Missed miscarriage at 10 weeks after girl sway
Hi ladies. I did a girl sway back in June (IG) and got a BFP. Everything was going well although my hcg levels seemed higher than normal so we had a 6 week scan and saw a foetus (just one, they thought maybe multiples) and a heartbeat as well. After the 6 week Mark I started getting severe morning-all day sickness and vomiting so my ob prescribed me zofran (which I was uneasy about taking after what I read when googling it). Then on the exact day of my 10 week Mark I had some spotting and bleeding got a bit more heavier so we went to hospital and had a scan and they said to us that baby measured at 8-9 weeks only and had no heartbeat. It was devastating! I'd had 3 healthy prior pregnancies with no complications and three healthy babies. I had conceived my first at 36, my second at 38 and our 3rd at 40. I was discharged and came home but had to get rushed back to hospital that night as I started to haemorrhage, which was frightening. Blood was just gushing and I'd passed some huge clots (one the size of an apple). I had 2 internals and scrapes to see if they could get rid of the clots and stop the bleeding, but it didn't work. I then had to have an emergency D& C and a blood transfusion (2 bags) the following morning. It was all horrendous and traumatic to say the very least. I thought I was going to bleed to death and I actually passed out in ED whilst waiting for the doctor to come and check me. Anyway, that was in August and it's now the end of October. My iron levels are good again but my immune system is still low and I've been getting a few viruses that have been hard to shake off so am back on multivitamins to help that out. I still feel traumatised by that ordeal but I could possibly try again one last time perhaps in January. I have two boys and am blessed to have at least one little daughter in the middle. But I was certain this last child was a girl I was carrying as well. I'd done a near perfect sway right down to the right moon sign and the EDD was exactly the same as we'd had for our first daughter. The 19th March, only our first daughter had arrived on 12th March. I'd been soooo happy when I was pregnant and felt complete, only to lose it all and feel devastated already. I know it was only a foetus to the doctor and some other people, but to me, it was our baby and maybe a little girl and I had names picked out and was already wondering what she/he was going to look like. A loss is a loss. I also found it difficult to accept that my little foetus had been flushed away down the toilet like some people do with a dead fish. That part really hit me hard. It was awful. I bought myself a silver pendant in the shape of a heart and it's of a mother and baby figure to remind me of the one we lost. I sometimes find myself in the shower still writing her name when the glass fogs up. Perhaps I should be over it by now but I was soooo upset and heartbroken and now it seems like all my friends are pregnant again and I see pregnant women wherever I seem to go. Part of me feels like the zofran caused the miscarriage as I didn't feel right taking it and perhaps I reacted to it as every night I would go to bed feeling extremely thirsty and parched (this was ahappening in the last few weeks of the pregnancy before the miscarriage).
