Hi my name is Emily,
A week ago I went to have my 12 week scan and book in for my NT scan. As soon as the dr put the doppler on my stomach I knew something was wrong. The baby was about the size I expected but I could not see the heartbeat. He moved it around for about a minute and then he said the words I will never forget..."Things have changed since I last saw you...unfortunately it appears that your baby has stopped developing". I reached out and grabbed my husbands hand. I could tell by the way he was shaking that he was upset.
we went for a proper scan and confirmed that my baby had stopped developing around the 10 week mark. I was devastated. I went home that night and prepared for my D&C the next day.
It all went well and I took last week off work. I have been back at work for 2 days and my bleeding has completely stopped and I am starting to feel normal again.
I guess I just wanted to share my story with people who would understand. My husband and I continue to look towards the future. We are going to ttc as soon as possible. But for the meantime we are just practicing...
I never thought something like this could happen to me and I was definatly not prepared.
I still feel like crying all the time and I struggle to sleep. I feel like it will never get better.
