Q: I'm Certain I Lost My Baby...

Well girls, yesterday night I had massive bleeding followed by cramps and soon after a very large clot passed. Before sunday I took two pregnancy tests that both came out negative. Before the clot passed I assumed I was having my period, the amount of blood was about the same amount I get on my heavy day, and there were cramps that felt just like my period cramps. Not even a half an hour later I passed a very large clot that I wasn't able to keep (t.M.I.), about the size of a quarter, I looked at it closely but wasn't really able to decipher whether it was a membrane, tissue, or just clotted blood. Because of this incident I backed out of tellin my family i'm pregnant. Because i'm about 85% positive i'm not anymore. I was crushed. I'm still going to attend my doctor's appointment on friday just to be sure, but I think that was it girls. It was the means to the end. I really wanted to have this child, but it seems god has different plans for me... Sad

I'm so sorry about this Sad you will need to go to the hospital so that the can do a scan to determine if it's miscarriage & then possibly do a d&c

I'm so sorry this pregnancy didn't happen for you! I'm sure there is better timing for this if it didn't happen this time. Don't worry. We're always here for you.

Thanks alot guys. Unfortunately since I have no health insurance, i'd rather wait until my appt to verify whether a miscarriage took place. I know that's probably not the best thing to do, however I owe my local hospital over $1000 already from going to the emergency room, I can't afford to have that procedure done there that would just put me further in the hole. I'm pretty sure it will be awhile before you girls hear me saying i'm expecting again, since this one was unplanned, i'm positive my fiancee' won't be willing to actually try to get pregnant. He's got his mind made up he doesn't want the extra right now. Which I understand because we're in no position to raise a child right now with how screwed up our living situation is, but we were willing to make it work with this child, now it's gone, and now i'm back to wishing and pondering about what if. I hate that feeling. But i'll be okay, thanks for all your support girls.

Oh, hun, I am so sorry. I understand what you mean about hospital expenses, but if you have had a miscarriage, you need to have a d&c. You could have infection, and if it gets bad enough, you may have trougle getting pregnant again. I am worried about your health! Please go to the hospital! Let us know what happens

love,
megan

Can her doc give her one at her appointment? Or do you have to have it done at the hospital?

I'm pretty sure they would refer me to another clinic that does it if they don't do it there. I just really can't afford to go to a hospital. Unfortunately, I have the mindset that the damage is done whether I go to the hospital or wait until friday for my Dr. Appt, sounds harsh, but that's how i'm feeling right now. I had a lot of complications after my whole abortion fiasco in 2001, every since then i've had no control of what happens to my body, and that get's more than frustrating. When I got pregnant again it was more a relief than anything because for a long time me and my man though I was unable to conceive. I'm kinda afraid to tell him I want to try again, because it took so long for him to be comfortable with this pregnancy, and now the pain of losing the baby, and attempting to have another... It's all just so complicated right now. When I go to the doc, hopefully I don't have anything too bad as far as infection wise, I wouldn't doubt that I still have the bacterial infection from the abortion. Which sucks. But is cureable. Again thanks for your support everybody, it may be awhile before you hear from me again, i'll be sure to update you on the doc appt though, but I need some me time to cope with this incident...

You should call your doc, and tell them what happened, friday is too far.

I'm sorry Crying or Very sad . God has different plans!! Hah, so I guess we are all a bunch of puppets in his little show, never mind our plans!! Anyway sorry, maybe if worst comes to worst, a surrogate? I heard abortions do mess up ability to carry a baby a little bit. I would wait to try again because if you have another miscarriage it may make it virtually impossible to have a baby. You have to give your uterus time to heal.

I'm so sorry for your lost. I had 2 miscarriages before having my daughter, so I know how you feel. But the only problem is I didn't go to the doctor and get a d&c, but I advise you to go and get checked out.

Everything happens for a reason, its just gods way of saying that you are not ready for the responsibility.
