Last Tuesday we had our first ultrasound. We were 8 weeks and 5 days. Our baby was measuring exact to date but they didn’t see a heartbeat on our vaginal ultrasound. My whole life came crashing down. I asked to give it a week and to go back and get a second opinion a week later. Today, I went in and again, we saw our baby and there was no heartbeat and the growth stopped at 8 weeks and 5 days. Definitely confirmed a missed miscarriage. I opted for the D&C; because I know I could not go through waiting for it to happen naturally and see and feel everything coming out. My D&C; is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I am so heart broken and nervous for the surgery and to say a final goodbye to my first pregnancy.

I really hope I am able to heal from this heartbreak and able to start trying soon again for our rainbow.
