Bye Bye Baby
posted 12th Dec
This is the story of how we lost baby #3 If you choose to read, thank you.
May: I went off birth control. We started trying to conceive. I wanted our children 3 years apart and this seemed like perfect timing.
November 27: We found out that we were pregnant! Got a bright pink positive! We called the obgyn’s office, They couldn't see me for a week, but set my appointment for 12/8/12.
December 2: I took my 2 year old daughter to a parade in a neighboring town, and afterwards went to the local Wal*mart. I took my daughter to potty, and when I went to put her in the buggy, I started having SHARP pains in my abdomen, so bad that I started crying, I went straight back to my car and called my husband, he told me come home and lie down he would watch our daughter. I have had kidney stones before and it was a similar pain just much worse, so I figured it was no big deal, just rest!
December 3: Woke up to the same pain. But it was not as bad, called my mom she said that she had no suggestions but it may just be my kidney stones again.
December 7: The pain was worse, I called my mom again and asked her to come down and keep my daughter I was vomiting, and feeling like crap! I was grumpy and fussy, didn't want to talk to anyone!
December 8: Got up and went to my appointment, did the urine test and the doctor did an exam, sent me over to the hospital for blood work, and told me to come back that afternoon. I came back in at 1 and she took me straight to the back and told me that my HCg levels were too low, and that she wanted to do an ultrasound right then. I said okay, and went into the room with her. She did the ultrasound and as soon as I saw it I knew, there was no heartbeat, and the fetus was not attached due to placenta abruption, which is what had caused the pain on the previous days, but I had not bleed any which is odd! But since I had not gone in for treatment at the time and just kept going with my busy life I was feeling so guilty. The fetus had stopped development at 6 weeks and 3 days which was about the date of the abdominal pain....
I have been cramping and bleeding since Friday, and am starting to pass the larger clots now, I don't think my first miscarriage was this bad, pain wise... I was at 11 weeks with the first, and I must say this time its so much harder, we have been trying for this baby for a while now... its so hard to admit its gone already. I had to get this out. My 2 year old does not understand why mommy is so upset, it hurts to see her confused...
My daughter keeps kissing my belly and saying Bye Bye Baby...
Thanks for reading.

Quoting Carla DiFiore:" Sorry for your loss. And I know it prolly doesnt help but this wasnt your fault. It could have happen to anyone. And I'd done same thing as you if it were me. "
thanks everyone, its just so hard to go thru this again! Its only been a year and a half since the last time... its so unfair! My daughter was only 6 months old then, and I was upset, but excited, this time it was devastating! We were SO Excited, had a name picked out and everything... It sucks
