Just when you thought things couldn't get worse.
This whole experience of losing this baby has been so hard on me emotionally and physically.
As of right now emotionally, I am doing as well as you can expect. I am still angry at losing the baby and ANGRY that there are no answers. I thought I did everything right and I still lost the baby. There will always be a part of me that will blame myself.
On Monday 3/12 to put a "!" on the end of this whole nightmare, my body decided I needed to go into labor. Yep, full on LABOR! I wasn't feeling good over the weekend (3/10-11) and when I got to work Monday, I just felt "off" by 930am I was having bad stomach cramps. By 10am, I was on the phone with my OB begging for stronger drugs. They had me rush in. Smart on their part.
By the time I got to their office, I was bleeding pretty bad and the "cramps" were every 60 seconds. Didn't even dawn on me that I might be in LABOR. Back into an exam room and the doctor comes in.
I am dialated to a 10 and she tells me I am in labor. WHAT THE HELL?????
I have just had a RARE complication of having a D&C. Instead of expelling the blood from the D&C my body decided I needed to keep it for some reason. I had formed a huge blood clot trapped in my uterus, which is apparently what I was attempting to give BIRTH to. I am also the 2nd person in my dr's 15 year practice she has had this happen to. I love to be unique - OK, not this time.
I could either take these special pills that would hopefully fix the problem, or go into emergency surgery. PAINFUL CONTRACTION - yeah, I am going into surgery. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
The blood clot was the size of a closed fist.
Best of all, my boss was out for spring break and it's her and I in the department. I was a little freaked out.
I made it back to work on Wednesday 3/14. EXHAUSTED. I have never felt so tired in all my life.
I make a declaration right here and now that my WHITE flag is officially up! I can't take anymore physically and emotionally. Monday was worse for me than losing the baby. I had a scheduled C-Section with Michael so I have never experienced labor before. I don't like it. There was NOTHING to gain by what happened on Monday.
If I am blessed to have another child I will happily give birth via- SCHEDULED c-section.
The only reason I am able to function is because of this little boy. My husband has been so supportive, but Michael has made me want to keep fighting and keep TRYING.
I LOVE you my Mr. Booglers!
