Dying Inside

A few years ago when I was only 17 I found out I was pregnant. I was scared but happy at the same time. My boyfriend of a few years was very supportive. My family was equally supportive. I had gone to the Dr. a few times and everythign was fine. I had an ultrasound and couldnt really see anything but the heartbeat. Then one morning I woke up and didnt feel "right" in my head I thought I was in pain even though I didnt feel any. When I went to the bathroom there was a tiny lil blood clot and I freaked out. I was 13 weeks pregnant. My mother called my Dr. and he fit me in that day. When I got there they tried to find the heartbeat but couldnt so They had me get an ultrasound. I was laying there looking at the screen and all you could see was a baby not moving. He/ She appeared to be sitting indian style with their little head slumped over and the nurses said there was a "halo" above the baby's head. I still dont know what was wrong with taht baby or why he/she didnt make it. I was devastated crying uncontrollably, The Dr. asked me what I wanted to do he said I could either pass the baby at home or he could remove it surgically. I told him get it out as I couldnt bear the thought of carrying a deceased baby inside me. He tells me Ill have to wait 7 days before he could schedule me an appt. This is after I missed 2 appts with him before because he was delivering babies but he couldnt fit me in to perform a 30 min D&C. 2 days later on my moms birthday I woke up to a wet bed and I went to the hospital. They had me in a bed for over 6 hours I was passing large amounts of tissue and blood some of the tissue got caught in my cervix and I almost bled to death. The Dr. pulled out a large piece of almost skin colored tissue and placed it in a jar of liquid and sat the jar on a tray next to my head and left the room. All i could think about was how that was apart of my baby. After laying there in pain for hours feeling like I was in labor they finally transferred me to another hospital to do the D&C. I was so scared that I would die but I made it. It was the most traumatic thing to ever happen to me. It took me years to get over it. To not cry at the thought of what I had been through. I wondered If I could even have children I never was told why that baby didnt make just that 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. But Iam here to let anyone else who may have gone through this to know that just becuse you lose one doesnt mean you cant have another. Its been 6 years since I went through this and as of right now Iam 34 weeks pregnant with a little girl. I have to admit that this whole experience has been a bit stressful since I kept wondering in the early stages if this baby would make it. My fears wont completely go away until I hold her for the first time. Iam confident that I will do so. So anyone out there never give up hope. You never know what life has in store for you.
