Thank you for having this arena in which I feel I can write truth - my truth. I miscarried last week and had my D&C on the same day (last Tuesday)
I am 37, mother of a fabulous 16 year old boy, and was SO thrilled to find myself pregnant again. My husband, son and I were so eagerly anticipating this new little one.
I am diabetic and thus "high-risk", so I took every measure to ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy.
When I started spotting on 7/4, I got very worried - went to the ER, and they performed an ultrasound and pronounced a very strong, healthy heartbeat - so I relaxed. I found out about my loss upon a routine doc appt/ultrasound "I'm so sorry, I don't find a heartbeat".
My world just collapsed there - I could not believe it - couldn't make myself believe it - I had SEEN the heart beat just one week prior.
I've never felt such depths of pain and anguish - and "people"s' responses are just not helpful - at all. It is so hard to bounce back and get back to work where grief is quite frankly inconvenient and I just feel so lost.
Thank you for letting me speak (I"m sure I will again - ) and I feel better knowing I am not alone.
Hease105-really sorry for your loss. Similar thing happened to me with my second m/c
had spotting went for u/s seen a healthy hb for 3 weeks then on fourth week nothing.
Know how devastating it is.
I am so pleased that you have found this place as it has really helped me, hope you find it helps you too.
Take care
Hease105,
My thoughts are with you at this painful time, you will find many supportive friends on here who will help you to feel less isolated whilst you go through the grieving process. I know that when I needed them they made each day a little easier to bear. Give yourself time to go through all of the emotions that your body throws at you. And also know that you are not alone, writing about it on here helps immensely.
Thinking of you,
ClareBear.
