sad news (m/c)

Warning - m/c D&C mentioned...


My worst fears were confirmed yesterday.
After waking up to bright red blood ... not a lot, but a change in pattern,
I rang my Ob.
I saw him yesterday afternoon and he could not find the baby on the u/s at
first, just the sac in the uterus. When he did find a shadow in the sac, he
said it measured almost the same as we'd seen it the week before and had
probably died shortly after the last scan. I was prepared for this news but
poor DH was ever the optimist, so I think the news hit him harder. My Ob
was wonderful throughout and let us weep in privacy while he organised a D&C
(at the hospital right next door) and all the paper work.
I had a curette last night and the Ob said my cervix had already started to
dilate, but would have taken quite some time to naturally miscarry. Even
though I was apprehensive about the D&C (the Anaesthetic mostly) I'm glad it
is done as I don't think I could have coped emotionally with a natural m/c.
I have almost stopped bleeding this morning and am feeling a lot brighter
about the world. Of course I think I'll be rather emotional for some time
to come.

I also had a dream that my baby is now with a friend of mine who died a
couple of years ago. It was lovely and they were both surrounded by light.

Hopefully it will not be long before I'm pregnant again ..... and I have my
order in for a straight-forward, uncomplicated, healthy, happy pregnancy

that's where you'll find me".

I'm so very sorry. :-(

Amanda, so very sorry for your loss.

Heres an extract out of a poem called Desiderata by Max Ehrmann.

'Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams;
it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.'
