You all really did make a difference! Thank you!

[dani21496]

Just wanted to thank you all for the kind words, emails and private messages. You don't know how much they helped.

I ended up waiting about another week (after I found out there was no heartbeat) and the miscarriage finally started. I went to my doctor and scheduled a D&C for the day before Thanksgiving.

I was actually 10 weeks pregnant but the baby stopped growing at 6w4d. I didn't know this until I went back to doctor. The night before the D&C I was hunched over in pain for about 3 hrs. and miscarried about 90%. DH was wonderful and held me the whole time I was hurting. I kind of considered that pain a way of bonding with my baby. Even though I thought I was going to die, I'm glad now that I had that moment in time. It just reinforced to me that my pregnancy was real. I went to the hospital and still needed the D&C for the other 10%. I had never had surgery before or been put under in a hospital like that and was terrified, but everyone there was very kind to me. They took good care of me.

Thanksgiving, we just stayed home but it was still nice.

Tomorrow is my follow up appointment, but I just wanted to let you all know that I will be okay. Without all of you here, I know I'd be much worse off!

The idea is to die young as late as possible.

Dani,
Thank you in posting this update. <<<HUGS>>> to you and to your family. I am thrilled that you had that bonding time with your baby to say your painful and private goodbyes. I'm sure it was emotionally hard to do this.

HUGS!!!!

[TarHeelMom]

Dani, I'm so sorry for what you and DH went through, but also so glad that you experienced that moment of bonding and of feeling that your pregnancy was real. Even though this baby wasn't meant to be born, the fact that you acknowledged your baby's life is an immensely honorable tribute to that little being's brief existence.

I will keep all three of you in my prayers, and I hope that in this holiday season you and your husband will find renewed joy.
