    ths probably isnt gonna make much sense as im still in shock and bawling as i write this. i just have to get it out. im scared to talk about it but it happened. my worst fear came true. yesterday we were suppose to see our little baby for the first time, at 9 weeks at a routine visit.. as soon as the ultrasound started, i new something was wrong, the lady got very quiet and just kept looking arond on teh screen. then  i asked her if evverything was ok and she siad the baby was measuring small. i knew what that meant and asked her how small. baby stopped growing at 7 weeks and my fetal pole ( i dunno if thats correct, my head hurts) stopped at 6 weeks. no heartbeat found.... my baby died 2 weeks ago, inside me and i had no idea. how does taht happen?? how did i not know? i was 9 weeks nad feeling good, i wsa suppose to soon be in the 2nd trismester. we had plans and names and hopes. im lost. it was suppose to be such a great day yesterday and it turend out to be the worst.

    im mad at my body for betraying me- why couldnt it give me a sign that i lost my baby. i had no cramps, spotting bleeding or anything that would single anything was wrong. i was still getting morning sickness, throwing up, heart burn all this week...... i just dont understnad it al. it wouldnt of been so bad if i had a heads up but i expected to see our baby and now nothing. i have to go and get a ultrasound on monday ( this bothers me, every ultrasound i have had now has shown me what i lost, nad i have to see my dead baby on monday) and then get a d and c (im scared, i have no idea what to expect) as im not miscarrying on my own and probably wont. i just want to get hte procedure over with.

    me adn my hubby are heartbroken, crying and a mess. he s been an amazng support. we just lay here holding each other in shock and cry... but ive never experienced a pain this harsh and real. I cant sleep its all i think about. i woke up and jjust stared bawling ths mornng as soon as i opened my eyes. all oru plans our child is gone.. i just want my baby back. i wont get to meet it or hold it. or know if it wa  aboy or girl. i have a child but no nothing about him or her.
    We love this baby so mcuh. the pain jhurts so bad. we miss our baby (which i know sounds weird but its so true) we both felt so cloe to it and now our baby is gone. why? why, i read that a missed misscarriae happen to 1% of people. how dd we end up on those odds?
    how do i deal with this? the pain is unbearable right now.  how do i move forward? please anyone whos been there please give me advice bc i dont know waht to do.... i feel so broken and empty. We just feel so cheated, and hurt and sad and mad. i feel so man emotions at once. i just kept thinking of how things wer suppose to go yesterday and then how they really went and im in shock. i just need some support right now, im lost sorry if this sounds harsh or something im just so upset an broken

    I am so sorry for your loss.

    Losing a baby is one of the most emotionally painful things to deal with. Not only is it supposed to be such an exciting time that suddenly turns to grief--you are also filled with extra hormones that turn on you making it even more painful.

    As someone who has been there, all I can say is let yourself grieve. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed to cry.

    Sometimes I would even drive somewhere quiet so I could cry alone.

    It sounds like your hubby is being wonderful, please continue to find strength in him, too.

    My condelences to you and your hubby.

     

    ETA: As you'll see on many of the other miscarriage threads on here, someone has to make up the bad numbers, unfortunately. The only things you can do now are grieve, and when you are ready try again. Try not to stress out about your first loss. You will never forget this baby.

     

    I found this on the bee at it helped me:

    Buddhist's believe that miscarried and stillborn babies are already fully enlightened souls who just need to touch the earth and be loved and wanted for a brief moment before they can reach Nirvana.

    I am so sorry and it's not strange that you would feel so much loss and pain.  I'm not sure if this will make you feel better but 10-20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage and it usually happens because of chromosomal abnormalities that would make it impossible for the baby to survive.

    It's terrible but it happens to a lot of women and you could not have done anything to prevent it.  As awful as you feel right now, it's not only normal, you need to grieve. And eventually you will have a baby to love one day.

    I'm so very sorry for your loss. This can be a very difficult and confusing time.

    I have had 2 miscarriages, one at 10 weeks, and I fully understand what you are going through. I went in for an unltrasound as well and found out at that time. My body also did not start to go through the miscarriage and I had a D&C.  I had to wait 6 days and for those six days (and a few days after) I stayed in bed crying. The second time my body did go through the miscarriage process on it's own. For what it's worth the D&C procedure was mentally easier. 

    If you have any questions or just need to talk to someone about what you're going through, before or after the procedure, feel free to PM me.

    I'm so so so so so sorry honey. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) My sister went through a miscarriage recently, she was about 10 weeks along. She said something to me that really stuck with me, "I'd rather have some tears now to get through this than a life time of tears ahead of me if there was something wrong with this baby and it was born unhealthy." I thought that was very brave and honest of her. Sending lots of love your way sweetie.

    First off I would like to say how sorry I am and how much it sucks.  I had a miscarriage in March and I felt everything you have said.  It took some time for me to grieve and it def. helps to have people around you supporting you or just there for you to cry to.  I felt very much alone and empty, but as each day passed it got a little better.  I don't think we will ever feel 100% better because I believe they were our babies regardless of how small and what others believe.  Please ignore all the stupid people out there who will say things like "oh god needed them more" or "good thing it happened early" and blah blah those people don't help and I just felt like punching them.  I did find a site called dailystrength.org that really helped me and there was a whole community of people going through the same thing as me.  DH and I just started to TTC again and I feel ready for it, but I will never forget my baby that could have been.  I hope this helped comfort you a little and if you need to PM me I will help in any way I can.  I ended up bleeding pretty bad and had to have an emergency D&C so If you have any questions regarding that I will also answer any you have.  I also want you to know and you may not believe it now but you did not do anything wrong to cause this so please do not blame yourself. Again I am so sorry.

    I'm very sorry for your loss.  I also had a miscarriage yesterday, although mine was a little earlier and happened naturally.  I had had a normal ultrasound two days before it happened and had a hard time grasping what went wrong in just two days!

    Continue to lean on your husband and family and friends for support, do what you need to do to get through this grieving process and before you know it, you'll be able to try again.  That is definitely what is keeping me going is thinking of the future and being able to try again and have a healthy baby.  I won't be having a March baby afterall, but with a little luck I might just have a July baby ;)

    It takes a long time for pregnancy hormones to work their way out of your system - that is why you were still having symptoms. No need to be mad at your body - it is pre-programmed to respond in specific ways to different stimuli. The baby almost certainly had a genetic abnormality that meant it could not continue to live. It is so common! My mom had 3 miscarriages and 2 very healthy babies. You just have to hang in there and try again!

    (and you said a missed misscarriage "only" happens to 1% of people. Do you know 100 women? Because that is 1 in 100. Medically speaking, that is actually *really* common. You are not alone!)

    Oh, honey. I'm so sorry! Of course you feel cheated! You didn't know anything was wrong, and you weren't expecting it. I wish I had more to say, but I have only read about the missed Miscarraige and don't think I can make you feel better. I wish I could. I will be thinking about you!  I am so so so sorry! = ( *hugs* P

    I am so sorry!  What you're feeling is completely normal, so don't try to shy away from it.

    As far as the D&C, it's really not so bad.  Emotionally, of course it's awful, but physically, it's nothing to be afraid of.  2PeasinaPod wrote about hers if you wanted to go back and read the thread just so you know what to expect.

    I know it's awful now, but it will get easier.  Give yourself plenty of time to grieve and heal, and continue finding support in your husband.  We're here if you need anything.

    I am so sorry for your loss.

    Find strength in your hubby when you are feeling down.  Take time to grief, cry, get mad --all of these emotions are normal.

    I know you may not feel it now, but you will eventually find the strength to keep trying, and you will one day have the family you want and deserve.

    hugs

    I'm so sorry for your loss! I also had a missed miscarriage. I went in for my 12 week apt. and they couldn't find a heartbeat, so I had an ultrasound and she said my baby had passed at 6 weeks. I had 6 weeks of thinking my baby was inside of me growing, but he wasn't. It was the most awful experience ever. It takes time to grieve, and even after getting pregnant again and having a baby girl, I'm still not over the loss of my first and don't think I ever will be.

    But I promise things do get better, life will go on, and hopefully you'll also be able to get pregnant again and have a healthy pregnancy. We started TTC right when my doctor said I was allowed again, and got pregnant on the first try. Now my baby girl is 2 weeks old.

    I am so sorry for your loss - I've had several friends suffer miscarriages and stillbirths in the past year. And what I've learned from them is that people who don't understand what you and your husband are going through will say the wrong thing, but their hearts will be in the right place. And beyond grieving for the lost little one, it's important to communicate with your husband about what you're feeling, and hear what he's feeling and that will help keep you both, and your marriage, strong.

    *Hugs* to you! I'm so sorry for your loss and can't begin to imagine how you must feel.

    I hope this doesn't make you too afraid to keep trying in the long run. I don't know if this will help, but my cousin had a missed miscarriage when they went in to find out the baby's gender. They still love and miss that baby very much even though they never got to hold her. After a lot of grieving my cousin and her husband decided to try again. They've now had two healthy pregnancies and just welcomed their second daughter. Just remember that there is hope for future babies to be born healthy and happy into this world by you.
