I found out I was pregnant in mid January. The end of January I wound up in the er with stomach pains. After several hours there and various tests, my diagnosis was gastritis and a blighted ovum. They suggested that I have a D&C and scheduled a follow up appointment. At the follow up the doctor kept pushing the D&C.. I remained adamant in the fact that I would not be doing that. I told her that if I was in fact going to have this miscarriage that she kept saying I was going to have, then I'd wait until my body decided to do so. She basically just pushed off all of my thoughts, concerns, and questions. Then she scheduled me for a blood test to check my levels to show me "nothing was growing" there. I went to have the test done and a few hours later they called me to inform me that my levels had more than doubled and could I come in for an ultrasound that afternoon. Well I went in and low and behold my ultrasound showed a healthy 7 week baby....

Fast forward to today...

I'm sitting here on my couch with my "blighted ovum/inevitable miscarriage" laying on my chest peacefully sleeping after having a pre-midnight snack lol.

Had I listened to these doctors just because they are doctors, I'd have killed my daughter. Please ladies... also trust your gut and do research as well. You don't have to take a diagnosis as 100% correct just because they went to medical school and you didn't... hell, even if you did as well.

(These pictures were 3 days ago lol... I only add that because while she is sleeping... I love these pictures
