Feeling empty

**kittycat** · August 31st, 2008, 07:27 PM

Hi, I have just found your website and have found it to be very comforting.

I lost my baby last Thursday night. I thought I was 10 weeks preganant, I had bleeding, went to the doctor only to be sent for a scan to be told that I actually lost our baby 2 weeks ago. This news was a shock as I never thought this was going to happen to me. I was thinking positive thinking that everything was going to be ok, maybe my body was just telling me to slow down.

I was told there was no heartbeat, im sure you ladies all understand, this is very much a shock to the system. My doctor was very kind, she told me to go to the hospital in the morning. meanwhile my body had decided that enough was enough and i started to miscarry my baby. i would never wish this upon my worst enemy!!!

Tomorrow I go back to the hospital for a scan, hopefully my body will have expelled all...
im hoping you ladies can assure me that there is hope that i can have a baby in the future, that there is hope out there, that i can get out of this ok....

thank you, kitty cat

Kitty Cat,

I am so sorry for you loss - I lost my first bub at 6 weeks, so I definatly know what you are going through, and no owman should ever have to go through it.
You need to take care of your self and take timer to greive and let your body heal.
You will go on to have your much longed for bub - I fell a month after my misscarrage so it is possible!
Good luck with it all and know that it does get easier - you never forget but it gets easier.
Welcome to Belly Belly - its a great place to be.
Love
Kate

Sorry to hear about your loss.

I lost my first at 8 weeks its a terrible thing to go through.

Belly belly is a great place for support.

Rest up allow yourself to grieve and surround yourself with loving people.

Kitty - No words are enought to console after the shocking loss of a baby, however I will say it anyway... I am so, so sorry.
No one should ever have to go through a scan and see their dead baby. It is soul destroying!
Don't look to closely at my sig for confidence as I am not a total success story but, the positive news for you is that you have a VERY good chance of a successful pg next time around. The majority of m/c's are 'one offs" and most women never have another. Even I have managed one gorgeous, healthy child despite many losses.
The coming weeks will be tough, there is no doubt but time will ease the pain and you will move forward at your own pace. Come in here and speak with the wonderful women who truly understand the depth of your grief.
