Pregnancy Info HOME

This first trimester stuff is very nerve wrecking. Wait and see what happens next week. I'll be praying for you.

thank you, mindy.

Hi May,,, I would love to know how your second u/s went. Last week I had my first u/s, and the baby only measured 6.2weeks with no heartbeat,,,,I thought I was 8.4weeks,,,, the doctor said there's no hope and I will miscarry,,,, so far it's almost one week and I have no miscarriage symptoms. I have my next appointment tomorrow, to talk about d&c,,,, they never mentioned another ultrasound,,,, Should I request one? I am still hoping,,, but am very scared!,,, I hope you have better news at your 2nd u/s Hugs, Tia

Tia- I found out on August 22 that my baby did not make it. I had a subchorionic hematoma (blood clot under the placenta)that was growing and my doctors did not bother to put me on bed rest when it was small and could of corrected itself. My baby was doing so well with excellent growth and a strong heartbeat and the placenta ended up tearing away from the lining because of it. It makes me so sick to think about. I went in to the doctors right before I posted to may and was told that my 11wk old fetus was no where to be found. The whole pregnancy was wiped out. It was such a shock to me because all I had was the hematoma bleed which got very heavy at times. No cramps or pain, I am so sad about my baby and don't think I will ever get over it. I'm so sorry to hear about what you are going through. You should request another ultrasound just to be sure. I know how scared you must be, I am so scared to get pregnant again and have this happen again. I will be praying for you tomorrow.

Thank you Mindy! Just to know people care and that I'm not alone makes me feel a tiny bit better, but it still hurts,,, and I am very very sorry for what you have gone through and all the other mom's to be. I will keep you posted about tomorrow. and PLEASE don't give up, God will take care of you! Hugs, Tia May!? hope you are doing well, I am keeping you in my prayers.

Hi Ladies, This morning 9/2/05,,,I had the d&c,,, well mine was called the d&e (dilation and evacuation) same thing essentially! SO here is my STORY ~~~ because my baby only measured 6.2weeks at the 1st ultrasound and then exactly a week later only 6.5weeks at the 2nd u/s both times NO Heartbeat,,,, I decided to go ahead with the d&c,,,,, I kept being hopefull, b/c I had no miscarriage symptoms, just a little dark brown spotting about every other day,,,so I thought I could have miscalcultated my LMP at the first u/s,,, but the second confirmed it and my Hcg levels dropped from 28 thousand to 26 thousand to 20 thousand within a 6 day period,,,,,, ~~~~~So~~~~~~ We Got to the surgery center at 7:15am, registration,,, change,,,IV,,,,,, Anesthesia started at 8:30,,,,, They knocked me out,,, I remember sliding onto the O.R. table and the anesthesialogist putting the mask on my chest, I suppose to get used to the smell, which there was none,,, or I just don't remember if there was any,,, I was out!!! When I woke up, I was in recovery, they already put my grannie panties on with a pad,,,,,I just kept thinking how they put it on,,, Silly I tell you,,,,,,,,,, anyways, the nurse brought me coke,,, went to pee,,, got dressed and I was out the door.... Got home and was in bed by 10:40am..... ~~~~I already made piece with this whole thing the night before,,, My husband and I cuddled,cried and we played the last little lulluby to our lost baby (this cute little plush white bunny that you pull the tail and it plays the song,,, ~then we put it in a cubboard for it to rest,till december when we will try again~,,,,,,,,,,,,,,~~~ The only thing I was worried about is the after effects like,,, how much cramping and bleeding and all,,,,,,, I got the super Overnight Always Wings, THEY ROCK,,,,only used one so far!!! so not much is going on down there,,,,,,,,, which I'm very glad about!!! :) SORRY, LADIES,,,,,,,,,,,, about these details,,,, I think the anesthesia is still in effect,, or I'm just rambling :) ;) The doc gave me a narcotic for pain,,, I took one when I got home,,,, I should have stayed away from it, because I have no pain,,, but my head is spinning,,,,,,, I finally ate around 1:30pm,,, I was starving,,,, My head is still spinning,,,, so I'm sitting on the couch, till it wears off, hopefully soon,,, I'm also on an Antibiotic to prevent infection,,and another pill, that will lessen the bleeding,,,That is it in a nutshell,,,, so All is Well,,, No Worries!!! ~~~~ I will keep YOU ALL in my Prayers,,,God Bless You All, and PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE,,, DON'T GIVE UP,,,, LOVE, Tia

I am sorry for your losses. I lost a baby in 2003 and had a D/C. I am now pregnant again and everything is going well, with God's help. It took me 1 year and 8 months to get pregnant again. For the past few months I have been taking natural herbs and female hormones, and I think they help me to concieve and make my body strong to have a baby. Good luck to all of you and don't loose the faith.

sorry, i couldn't update sooner...i just came home from the hospital... i went back to the doctor a week later after i posted this question here. what we saw was just an empty sac...baby was gone...i misscarried. i didn't have any symptom like cramping or brown discharge. after the u/s then i started bleeding but still no cramping or clots or anything. the doctor also told me that i had almost 10in. big cyst. he strongly suggested for d&c and remove the cyst. so i had both on last wednesday. everything went well. i should be healthy and reaady to be pregnant again in few months. it's very hard to deal with "losing baby"..it hurts, i feel like some one is digging my hurt out...i can't stop crying...but i know it happenes to many women. i just hope this pain will go away soon. and hope i can have a healthy baby someday and help other women who goes thru this... i hope all the women come here have a happy ending... good-luck. and thank you for all the response i've got.

May I know you are hurting now and that will last for a little while I know cause I had a mc at the begining of the year I was at 7wks and it was very painful but I waited about 4 months and now I am 19wks with a healthy baby....I just took the first loss as there was something wrong and my body knew this a took care of it, now I have had a level 2 sono on 9/2 and saw that I have a 9oz baby boy who is doing great so far so just don't give up hope have yourself a good cry and then move on.....you will never forget but it will be easier soon good luck to you....
