Even though this post (and previous ones) are raw with emotion, as one who has suffered four miscarriages, it is comforting to know I'm not alone in my thoughts and grief. It is devastating to lose a child, no matter if you were lucky enough to hold them in your arms or not. I will keep you in my prayers as you walk the path to physical and emotional healing.

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 02:10:01 +0000 http://www.bosssanders.com/?p=1926#comment-6709 I found your blog randomly and just wanted to tell you that I understand what you are feeling. I found out on May 3rd of this year that I was pregnant - this would have been our 2nd. What joy I felt! My practitioner doesn't like to see anybody until closer to 10 weeks, so my first appt. was scheduled for May 28. A couple of days after my joy, things just didn't feel right mentally, but physically, everything was still good. I had this bad feeling, but thought I was being paranoid. A few days later, I had slight cramps, but nothing major. I had some light spotting, which freaked me out, but again, nothing major. I went in for HCG tests and everything was good! My numbers were increasing. I continued to spot off and on until May 28. I knew in my heart that something was wrong, but I wanted to be wrong! No heartbeat on the doppler and then no baby on the ultrasound. There was a sac, but nothing else. I'm told that I'm miscarrying, have miscarried, and that's it is most likely a blighted ovum. Even though I suspected it, the news crushed me. I felt like a train ran over me and than a ton of bricks fell on me. (I had to endure several of those "what not to say" phrases from good intentioned friends) Then I have to get more HCG tests, but they aren't dropping! That gives me hope that maybe my dates were off or maybe the baby was behind the sac. I have to go for a more fancy ultrasound a week later, but the sad news was confirmed. A week later, I ended up in the ER because my body would not stop bleeding and my blood pressure was dropping WAY too low and I was fainting. I know this was a long comment and I haven't even told a lot of friends about this, but your blog touched me. I wanted to share my story with you since mine happened shortly before yours. I am so sorry. I wish you didn't have to go through this. I wish nobody did. I have a lot of emotions, too, and I worry about trying again. It scares me to think that this could happen again. Time has passed, but I still have rough days. I have days where I cry and days where seeing babies makes me weep. It just makes me realize what I've lost. I feel like my baby was a girl. I call her Faith. It took so much of my faith to get me through all of it. I do believe that God has a purpose in all of this, even if we can't see what that purpose is right now.
