The D&C was actually very quick and entirely pain-free. I'm so glad I chose it over a natural m/c. We're ready to move ahead and put this behind us. It is so hard to lose a baby and the world continues to spin around you. I feel like I should be able to hit a pause button and just give myself a nice break.

Sammy--I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I remember how I felt when I found out that my son's heart had stopped beating at 22w. Just to get pg the next month and find out that my second son's heart stopped beating at 19w5d just 6 months later. I can't explain the pain and I don't think anyone should ever have to go through it. I am so sorry that you had to lose your special angel! IF you need to talk please pm without hesistation.

For what it may be worth, I understand, Knighthad. I found out on Tuesday that our baby stopped growing three weeks ago (the baby measured 9 weeks 0 days rather than 12 weeks 3 days as expected). I had a D&C Thursday morning and it was much less painful than I expected. Obviously I am devastated by my loss but the D&C was much more pleasant than allowing my body to try to m/c on it's own (that proved to be an intensely painful experience that was completely unproductive). I am praying that I will have another chance to bring a child into this world and that my next pregnancy will end more successfully.

update: i just want to thank all of you who posted in this thread. i can say that i am feeling so much better. the loss of my daughter was the worst thing that has ever happened to me and i found the most comfort in the support of other women who have also suffered the loss of a child, and knew exactly how i feel, and knew exactly what to say.
thanks again. i wish peace for you all.

Sammykins, Im so sorry about your loss. Im shocked that they didn't tell you if it was a boy or girl, but Im not sure what would have been easier for you... to know or not know at all.

I lost my baby girl this month. I had to deliver her vaginally on November 12th. She was less than 8 inches and only 4oz. I was 21 weeks. Initially, I thought I would never fight my way through this pain. My baby dying inside of me has been, by far, the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. Since I had a vaginal delivery I received 6 weeks of maternity leave (although Im only taking 1 month off. The place is falling apart w/o me) and I also received 3 days bereavement. I needed the time to myself, although it's hard to be alone with my thoughts at times. Right now, my only hope is that I may be able to conceive again. Thats what is keeping me strong right now.

Good luck to you and I pray things work out for you.

Jo Anne, I'm so sorry...((Hugs)). With my miscarriage, I started bleeding one afternoon around 2PM, ended up going to the emergency room where they did an ultrasound and found the baby hadn't grown at all in a week and there was no heartbeat, my body was starting to miscarry on it's own. They called my doctor, who came in, and gave me the option of having a D&C that night or let my body miscarry it naturally. The thought of being pregnant one morning and having everything scraped clean by that night was more than I could bear at the time. We decided to miscarry naturally. It took two weeks before I finally stopped bleeding, I think if I had it to do again, I would choose a D&C, those two weeks were the hardest I had ever had to go through.
What keeps me going is knowing that I'll see my baby again, and that she is ok up there in Heaven, and that she waits for me. Please know your little angel is surrounded by many friends!
