Baby Lost Heartbeat

Jun 03, 2009

I went to see my RE yesterday for the second ultrasound and he said "I am so sorry to tell you but your baby doesn't have a heartbeat". So, he said take a minute get dressed and meet me in the consult room. He hugged me and left. Then, I lost it. Quickly composed myself.

We waited in the consult room for 20 minutes...guess they were giving us time to grieve. I just wanted to talk to them and get out of dodge! So, he came in and said how sorry he was. He wants me to try and miscarry on my own. He said it can take anywhere from a few days, to a few weeks, to two months. He has had some patients take 2-3 months to miscarry "the tissue". We agreed to give it two weeks and if I haven't passed the "tissue" then I will have a DNC. He gave me a prescription of narcotics because he said you are going to have severe pain...gee thanks! He said I measured at 8 weeks and a few days. They did the blood test since my blood type is A- (RH- to see about antibodies and if and when the shot will be needed).

I am sad, in shock, and just numb actually. I really had faith that this was going to be our little miracle and hubby and I were going to have a family after 10 years of waiting. Don't get me wrong, I know I am not the ONLY one who has miscarried.

My boss and hubby are making me take today off. To do what, I have no idea :)  Maybe I will get a pedicure  and take a bath since I wasn't allowed to take a bath for a while!!!
