out about 10cm long and there were little veins running through it. I also noticed a small growth like object, slightly larger than a pea, attached to one side. I can't help but wonder if that was the early stage of what could have developed into my baby. This has been an extremely emotional and shocking experience for me- to a point where I'm not sure how I am nor should be feeling.
Since then my flow has seemed to increase and the pain is reaching new heights. I have not been able to go back to sleep since then as I am still in shock of what I saw.
Although it was not at all physically painful when the sac was expelled, it was emotionally and yet I'm glad I was able to see it.
I hope I have not grossed you out with all the details. And I am sincerely sorry and offer my condolences to all the mums who have had similar experiences to mine.
