Hey there. Just wanted to post an update that after my m/c last week, it ended up that I had some retained placenta and ended up having an emergency d&c on Wednesday of this week. It was very scary when the bleeding started. It was very, very heavy and started without warning(while I was at the YMCA). I had wanted to avoid a D&C at all costs, so I was really upset when I was left without a choice. I was really losing a lot of blood and my OB wasn't willing to wait and see if it stopped.
Anyway, now 3 days later I am starting to feel sort of back to normal. This has just been a hell of a couple of weeks. I just want the physical past of this to be done.
Emotionally I thought I was doing pretty good until today. I was cleaning out an old desk and found my u/s pics from my last PG taken at 10 weeks(what I would have been today). It seems like a small thing, but it just really shook me up. And pissed me off. That's how big my baby should be now!! Anyway, I put the pics away and have been trying to have a "normal" day. Hope everyone else is doing ok! Stacy

Stacy, Sorry to hear that you ended up with a D & C when you didn't want one. I'm sure that it's been an exhausting couple of weeks for you emotionally & physically. I know what you mean about the U/S pictures. I feel that way when I see babies the age that mine should be! Hang in there! We're here if you need someone to lean on or to vent to. ((((HUGS))))
Take Care!

Thanks you guys:-) It has been quite a rollercoaster these past few weeks. It is just so easy to let myself get soooo down about everything. But I know, at the same time, that I still have to be here for my two sons and my husband. The only thing that has helped, at least for me, is to get outside and get some exercise. Even though all I can do is walk, it still seems to really help lift my mood and keep me sane! DH and I were going to go to a movie tonight, but I talked him into just going to the park and walking with me instead. It turned out to be a great time for us to just talk, and cry, and spend time together withou having to be distracted by the kids or the phone ringing or the TV, etc...I think we will have to do that more often!

Stacy, Sounds like a great night with your DH! I think we could all use a night like that sometime! I know what your saying about walking! I feel like I can really get my head together if I can get out for a good walk. Hang in there!
((((HUGS))))

Hi Stacy~ I am so sorry for your situation, and I really sympathize with your feelings right now. I was diag. w/ a B/O at about 9 wks. and tried wanted to m/c naturally. After waiting several more weeks the Dr. felt it was best to go for the D&C. I went in for surgery last Friday and have taken a full week to really start to feel myself physically again. I'm still having light bleeding off and on and my OB said I would for another week likely. I too, thought I was all right emotionally, but I found myself in crying jags off and on at strange times of the day. Just doing dishes in my kitchen and it hit me that my pregnancy was gone. Seeing people with babies is hard sometimes too, like today at the store. But, as time passes I am feeling much better emotionally. You will too! I promise! Getting back to my normal routine, and to the gym for some light work outs has really, really helped. Being out and about is good too. It does get better!!! Hang in there, and know there are many who care very deeply about your situation.
Hugs~ Erin
