I am new to the forum experience so please be patient as i figure it out! I am posting on behalf of my loss and looking for support/woman who have been in my situation.
I am a mother of two beautiful girls - ages 2 and 3! We decided to have another baby! In march we found out we were pregnant again! We were so excited, told our friends and family, announced it on Facebook, and our other social networks. 2 days after we announced it, I got very mild cramping an bleeding, which stopped very shortly after it started! I knew I didn't miscarry as I didn't pass any tissue. The day after I decided to go to the emergency and they did a US. I was measuring at 6 weeks. They found 3 gestational sacs, no yolks, no fetal poles, no heartbeats.. A follow up was recommended because of how early it was. The follow up US I should have been 9 weeks. All three sacs grew slightly but still all empty! Today they gave me 4 pills which I inserted myself. Now I have been suffering a very painful miscarriage.
I am really upset about my loss. And actually really confused. Nobody told me why this happened, or what they are even. I'm confused how the sacs grew without anything inside. And why I still got sick. My dr called them "parasites" a fake pregnancy! But I'm confused how a pregnancy can be "fake"!
I feel very alone in my situation because none of my friends or family have been in this kind of situation. I feel like I shouldn't be too upset because they technically werent ever babies. But I am very upset about it! I feel like my heart is physically breaking! Please tell me any possibilities of why this happened (I know I won't know for sure but it would be great to get a better understanding of why it happened!) and please respond if you have been through this! I need to know I am not alone & would just love to talk to someone who's dealt with it.
Welcome to bb, I am so very sorry for your loss. Remember that a loss is a loss, no matter what stage the pregnancy was at, and you have every right to grieve for your babies.
You will find mountain loads of support on this forum
I'm so sorry, your dr was a douche! It sounds like what you had what the medical profession generally refer to as a 'blighted ovum', there is nothing fake about it (how utterly ridiculous!) it's just that the pregnancy failed to develop further for whatever reason, but you were no less pregnant than anyone else at that stage! The sac continues to grow because your body is still producing the pregnancy hormones , it's a cruel process and I'm so sad for you. Take good care, I hope you have lovely support around you to give you comfort in the journey ahead. Best of luck xxx
Oh hun that couldn't have been easy. I am so sorry to hear of your loss, those were three little dreams, three little possibilities and three little lives that could have been. Take your time and find the courage and support you need from this wonderful forum.
Big Hugs
What you describe sounds like blighted ovum, there is nothing 'fake' about these pregnancies, and that must of been awful to have the Dr tell that to you
My 3 angels..
