Hi. I’m new to this group, unfortunately. I have a 3yo son. We tried for 2 years for a second. After my husband dealt with some unforeseen health issues, we found out we were pregnant in October 2019. We were overjoyed, to say the least. I rented a fetal Doppler and last Wednesday evening could not find a heartbeat. I went to the dr the next day and another doppler and ultrasound confirmed no heartbeat. I would have been 18 weeks last Friday, though dr says baby measured around 15 weeks, which is weird to me because up until last Wednesday, I had found a heartbeat. I was induced on Saturday evening and was in the hospital for almost 72 hours. I gave birth on the 14th at 4:20 AM. I am heartbroken. I am also relieved that that part is done and we can move onto the healing and grieving process. I also have such a strong desire, already, to try again. I don’t feel that our family is complete yet. But I also want to honor our baby who cannot be here with us.

So far, dr has only gotten placenta test results back. No issues based on that.

I need to hear some hopeful stories following miscarriage. I’m 31 and feeling like I’m getting too old.

Thanks for reading
