It was the beginning of one of the hardest weeks of my life. What should have been a routine midwife appointment went bad very quickly. The midwife and here student were very supportive and tried not to get me to panick when the heartbeat wasn't quickly found. They tried for a good half hour. They then sent me for an emergency ultrasound. It was during that ultrasound that it was confirmed that the little life I had created was over. It was devastating. A week later I had to undergo surgery because my body refused to let go. It was an emotional time for me. I was already changing jobs and this just made things harder. Eventually we had 2 more babies, and I wouldn't trade them for the world. But I can't help but wonder who this little one, who was with us so briefly, could have been.

Hi there - I know this is an old post from you, but I was looking for something to read about miscarriage, and found this. I am pregnant, and my doctor has told me it is not a viable pregnancy and will end up in miscarriage... now I am just waiting for it to happen... scared and sad. Thank you for sharing this. You are not alone. *hugs*

Miscarrying is devastating and in time we heal. I'm glad little ones brought joy to your life.
