| We lost our baby ...
I wasn't sure where to post this but this section seemed the most appropriate. I announced on here a couple of months ago that I was pregnant with my first baby and sooo over the moon about it. A few of the usual assholes on this site sent me pms and reps saying that they wished I lost the baby and blah blah blah ... I hope they feel really bad now, I still can't believe they said things like that to me, someone they don't even know.
We went for our scan at 12 weeks and our baby looked fine, was jumping around everywhere and we were so happy. The lady said she wanted a 2nd opinion as the nucal fold looked a little long, then a couple of days later we had a call from my obs saying that we had a 1 in 8 chance of down sydrome and it didn't look good. We were booked in 4 days later to get a needle in my stomach for further testing. Before doing this they did another ultrasound and the baby didn't have a heartbeat. I will never forget the moment where I saw our lifeless baby up the screen, it was heart wrenching and we both burst into tears. Our baby only made it into it's 13th week, but to us it was already part of us which made it even harder. The next day I was taken to have a D&C (a curette to clean out the baby) which was awful, I was asleep the whole time but felt so empty afterwards.
I feel so sorry for anyone who has ever had to go through this (I know there are a lot of you out there, apparently it's a 1 in 5 chance). It really has been the hardest month of my life, but I'm slowly starting to get through it, we can start trying again this month so fingers crossed, even though it's going to be a nerve wracking time waiting for the scans again.
Well, thanks for listening.
