Hey everyone I posted a few times today
about seeing my OB and being concerned
about not hearing a heartbeat at 16wks.
Well I went for my ultrasound this evening
because I just new that something wasn't
right.
Well I was right. All this time I thought
that I was 18wks, then today my OB tells
me I'm actually 16wks when in fact the
baby died at 9wks. I was all by myself
when I was told and my dh doesn't even
know yet because he isn't home from work
yet. I can't believe that I have gone all
this time thinking that I was having a
baby. I am even wearing maternity clothes
because my uterus is measuring 16wks. My
OB said that that was because it is filled
with blood. I don't even know how I am
going to tell my 5 year old, she was so
excited about this baby.
So tonight I have to take those lovely
pills that make you cramp like hell (so I
have read). I am not looking forward to
passing the sac and fetus. I am really
scared to see it. For anyone who has been
through this please warn me about what to
expect after I take those pills.
thank you and I never thought that I would
be going through this. I found out today
that the baby was probably conceived on
the same day that my aunt had her
baby.(The one that I donated the egg for)
How ironic.

i went through this i had to take those
pills at about 9 weeks because the baby
would have been born with major problems
or stillborn (taking lots of pain pills at
the time for extremly infected wisdom
tooth, tripling dosages. didn't know i was
preggy) anyhow if the baby stopped
developing at 9 weeks you should not see
much, my tip just don't look for the baby
like i did. I know how you feel and i
offer you my sympathy and lots of hugs. I
just went through another natural
miscarriage at the end of may as well. if
you are worried about seeing the baby did
the doctor give you the option of a
d&c? HUgs!
Thank you for your response BabyFutak. I
chickened out and didn't take the pills. I
went in for a D&C yesterday and it was
a good thing because I really started
bleeding so I knew that it was going to
happen at anytime.
I am sorry for both of your losses. I wish
that we never had to go through this.
After reading your post about taking pain
pills it made me think because right
around the time that I was 9wks I was
taking Tylenol 3's and 600 mg of ibuprofen
because I needed to have a root canal.
Everyone (doctors) told me that it was
safe but I was taking an awful lot of
pills so I can't help but wonder if that
caused the baby to die. When I was 6.5wks
the baby had a nice strong heartbeat. I
know that I can't blame myself but I am
only human and cannot help not to think
about it.
I am fine at times than at other times I
can't stop crying. I can't believe how
empty I feel. My body looks and feels like
I just had baby, I think that that makes
it even harder.
I have a question, How long did you wait
before trying again

Honestly when I had yo take the pills it
was 1 year because this was an oppsies
baby with my ex and we wanted it but we
didn;t want to try again after losing it.
Um with teh recent miscarriage we tried
right away but then again we didn;t have
d&c althought we should have waited.
rigfht now I am in my tww and It is
killing me lol!

I just realized you posted somthing about
you aunt well I also had a similar
occurance with the last pregnancy About 3
days after misscarring I was told my
hubbys cousins wife was pregnant and that
her due date was the same exact day I had
calculated mine to be. I hate when things
like that happen. Its like everyone around
you is getting what they want and your in
the dust. Trust me dear I know and I feel
for you. Huggles!
