Miscarriage of Baby # 10

Well getting to 12 w 6 days should have been a time to relax and begin really enjoying my pregnancy. It was not the case. On Friday afternoon I had coughed and sort of choked and so I coughed hard. I pulled a ligament in the lower left of the abdomin and figured it would ease in a bit. After several minutes it did not and cramping became painful enough I was a bit worried. I went to the bathroom and there was blood, not alot, but enough to know something was wrong. Then it stopped. It did it again in the middle of the night.

Saturday I decided to go to the ER to find out what was going on. I knew when I left there I would know one way or the other about the baby. After 5 hours it was determined that I had what they call fetal demise. So I was losing the baby. I asked them could they tell about when it stopped developing and it was at 8 weeks when I had the flu. That was a bit hard to take for me. I had been worried for weeks about this.

So now It is 3 days later and I am still trying to pass the baby. I don't know how long this will take though. I have an appointment on the 22 for ultrasound and at that time we will decide what steps need to be taken.

11 weeks 5 day

I've been anxious since 8 weeks along. I had the flu and ran a fever. I did all I could to get well quickly. I drank plenty of water, Took Tylonal every 4 hours, and stayed in the bed. It took almost 2 weeks before I felt better. I was never so sick.

I am waiting for insurance to go through so that I can make an appointment to see the Dr. I so want to hear this baby's heart beating.

Hopefully after taxes come, I can get a doppler to monitor the baby when ever I want. You would think with this being my 10th pregnancy I would not sweat it...sigh
