My Uncommon Birthstory

My first born was born January 18, 2018. My second baby was due December 22, 2018, only 11 months apart. I was so excited to find out my children would be close in age and possibly best friend forever. But, Saturday, April 28th only two weeks after our first positive I started bleeding and cramping. I knew something was wrong, but was fighting the urge to go the ER. We figured we could just call Monday mornings. Come Sunday night we were at church and I felt a sudden sharp pain in uterus so I went to the bathroom. I checked the toilet just in case and saw a small piece of tissue. I went to the ER and was there from about 8 until almost 2am. They told me everything looked fine, but it was hard to tell since it was too early to see a heartbeat. Monday morning I was in more pain and had more bleeding, but I refused to go to the hospital because I didn’t want them to tell everything was fine when I knew it wasn’t. By Tuesday morning the bleeding and pain had become excessive and I had clots bigger than I had ever seen before, I knew something was horribly wrong. I told my husband I would wait until after I was done at work and call him to pick me up so we could go to the ER. When we first got there the Dr and nurses seemed to think I was over reacting because I had just been there Sunday. Well, by the end of my visit they finally believed me. They did a blood test, ultrasound, and pee test very quickly this time trying to show me everything was the same as last time, but when we got the results back they knew I was right. The ultrasound Sunday showed the gestational sac still in the uterus(estimated 5w 1d along, a week behind my first ultrasound) and my ultrasound Tuesday showed no gestational sac. My HCG levels Sunday were high for far along my Sunday ultrasound said I was, but by Tuesday my HCG had jumped 5000. After they did the pelvic examination they confirmed that I had miscarried. This was the most painful news I had ever received and physically and mentally I was in extreme pain and was exhausted. The process over the last 5 days has been so much more painful then giving birth to a full term baby. I didn’t even know this process was this physically exhausting and painful until I experienced it. Women, DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU, YOUR MISCARRIAGE IS LESS THAN A BIRTH!! My baby was born at 6weeks 2days between April 28 & May 1st. When was yours born?
