Sad News

Hi Everyone, I wasn't going to post this but since so many people found out about my pregnancy and spread the good word, I thought it only fair to those same well wishers to tell them my recent news. On 8/23 the same day i went to see Dr. Peters to ask about what i should be doing and not doing, i had an ultrasound scheduled the same evening...they said the fetus (they say that, I say baby) MY BABY had not grown, and to make my own conclusions about the preg. I called a new Dr. (b/c i didnt like the one i had or his staff) and saw the new doc that same day, had lab work done. On 8/30 i called to get the results hoping that the ultrasound had been wrong but it wasn't. I still had all the preg symtoms, but my hormone levels were falling slowing. The Dr. said i could wait for the miscarriage to happen on its own but i already been carrying a dead baby for 2 weeks (sorry so graphic) 8/31 had a D&E done, painless but still bleeding lightly. Dr. said we can try again, about 4 months. we were so excited, and now we have to wait to try and hell we can't even have sex at all yet.............. HAHAH Dr said 2 wait 4 weeks...........a LIFE TIME!! Christina

I am sorry to hear about your loss. Sending prayers your way Sandy

Dear Christina, Although I don't know you, I wanted to express my deepest sympathy in the loss of your baby. I too have lost a child and it was the most difficult time in my life. My daughter was born 2 months premature and passed away at the age of 4 months. The hardest thing for me, was the insensitive things that people say usually the ones closest to you. So know that sometimes people say things to make you feel better not realizing what they are saying is making you want to scream. Some of the most common were you can have another, it was God's plan, it wasn't meant to be, at least it was now not 10 years from now...etc, etc.....give yourself time to grieve and don't be afraid to acknowledge your baby. Do something to help memorialize your child such as plant a tree or buy a special momento. I started collecting angels when my daughter passed away. And when your ready to try again, miracles do happen. I have two boys that are living proof of it. If you ever want talk, you can email me at [email protected] With thoughts and prayers for you and your family, Lisa

Christina, Blessings to you and your husband. I've been through that too and it's tough. There are no words to describe how you feel. It is a TRUE loss that only time will help to heal. Even after 23 years, I still think about it at times. I'm truly thankful that I have one son (now 25) that I was blessed with. Each baby, each birth is a miracle. My heart goes out to you. Jean

So sorry about your news, Christina. Dianne

Christina. I am so sorry for your loss. I do know your pain (all too well). I also have gotten pregnant right after a miscarriage and lost that baby. Please do wait to 'try' but waiting four weeks for relations with your hubby is a little long. When you stop bleeding, your body is healing. Emotionally, that will take a very long time. If you need someone to talk to, please email me. I can point you in the direction of some support groups or some reading material. You are in my prayers. Patricia ([email protected])
