Q: Silent Miscarriage

Well I haven't been on this site since november I think...At that time I was only 18 weeks pregnant. Now i'm babyless. Well in december at my 20 weeks I found out that my baby's heart had stop (silent miscarriage). The doctor says isnt in the genres it just bad luck. The baby was gonna be a liitle girl I even had her name pick out precious. I remember the first time I felt her kick well that what I think I felt it.
So just before chirstmas I had the baby taken out of me. It was the worse thing, I was so depressed but I didn't want my family to know but i've been thro there just use it to gossip. So I had to spend the whole chirstmas holding in my feelings in, pretending to be happy all the time. I guess it got too much for me because for the whole january I just stayed at home I never left my room. I just sat there everyday, hardlly ate, only really speaking to my boyfriend, tho I never let on how depressed I was because I didnt want him to worry. He never really showed how he felted but I know it hurt him deeply. He wanted to be a father more than anything.
The worse thing now is that our relationship is breaking down....Which I think is just making my depression worse. I'm now starting getting this terrible pains in my chest and my chest feels heavy. The pain gets worse when I breathe deeply. I never feel like eating, as it makes me feel sick, I have to force the food down.

So that my life over the past 3 months

misscarrying is never an easy thing to go through, especially since you got half way and you were started to bind with your baby. Allowing yourself to be depressed is no way to honor your little girl. I know if muct be terribly hard, and you thing it will never get bettwer, but you still need to live. You and your boyfriend are going to go through some pretty hard times. Thats a big thing to hit a relationship. Take this experiance and use it for the better. You will be strong agian someday, you just have to try to get back up on your own to make that happen. I am truely sorry for your loss, but it will get better. :)

Silent Misscarrige
Hi I lost my baby at 16 wks about 3 wks ago. I was shocked. I had amnio on friday I watched the baby pushing on me and by monday her heart stopped beating. The doc are still running test but I believe that the amnio was the cause. It is a 1 and 200 chance of misscarrige and the doc went in twice. So that would make it 1 and 100 right? Last friday the results from the amnio said that the baby was healthy.It makes me so mad that I could of cause this because I had a test to find out if my baby was healthy. Really I would of kept her reguardless. The doc said I could start after my next period. I'm looking forward to trying agian. I am so sorry for your loss but you have to pull your boot straps up and keep on going. This will pass you could buy a ring your a neckles to remember her like I did. I have this lovely aquamarine pendent that I wear everyday.I had the d&e on march 1st so aquamarine is the march birthstone. I wish you luck and I hope that you and boyfriend work things our.

I just lost my baby, a silent miscarriage I guess. The doctor told me at 13 week appt that there was no heartbeat and the baby was breaking down. It really surprised me because I have not had any bleeding or cramping and my pregnancy. But we had another ultrasound done and blood work and it all says that there is not going to be a baby. I found out I was pregnant the day before my wedding; I was so excited! But anyways, the doctor said the baby had been dead for several weeks and it has been two more weeks since the ultrasounds. I still haven't started to bleed. The doctors aren't recommending a D&C for me because I have a lot of scarring and they are afraid to make it worse. But I don't know. I am just ready to move on, and be happy again. I have very bad depression and I don't want to be hospitalized because of this. This is my second miscarriage, and my third pregnancy. I have a wonderful two year old boy that is helping me stay focused and not get so depressed. My husband is also very supportive.

I went in last week for my 12 week appt. The doctor listened for the heartbeat and couldn't find it. We weren't sure if it was really 12 weeks yet, so I didn't realize anything was amiss. They sent me for a sonogram and the technician was silent the whole time. My husband and I kept waiting for her to point out the baby in the grainy images, like they do in the movies. At the end she just asked if I had experienced any bleeding (which I hadn't). It finally sunk in that something was wrong.

The worst part is that my body kept growing and I didn't have any signs- no cramping or bleeding. Some pregnany symptoms (the exteme fatigue and nausea) did stop at 7 weeks- when the baby stopped growing- and I remember being worried enough to run to the internet and see if that is normal (it is). But I feel like my body really tricked me. We just told everyone in the past week. I guess I was stupid, but I thought that if we'd made it to 12 weeks and hadn't bled that everything was fine.

The sonogram technician also asked if I had fibroids. I have to wait until next week to see my doctor and I wonder if I will learn that that was maybe part of the problem. Fibroids are linked to miscarriage.

I'm so sad now. I cried all day yesterday and a half-dozen times today. I know I'm lucky to have my husband, who has been really sweet. He cried with me at first and now I think he's processed it. I hope he doesn't get tired of holding my hand, because I can't see feeling better any time soon.
