Still grieving from miscarriage

Tweet

About 5 years ago I was pregnant and I knew this time it was a boy from my symptoms. I have 2 girls and did not have nausea, heartburn or cravings with either of their pregnancies but with this one I had all those symptoms. My husband and I were very excited. At about 3 1/2 months I started spotting and went to the emergency room. I was told by the doctors after having a sonogram done that I was having a miscarriage because their was no fetal heartbeat and if I returned the next day they would perform a D&C which is a scraping of the uterine lining. When I returned the following day, they did another sono and told me that the baby was still there but they could not perform the procedure because the doctor was not in and to come back the next day. Each day they repeated the sonogram and told me the same thing for various reasons. Every night I cried myself to sleep and could barely function knowing that I had a dead baby inside me. It hurt so bad and I could not understand why the doctors would not perform the procedure. On the 5th day when they were finally going to do it they told me that my body had rejected the fetus so they no longer had to. Exactly a year later, I received a hospital bill for over $6,000 for doctor's examinations and sonograms performed. I called them and told them they would not be getting a penny out of me after all I went through. They did not do anything for me! Every so often like today I think of this experience and get very emotional. My son would be almost 5 now and I imagine how he would look like and how he would act. I still grieve because I feel like I was wronged by the hospital and it makes me very bitter.
