I was seventeen weeks pregnant this week. I went in for a routine exam on Monday. I was scheduled to have a full survey sonogram and find out the sex of my baby on Wednesday. On Monday, the doctor could not find my baby's heart beat. She sent me for an ultrasound just to see if they see the baby's heart beating. The technician could not see the heart beat. I was watching and I couldn't see it either. This was my fifth pregnancy. My doctor said that I could wait until Wednesday and see if the results were any different. I wanted to wait, praying and hoping that there was some mistake. However, I went to have the full survey sonogram done today and it was confirmed that the baby was no longer living. I can't believe this is happening. I miscarried on my second pregnancy. I was two weeks along. With this baby, I had already made a connection. We were looking forward to our fourth child. I know she is in heaven with the Lord now, but I wish she was here with me. Her body is still in my womb. My doctor will do a D&C on Friday. I just wanted to "talk" to someone who has been through what I am going through. No one seems to feel quite the way I feel; even my husband seems distant although I know he's trying.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard this must be for you. I lost my first child, a little girl at 33 weeks.
Guys always seem to take things differently than us women. I think it is just harder for them to form the bond that we do to the baby when it is still in the womb. I had a D&C after I delivered my little girl in July. I know my was a little different than yours, but is shouldn't be painful. It will be very emotional for you as it happens and it is okay to cry. Let it out and grieve for your little one. I hope everything goes okay and maybe the doctor will be able to tell you the sex. Let me know how it goes. Stephanie |

I had a D&C and had no physical pain. They put me to sleep and the procedure took about 15 minutes. Aftewards, I went home.
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you. Quote:  |

Sonya, I am so sorry about the loss of your baby. I, too, lost mine this week at 15 wks along. I am devastated, as you are. By now, you will be through with your procedure, I'm sure. It is now Saturday. I wanted to tell you about the procedure I am having done on Monday by my OB and midwife. I wish I had seen your post earlier. With me, all was progressing fine, until in my 15th week, I began to notice things weren't right and I wasn't feeling very pregnant anymore. In fact, rather than growing, I was losing my baby belly. I stopped feeling movements. Etc, etc. I am having the same problem with my husband, as he had not bonded with the baby yet - never felt it move. Like you, my only comfort is knowing the baby is with the Lord and someday we will be reunited. There is only one thing that brought a smile to my face these past couple days. The thought of my gramma being met by her 29th great-grandchild in Heaven! I would love to talk with you and see how you are doing now. Our losses occurred near to one another, and the babies were near the same gestational age. I hope you will respond and we can exchange email addresses.

Sonya,
I am so sorry for your loss. I, too, lost my baby this week. I was just 9 1/2 weeks pregnant, and it's hard b/c I feel like people think that b/c it was so early I should just be able to move on, and that I was lucky b/c I hadn't bonded w/ my baby yet, which is so not true. I had already had my 1st prenatal visit and was looking forward to the 2nd one in a couple of weeks since we hadn't heard the heartbeat at the 1st one. Then, this Sat., 10/13, I began to spot & then at night bleed heavy. My doc said that at this pt. in my pregnancy I had to go the ER, which I did. I did not opt for the D & C and decided instead to take Methergine & go home, which was harder than I ever thought it would be. It is an experience I am terrified to ever have again, and yet all I want to do is be pregnant again. It was my 1st pregnancy, and I feel like all the joy that I thought pregnancy could be just doesn't exist. I feel like if I ever do get pregnant again I will not ever enjoy the pregnancy the way I watched my sister and sister-in-law enjoy theirs...with a simple, innocent happiness that I will never know. I'm sorry...this has turned into my own venting about my loss as well, and I meant it to share your sorrow and let you know you're not alone in your grief. This is the 1st I'm sharing of my loss outside my family. Thanks for listening, and I'll be praying for you. |

My fiance and i just recently miscarried. I was only 5 and a half weeks pregnant. It has been very hard on both of us to deal with and cope.
