Jace's Mama - sending hugs and prayers. I am so, so sorry. My heart is breaking for you, too. Give it a little time, you will know what you want to do.

2Firsty - :(

Kawaii, Mell and Phatgurl - good luck to you!

Im miserable .. can't sleep for the nightmares. My 2 yr old is trying everything he can to make me laugh but I just can't quit crying - which makes me feel even worse because that's so not fair to him.
Feel like I'm drowning, like I can't breathe.. and my heart literally hurts like its bursting open.

My pastor told me once, "It's okay to not be okay." You cry all you need to. This pain WILL ease and I promise, you WILL laugh again.
Since I heard what happened, I've been playing this song and thinking of you. The morning of my last miscarriage, I turned on the radio cause I needed to hear something besides my own cries and this was the first song I heard. You may have heard it, you may not want to listen to it yet, but it helped me more than I could imagine...

Sending you hugs Jaces mama. Did your little bean have a heartbeat still? If yes, I would wait it out and get more ultrasounds. If your baby has passed, I would opt for a D&C.

What an awful position to be in. :(

No lisserb, there was no heartbeat.. but if I do decide to do the d&c I will make them do another ultrasound first so I know 100% certain. I know I'd spend the rest of my life wondering what if if they didn't.

Jace's Mama, my heart cries for you... i wish you strenght and power to move on.

Jace's, I know there are no words to help ease your pain but please know I am praying for you :-( All of my miscarriages were well before 11 weeks and happened naturally so I can't give you any suggestions as far as what would be best. I do know from what I hear that the further along, the more painful. I really really hate that this is happening t you and your family. How is your DH?

Thank you for all your prayers girls, I really appreciate it.. I had thought that my symptoms had never lessened or let up, but yesterday when I finally accepted the fact that its gone it was like all symptoms disappeared immediately. Were they in my head, where I didn't expect anything to be wrong? I know I felt them physically but now I'm wondering if my mind made me keep feeling them since I never doubted it. I think the process is starting .. Id been getting sharp pains right above my pubic bone, nothing intense just enough to make me stop for a second til it went away. I was standing at mom's & felt like I'd started bleeding but there was nothing til I finished peeing when I squeezed there was clear looking water just pouring out. I have no idea if its going to just happen all at once or gradually or if it'll be days from now, the waiting & not knowing makes it all even harder.
And Mandy - he's having an extremely hard time. He lost it during the ultrasound before I did. Then I felt worse yesterday for snapping at him but I just needed a few minutes alone & he wouldn't let me. I know he's trying to keep me preoccupied .. he was able to laugh & play with Jace when I couldn't, that's why I was so aggravated because he can at least fake it enough to play with Jace like he needs & I can't.

I've been looking for hours trying to find more information on the whole process.. but so far all I've found is that it'll start with cramping or spotting, doesn't say anything about losing fluid first.

Jace's Mama - I've only had a D&C, so I'm not sure how the process will go, either. You are in my thoughts.
