Baby is gone

[Evie76]

Hi everyone

Well, I suspected that I was miscarrying and I'm correct. I'm currently sitting here at home feeling a bit like I'm at a loose end. I had a feeling late last week when I was spotting that things were not going well - but I had heard that spotting is quite common and not necessarily the indicator of m/c.

On Sunday night - still spotting - I moved off the couch and then the "flood" started. I just knew that it had gone beyond spotting and was something much more serious. My DH and I went to the ER and they said it is common for pg women to still have their AF. Dunno how that works.

So, I had a scan yesterday and the Dr said that viability was extremely low. Then the Dr said he wanted me to have a blood test. If it test +ve then I would need to do another one later in the week to see if the HCG levels are increasing or decreasing. Decreasing means miscarriage.

I was +ve and he said that the HCG levels are indicating that I am six weeks - to small to see on a scan. Anyway, he said "there is still hope" so to have the second blood test on Thurs to see what is happening.

This morning I starting "expelling" massive clots (so large I can feel them come out, sorry TMI) - very, very similar to after birth - which indicates to me that m/c is underway, well and truly.

So, unfortunately Bubbles is no more. But this is far from the end. I am determined to get Daniel a little brother or sister!! Come hell or high water!!

I guess I am lucky I don't have to have a D&C as my body seems to be taking care of everything for me. Just REALLY wanted Bubbles to stick around........... *sigh*....... like I said....... at a lose end.

I feel sad, but know that m/c's happen for a reason. Just be nice to know exactly what that flamin' reason is.

Anyway, that's my story today.

I think for today I will keep checking in here and float around the house watching Oprah and eating chocolate............. oh, I wish I had chocolate!! I'll have to go down to the shop.

Lestypuss - I'm so sorry that you are miscarrying Last week I found out my baby had passed away and needed to have a D&C (we were 8 weeks and 1 day pregnant), so I know how devastating the loss can be no matter how long the precious little bub was with you.

I'm still not coping very well, but realise that time is needed to grieve and heal, so take all the time you need for yourself and don't worry about what other people might say or think.

My thoughts are with you.

Oh, and I ate an entire "Crunchie" easter egg yesterday that was left over from easter...

Email it to me........... they email........ don't they??
