Pregnancy Info HOME

First off I would like to say I am so sorry for everyone's loss. This is not an easy thing to go through.

This was my first pregnancy. I went to the ER monday night with slight bleeding. By the dates of my previous dr's appt's I was 12 weeks and 4 days. After an ultra sound the baby only measured 8 weeks and 2 days but the sac and placenta measured 10 weeks and 4 days. They sent me home from the hospital and made me an appointment with the OB GYN for the next day. After an emotional and sleepless night I went to the ob and she said I had three options..I could wait for the miscarriage to happen naturally ...have a dnc..or i could take misoprostol. Emotionally/Mentally I couldnt wait for it to happen naturally and my appt for the DNC would be in 2 weeks. I was sent home with 4 tablets I was to insert vaginally. The doctor wasnt really clear on what I was to expect so I was clueless on what would happen the next 12 hours. After 2 hours I had mild cramps that was eased with walking..then I had massive diarrhea..about 3 hours from inserting the pills I starting having terrible (actually terrible isnt even the word to describe it) cramps I didnt want to be touched I didnt want my clothes to touch me so I stripped off and sat on the toilet with my legs pulled up to my chest. I starting having very very light bleeding and the doctor said once I started having bleeding I could take a hot shower to ease the pain. After the hot shower I felt like laying on the couch about 20 mins after that my "water broke" and the pain became lighter.30mins after the water I started heavy heavy heavy bleeing about 5 pads every hour for 3 hours..I was extreamly light headed and even had to be carried to the bathroom. The bleeding did lessen but was still more than what my period ever was. The next day I went to the doctor and she said everthing had passed the way it should have. So far it's day 3 and I'm still bleeding more than what a period would have been and still cramping. Even after all the pain physically and emotionally I do not regret taking the pills. I could not have waited..
