My story
My S/O and I were so excited about becoming pregnant. We immediately told our family and loved ones, & started getting ready for this exciting knew change. Everything was going great, I had minor symptoms mainly sore breasts and not to mention they had gone up a size.. Or two. But I was embracing all the changes and felt complete, all I ever wanted was to be pregnant and become a mom. I was 10 weeks 3 days and noticed some brown discharge when wiping and called the Dr and was told it was normal just to take it easy. So I did, the next day I noticed bright red blood when wiping and immediately freaked out and rushed to the ER they did some exams they found I had a hemorrhage between the placenta and my uterus and that was were the bleeding was from and checked my HCG levels and said my cervix was closed to go home and rest and see the Dr to check HCG levels again in 48 hours. I didn't quite make it that long. Woke up around 5 am with horrible cramping worse than I have ever felt before and so much bleeding. We rushed to the ER and it was obvious I was in the process of a misscarriage. I was passing clots the size of softballs. I was terrified. An hour or so later I passed the sac with help of the Dr and pills I was given to dilate my cervix during the pelvic exam. I still had excessive bleeding changing pads every 20 minutes, completely soaked through and still passing very large clots every time I would sit up or stand. I wanted to try and do this naturally but by the time I had my blood levels checked again the Dr rushed me into emergency surgery (D&C) telling me my levels have dropped and they were ready for a blood transfusion if they dropped anymore during surgery. I was so scared but after surgery I had woken up with immediate relief. I am trying to cope with what happened. Going from being so excited to completely devastated is very hard. I am not looking forward to telling friends and family. I am grateful I have my sweet man next to me at every second. We will try again in a few months and hope for a better outcome.
