On Thanksgiving I learned I was having a baby. Yesterday, I lost one.
I'm wondering if anyone here has any advice on getting closure after a miscarriage. I was 8 weeks. Last week, I had an ultrasound and the tech told me everything was fine. I didnt see a doctor officially. She just came out in the waiting room and told me not to worry, everything looked good even though there was no heartbeat. Five days later, I go in for another ultrasound and the ultrasound tech tells me I have a 75% chance of miscarriage and she sends me out a back door to leave. I never saw a doctor. No explaination was given. The next day, after a sleepless night of panicking, I don't hear anything from the practice so I decide to call and I'm out through to a doctor who spoke to me for three minutes to tell me I've lost the pregnancy and I'll need surgery the following day. It was yesterday. A blighted ovum. This was my first pregnancy.. It feels like a nightmare I can't wake up from. Thank you for allowing me to share my story. I welcome any advice on how to move on. Thank you.

Hang in there, I know it's hard my first pregnancy was a blighten ovum too about three years ago, I got pregnant two cycles later with a healthy boy. And last April I had a d & c. So after two miscarriages out of three pregnancies I'm constantly worried. I just told myself it wasn't meant to be and I try to be grateful for all the positive things in my life and I have an extremely supportive family.

Meredithgrey i share your sorrow...my baby had its heartbeat at 7 weeks n when at 11 weeks i saw doc i was told my baby's heart stopped probably at 9weeks 4days...
I was told it might have happened due to chromosomal abnormality or some trauma...i didnt go thru any trauma during my pregnancy so am sure that cant be the reason..its been almost a year i havnt conceived since...scared heart broken but hvnt lost hope...i feel i am bein punished its one of those karma things...
My dear there is no better healer than time...theres no better counsellor than you yourself...hang in there dear
Lots of strength ur way ..love
