Re: Coping With The Loss of BabyFrom: Jennifer (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon Jan 18 10:49:24 1999
Carole, I'm sorry to hear what happened to you and it just amazes me how much sometimes people take for granted what they do and don't realize until it's too late that life often gives us a chance and it kind of acts as a test for what we will have in the future. I truly believe that God helps us through everything and it was just recently that I have started to have this faith. I have to, sometimes it is all that keeps me going. I have a friend who has had two abortions and still had a child. He's a beautiful three year old, full of excitement and wonder of this world. However, I too have jst had my second miscarriage. My boyfriend of two years and I went to Cuba in October which is where my child was conceived. I was so happy to hear the news. After so long being told my only option to rid myself of pain and agony was a hysterectomy, I had become pregnant. My doctor told me that if I would relax and take it easy I should be all right. I followed his instructions knowing that this was a true gift, a child, after knowing that my one fallopian tube was completely blocked and the other was was eighty percent blocked, I had surpassed the odds. We were very excited, until last week when I started having breakthrough bleeding and severe pain. I went to the doctor and he immediately sent me for a blood test to ensure I was still pregnant. He said he wanted me to go for another ultrasound the next day. I went to work in the morning and made the appointment. My assistant then called in and said she was sick. I had to cancel my appointment and reschedule for the next day. I did that. The clinic called back and cancelled on me due to the fact that I live in south-western Ontario, Canada and we were expecting a huge snow storm, the clinic would be closed. They moved my ultrasound until this afternoon. The snow didn't even come until late Thursday, I could have had that appointment and possibly still had this child. I lost my baby on Saturday night while trying to spend a relaxing weekend at my boss' chalet. I can't believe this has happened and truly am devestated right now. I had to tell my assistant not to even bother coming in this week. I couldn't let her know why but somehow I blame her for this happening. I know she wasn't sick, the roads were bad and she didn't want to come to work. I don't think she realized what importance that day had on the rest of my life. I am literally lost right now and I feel horrible for anyone else that knows this pain. If anyone who reads this has any suggestions on how to cope, can you please help. I feel I need some support and can't do it on my own. Thank You Jennifer Get your FREE Email at http://mailcity.lycos.com Get your PERSONALIZED START PAGE at http://personal.lycos.com
