So shocked and heart broken
Today I had a dnc at 11weeks. This is my long story...
At 5 weeks I started having severe cramps and at 5.4 I started bleeding very heavily. Hcg was being checked every 3 days which was increasing but not by a lot so I was told I may miscarry anyday. At 6 weeks I went in for an ultrasound which showed a growing baby with a heart beat at 114 and a uterine hemorrhage of less than a cm. They said everything was good, sent me home on bed rest and with a 3week appt for my first OB visit. At 9 weeks my doctor did a vaginal exam and said I was good, no more bed rest, to live a normal life and she would see me at 12wks. I was so concerned cause she didn't do another ultrasound or fetal Doppler to check for viability. I told her I was still spotting red and I thought a ultrasound was a must and she said no I was fine and to come back if I filled a pad in 1hr. Over the weekend I started to bleed heavy again so I waited until Monday to see the doctor. I saw a different doctor btw.. And she immediately did an ultrasound after the vaginal exam. Come to find out the baby stopped growing at 7weeks w/ no heart beat and It was suppose to be 11weeks. My husband and I are sooo heart broken because they continued to tell us the baby was fine and we believed it. A whole month went by of me thinking I was pregnant but I knew something was wrong and I kept meantioning it to people and all they kept saying I was being negative. My husband got so upset with me last week because I kept expressing my concerns that my pregnancy symptoms were diminishing and I was worried I wasn't pregnant anymore. All he keeps saying is "the doctor said you are fine" and to stop with the negativity. My body was not letting go of the baby so I opted to have the dnc this morning. I feel so lost and hurt inside. This pregnancy was not planned but was loved and wanted like a planned one. I have 3 older children already (youngest is 11) I didn't want anymore kids and I'm not planning to try and have another.. But now that I got pregnant im having a hard time letting that go💔 sorry this was so long I just felt like I needed to vent to someone that has been in my shoes and understands me.
