Miscarriage... 1st pregnancy.... in need of guidance..

Bailey

I went for my first ultrasound on the 5th and was excited and nervous all at once. We started the session and the doctor found our little angel and started taking measurements. She said she couldn’t find a heartbeat and the baby was measuring between 6-7 weeks instead of 8-9. I was concerned of course and she said well we will just go downstairs and have the other ultrasound technician do two more ultrasounds and do a blood test to check your levels. I agreed, she printed off two pictures for us and I went to the lab. I got my blood drawn and a different person took two more ultrasounds. We sat in the waiting room as the ultrasound tech sent them to another doctor and that doctor sent them to my doctor. The tech then came out with a phone with my doctor on the other line and she told me my baby stopped growing and there is no heart beat. My heart is broken as I had just wrapped my mind around being a mom and it’s been ripped from me. I feel like a piece of me is gone even tho I only carried this little pea for a short amount of time.

Measurement said 7w0d

Measurement said 6w5d

I am now very scared about this miscarriage... this would have been my first baby so this is all new... my doctor told me to come in to the office Monday and chose if I want to go threw this naturally or take medication to start the process.. I’m not sure what to do. I’ve had no bleeding and cramping since I was 4 weeks pregnant. If you have any advice on how to mentally and physically recover from this please help.

Also, I have decided to get on birth control after this experience. I have depression issues I need to work threw and I need to get my life together and work threw this loss. I was on the patch (took it off because my hormones were crazy and wasn’t using protection hence pregnancy) it worked very well for the 3 years I used it. I’ve been thinking about T shape the is inserted in your lady parts, has anyone had any experience with those?

Thank you in advance for your support and guidance!
