I'm back (warning m/c ment.) xpost

I lost the baby on Monday. The miscarriage started at 7 w 1 d, but I think
from what I saw that baby stopped growing a week or two earlier. My faith in
the medical establishment was pretty accurate, but I did manage to get
compassionate, if slow, care at the ER when we went in to make sure the
burning pain wasn't ectopic. It wasn't. I went home and miscarried naturally
over the next two days. Brutally, constantly painful Sunday. Monday,
surprisingly gentle, although rather laborlike, and I was just starting to
hope that things might be okay when the baby passed painlessly.

We decided that if I ovulate before June 14 (3 wks after mc) then we'll wait
a cycle to try again. If I don't ovulate until after June 14, we'll start
ttc this cycle.

The only "good" thing about this is that I know that it wasn't caused by my
clotting disorder--in fact, I passed very few clots at all, which means I've
managed to successfully anticoagulate enough without causing heavy bleeding
using my herbs and vitamins. The maternal side of the placenta looked great.
That was about all that did look great--the baby's side was sort of "folded"
and baby had clearly stopped growing and didn't look right, even by the
wierd standards of what 4 week embryos look like.

Perversely, as soon as the baby passed I felt "fine" phsyically. Bleeding is
"light period" right now and wsa far heavier this weekend. I'm tired, but as
much from the emotions as anything.

We buried the baby with the placenta on Tuesday, in the most fertile piece
of ground I know, under a blueberry bush in my old herb garden at my
mother's house.

My husband has been amazing... he stayed home with me Tuesday all day, and
has been taking really good care of me. He's been very tender and gentle and
unafraid of my grief.

One of the most difficult parts of this has been my mother--she's been
working hard to be really helpful, but she lost two and took it about as
hard as I've ever seen anyone take anything, and it seems like this has aged
her 5 years overnight. I grieve almost as much for her as for myself.

Hello,
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. My wife and I went through a m/c 1 year
ago on May 15th, and I know how difficult it is.
We started TTC about 6 months ago, and Jodi is now 15 weeks along, so
hopefully we are past the danger point (Jodi has m/c twice now). The EDD is
November 21st... and it will be our first living child, so we are both kind
of nervous, every step of the way... not to mention my mother, who took the
m/c as hard as we did.

I pray your next pg goes well! Just make sure you give yourself time to
heal and grieve from this one.

I'm so sorry to hear this, and just want to give you a big (((hug)))
I'm glad that you are feeling better physically, and can imagine how you
feel emotionally. I hope that time will ease your pain and you find some
comfort and peace. I think it's lovely that you saw your baby and was able
to bury him under a blueberry bush. I'm sure it's also a comfort to know
that clotting was not an issue.

(((Hugs)))

I am so sorry Jen .....
