I lost my baby.
On Friday morning I woke up with some spotting. I had some cramping during the week and it felt as though it was getting stronger, but everyone assured me that it was normal, it was my uterus growing, etc..etc… Nevermind the fact that my back was cramping too, I just hoped for the best. Still, on Friday the spotting freaked me out bad enough that I asked my husband to take me to the ER. So we went and we waited. I got an IV, they did pelvic exams, the spotting stopped, everything was looking normal. Then they did the ultrasound. It took forever to get the results back and I started getting antsy.
Eventually the doctor came in. I could tell just from looking at his face that he was bringing bad news. He told me that even though I was 8 weeks, 3 days, the baby had stopped developing at 6 weeks, 2 days. I was going to need a D&E. All I could do was cry. I have never been more shattered in my life.
