Is it possible to feel numb about a miscarriage?
After the chemical pregnancy, we miraculously got pregnant again. I have no idea how this happened. Over 2 years of trying unsuccessfully, and then all of a sudden, 3 pregnancies within a year. Maybe once I realized I actually COULD get pregnant, it was game on for those ovaries.
This pregnancy ended at 8 weeks. I was now seeing a reproductive endroconologist because of my age and my history. I really thought this one would stick. Like seriously, no one has 3 miscarriages do they? I now had a great doctor, an RE who specialized in this stuff AND I would get an early ultrasound to calm my worries. I was home free! I even bought a onesie for him....yep, I think this one was a boy.
I threw up for the first time in any of my pregnancies the day of my 8 week ultrasound. I thought this was a good omen. We shuffled off to the hospital with hope and anticipation. I wanted to bring home one of those black and white polaroid looking pictures of my little baby growing inside. I would have posted it on my fridge. Yep, I know that's corny.
Well...you know how it went. Baby stopped growing at 6 weeks. The ultrasound tech said "I'm sorry". My doctor recommend a D and C because of my history. That previous miscarriage didn't go so well. A day later, I was in surgery. I walked out "numb". That's the only way to describe it.
