a picture sheds a thousand tears (and so many more)

I didn't know how to tell you all this, so I am just posting the picture we got today. Baby has hardly grown since the 8 week scan and there is definately no heartbeat any longer.

I have cried 10,000 tears already. We are just waiting for the surgeon to call us back about when he wants us to come into the hospital for a D&C. There is no doubting the images we saw. Baby is not the size they should be, and the gestational sac is very small. There is definately no heartbeat.

I cried, and told her to just go back and have another look because this is NOT happening to me again. She tried to be nice to us, tried to make us understand but I wouldn't have it - I said "No - this is NOT happening, not again".



please understand if I disappear for a while. I need some time to come to terms with this and get some sanity back. I do hope that picture does not offend anyone. i just wanted to negate the "are you sure" questions. Yes, we are very sure. I even said (although I knew the answer) whether there was any chance at all she was wrong, cause I didn't want to kill my baby. She went over everything with us again - there is no doubt. There is nothing I can do to change things. She said what we listened to on the doppler was not baby's heartbeat - most likely an artery. I told her that I do not regret using a doppler - regardless of what I heard, it calmed me at the time, and that was the aim. I have no regrets.

I'm sorry baby. Mummy tried so hard. I'm sorry.

Oh Bugsy I am SO sorry that this has happened to you. I just want to hug you and protect you from all of this hurt you are going through. I don't know what to say as I know words don't mean very much anyway. Life sucks and you guys do not deserve to have to go through this again. Please know that I am here for you and when you are ready you know where I am if you need to talk.

“There are no words with enough power to comfort you and nothing I can do to change things.
But maybe just knowing that I am here will help.
Take my hand when you feel alone…Walk with me when your heart needs company...Turn to me when you need someone to lean on…
Because I am your friend…Because I will always care”

I recieved this in a card after my last m/c and I want you to know that each and every word is true from me. If you need anything, at all, just holler

biggest cuddles for you

Oh, Bugsy, your post made me cry - we spent years being told we couldn't have a baby but after nearly six, we had a lovely baby girl - I can't even imagine losing her. I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry.
I don't think anyone would have ventured into the "are you sure" territory, knowing how much you wanted this to be successful.
Take care of yourself and just focus on breathing for now. And of course you did everything you could have- OF COURSE.

Just wanted to add in my condolences. I know that nothing I say will help, but just realize one more person out there is mourning your loss today.

I do hope you can find peace with this and will be able to move on to happier events very soon.

Bugsys, I had been hoping that things were going to work this time. My heart breaks, knowing that there isn't anything one could say to make it better. We all love you, and maybe that will make all the difference.

My heart is soooooooooo heavy at the moment.

It has taken me this long to comment as I didn't know what to say or how to say it.

I am so sorry about the loss that you and hubs are going through at the moment.

Love and (((((hugs))))) from all of us over in Tassie especially our little group in Launie.

I'm so sorry Bugsy.

I don't think anyone could be offended by that photograph. That's your child they're beautiful and I'm sorry they're gone.

So very very sorry I was holding so much hope for you.

Bugsy,

I am still in the midst of catching up because we are moving, so I just read your last 20 posts or so. I am so sorry, dear. Many of the emotions you described I felt time and time again, especially the dread of having to "wake up" and realize that your worst dream is real.

If there is anything I can do, I am here. I am saying lots of prayers for you and your husband, as I have before. Hugs . .
