Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi guys. I have been reading everyone's story, so I decided to post mine as well. Here is my story: Back in Aug 2008 I was 12 weeks pregnant and figured I was past that "Caution" stage, so I was preparing to have a baby (buying stuff). August 30th I was feelings some craps that came and went. So after a few hours of this, my husband took me to the ER where we found out I lost the baby a week earlier (11 weeks). I didn't believe one tech so I went to another ER where two more techs looked at the U/S and even showed me there was no HB. I have an 8 year old daughter so I know what a HB looks like on U/S, so I accepted the fact that our baby was gone. The ER doctor told me to go home and let it happen naturally. I tried but the cramps continued and I couldn't sleep. so, I went back and the doctor gave me some options, but I chose Misoprostol. My husband and I stopped at the store to get the prescription and pain meds and some other supplies. He and I are night owls, so we decided to take the pills as soon as we got home (1am on Sept 1st). I was able to sleep more than I thought I would be able to get. I woke up about 4am with severe cramping and mild bleeding. I passed a few blood clots. I also collected most of them on a piece of toilet paper so i would be able to take it back to the ER so they could run some tests. When i noticed everything i caught was not the fetus, I flushed it. At 7:10am, I passed the fetus. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I collected it, as the Doctor requested. I finally had the guts to look at the fetus and it looked just like a baby. You could see all 10 fingers and toes, nose, where the brain was coming together. It looked so normal. In the end, i didnt have the nerve to take our fetus to the hospital for testing. So, we paid to have our baby cremated. I am just wondering, but what did all of you do with the embryo/fetus? Now, 3 months later, my husband and I discovered we are 5 weeks pregnant. Two nights ago I was having cramping and feared the worst. So, once again my husband and I took that dreadful drive to the ER (where it all began the first time). They did and U/S and said everything looks fine. It was to early to see anything more than just the sac, but she said it looks exactly like it's suppose to at this point. We have an appointment with our OB on Dec. 30th and the ER doctor says by the 30th, we should be able to see the fetus and HB. We are so excited, I will keep everyone updated on what happens. Please keep my husand and I in your prayers. I am sorry for everyone's loss and I feel ya'll pain. Thanks for your time
