First Pregnancy Miscarriage

[Shun]

I'm sory it is so long..

Hello All,

I am a 27 yr old and just had my first miscarriage. I got pregnant shortly after getting off the pill and wasn't even trying. I had a confirmed pregancy test at the doctor on March 14,2008 that I was 4 weeks. 4 weeks later, I had an ultrasound and heard the heartbeat. The baby was growing fine and the heartbeat was strong as ever. On Wednesday, April 30,2008 I had been experiencing some mucous with very light pink and/or brown blood in it. It occured that entire day so I went to the doctor. Another doctor in gyno office saw me and advised that my cervix was irritated and there was some slight bleeding, UNRELATED to the baby. Also that day they checked the heartrate and it was 159 and I was 11 weeks. I was pleased that the baby and I was ok. On saturday, May 3, 2008, I started to have some more bleeding this, time it was bright red with no cramping but abdominal pain. The pain was not unusual, since so much stretching is going on and I know that some bleeding is normal. I wasn't too alarmed, I just thought maybe the infection is worse or the vaginal cream I was prescribed is irritarting things. On Sunday mornig May 4, 2008, my life changed. I woke up to cramping, but still no alot of blood. I told myself that if the carmping did not stop in 30 minutes, I would wake my husband. Well I went back to the bathroom about 20 minutes later and there was more, bright red blood and more cramping. I woke my husband and we went to the ER. I am still not thinking I am miscarrying, I am just going to get checked out. There was lots of cramping on the way there. Once I arrived and checked in and went through the door, I felt clots release into the pad that I was wearing as a result of the cream. I told the nurse and immediately begin to cry. I knew then what was happening. Being a first time mom, had read so many books and webistes that I knew what to expect. After a couple hours of pain, blood, and tissue being passed an ultrasound confirmed my worst fears, I had miscarried at 11 weeks and 3 days after two healthy ultrasounds. After I was able to gather myself, I agreed to have a D&C. Physically after that I felt better, but emotionally I was a wreck. I am still grieving in my own way and know that with the support of family and friends, I will get batter. I am still hopeful for the next and have faith that I will bear children. I just wanted to share my story to help myself and hopefully to help others. Ladies let's not give up! Keeping praying and know that GOD will work things out for us.

Shun sweety,
I am so sorry for your loss and you are truly a brave woman coming here and sharing your story in the hope you will help others. Unfortunatley miscarriage after healthy ultrasounds does happen, and its heartbreaking. Allow yourself to grieve for your little angel, and although the pain eases and you learn to live with it, it never really goes away, and you will never forget. BUt you are absolutely right in having faith. It took a lot of faith and immense hope for me get to where I am today, I think my little girl is a result of all that faith and love. You have to believe in yourself and trust in your body to look after your next child until you can birth it and hold him/her in your arms.

You take care and im sending you loads of hugs,

Lisa

Hugs Shun, I feel for you having lost my baby at roughly the same time. Its awful and sad and such a loss. Let yourself go through all the emotions, sadness, grief, anger...just look after yourself and be kind to yourself. Talk to your hubby too, he'll be feeling very sad too and might not know what to say to you to share your grief.

Thinking of you...

Thinking of you.

Shun I am so sorry for what you are going through. I wish that there was something that I could say or do to make the pain go away. I too have recently lost my angel and I have found that the support from everyone in this forum has helped greatly. I am thinking of you, and will say a little prayer for your precious angel to be looked after along with my little sparkle up in heaven.

Shun. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It's a very difficult time and I know your hearts must be breaking. You sound very positive and I am sure you'll be blessed with a healthy bubba sometime soon.

Even though my m/c are two of the most heartbreaking things I have been through I will still always hold a very dear and special place in my heart for my angel bubs, although I only had them for a very short time I will never forget the feeling of unconditional love that I felt when I saw that + pregnancy test or that little 'flicker' on the u/s screen.
