Just lost our rainbow baby
We lost our first at 16 weeks in March. Got pregnant again, went in for our first ultrasound a week and a half ago and the baby should have been 7w6d but was measuring 4w3d. Dr thought our dates could be off and had us back in for a rescan this past Monday - baby had grown from a yolk sac to a yolk sac with a fetal pole and a tiny heartbeat. Dr said unlikely that the baby would make it - gave us less than 50% chance - but we still had a tiny bit of hope. Went in for blood work Tuesday. Tuesday night I had a tiny bit of brown spotting - dr office said don't worry about it - normal. Wednesday morning there was a little more, and by Wednesday afternoon there was red. Dr office said if I started to cramp or bleed through more than a pad an hour to call back.
Well at about 1am I started getting awful cramps and vomiting - and a lot of blood. Continued til about 5am when I'm 99% sure I passed the tiny gestational sac. I called the on. All nurse and she told me to go to the ER but I chose not to - I wasn't bleeding through pads and I knew there was no stopping this.
Had blood work done again this afternoon and a follow up appt on Monday when the dr said we will discuss meeting with a high risk specialist.
I am so sad, angry, and disappointed. I'm one of the less than 1% to lose in 2nd trimester, now again in a tiny minority to have a 2nd miscarriage In a row. I'm beginning to lose hope of having a baby. I'm 34.
