Hi Marie,

I'm so sorry for your apparent loss and the grief you feel over it. I don't think it's abnormal to feel like you'd rather just let nature take it's course and miscarry naturally. If the doctor you saw said that she would let you feel comfortable waiting until Tuesday, and you'd rather do that you should be okay. She saw what was going on and if she was going to allow you to wait, then she wasn't too concerned about a tube rupturing. I can totally understand your feelings of denial/grief and I think it is completely normal to not want to make a split second decision. You have to give your mind a chance to deal with the sad news it has been given. It's never easy. When you speak to your regular OB, let him know how hard this is for you and he may be able to get you in touch with some local groups where you can talk with other women who have gone through this. Maybe there are some on this board who can help you out too. I have never been in your situation, so I can't say that I know what you are going through, but I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Best wishes,

Jenn
