week 7 miscarriage

My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for alMOst a year while watching close friends and family getting pregnant and having babies. We were extremely excited when we found out the it had finally happened for us. I went for my first dr appointment at 7 weeks and found out that my uterus was measuring that I wasn't pregnant. But, all my blood tests came back that I was definitely pregnant. A couple of weeks later, when I should have been around 11 1/2 weeks, I started having light bleeding, which everyone told me can be quite common during pregnancy. 4 hours later it got worse so we went to the ER. The ER did a pelvic exam and an u/s and told us that everything was fine. They said that they baby looked healthy and that it had a healthy heartbeat but that the baby was only measuring 7 weeks 4 days. Of course we were a little confused by that but they kept saying that the baby was probably just small. They discharged me with a threatened miscarriage and told me to see my regular dr. The next day was when the cramping started. I went for another ultrasound 2 days later and found out the the baby didn't have a heartbeat and was detached from my uterus and was making its way to my cervix. My dr checked my HCG levels to be sure that the baby had indeed died and then ordered a D&C. I ended up passing the baby naturally 5 days later, but still went in for the D&C to make sure that everything was out. It has been an awful experience. Feelings of confusion and anger are always around. To everyone that has gone through and is going through a miscarriage...nothing anyone says makes it go away or makes it better. The best thing to do is to talk with your spouse or loved ones about what feelings you are having and just know that it will get better no matter how it might feel at the time. I wish everyone luck.

Keep trying.

I am 22. On april 15th 2009 i went with my boyf for my first scan, by my dates i would have been 10 +4. We were sooo excited! We had got pregnant straight away and everything was just 2 good 2 b true!which sadly turned out 2 b right. We were the first 2 b called in, we wanted 2 buy so many photos 2 give to eveyone!The nurse started the scan and i immediately knew somthing was wrong, although i could see our baby in front of us she was searching for somthing and v.quiet. Turned out she couldnt find a heartbeat. I just remember my mind going completly blank and remember the sadness in my bf face so vividly. I really felt i had let him down. I didnt cry straight away, It took the heavily pregnant doctor that was sent 2 come and talk 2 me about everything that just made me come back 2 reality with a big bang. I had 2 have a managed medical procedure done a couple of days later where i actually felt my baby pass out of me into a paper tray. It was the worst thing i hav eva done, and hopefully i wont eva hav 2 go through that again. It tested me and my brilliant bf to the max, but we are now so much closer and stronger for it. And hav had 2 believe that everything happens for a reason. we have been trying again and will find out next week whether this month we hav been successfull. I am excited but so so worried. Hopefully we wont be tested again. Good luck 2 everyone else in similar shoes 2 myself.

My Hope

I found out i was pregnant on 25th June, i was so happy, and also my fiance. We were so careful, he would disallowed me to eat certain thing and i was already starting taking pregnancy milk. Just i was on my 1st appointment to do ultrasound, the 1st word i heard from the doctor was "Yes, you have baby" but a few seconds later he said "It's not good, the baby has stop growing, we have to take it out". I was super happy then suddenly burst out in tears. Till now i am still crying and have to make a hard decision, have to take it out. Eventhough it is still small, but still my baby, already a part of our family. So we decided to name it HOPE. Even though we lost our HOPE but we still can see hope everywhere. HOPE will always be our little angel, our little baby. Papa and Mama will love you always...

ive only just sufferd a incomplete miscarrige, i found out wen i had my dating scan that i had lost my baby, this cut me up into a thousand pieces i had to go to hospital for some tests and a re scan but it was the same thing my baby had died, i had to go back in the next day for a d&c nw its over i don't no how to feel or what to do, im finding it so hard to cope with so is my husband. I don't really have any one else to talk to as peopleare always saying its my fault and oh well u still got jess, which is my only child and they always say oh well just have another one and get over it cause its only a miscarrige, this is really getting me down and im getting so depressed i only came out of hospital today 14/7/09 from having the op and i just don't no were to turn.
