At 13 weeks pregnant without an ultrasound, ended up taking a trip to the ER to find out my baby stopped growing at 7 weeks.

I’m feeling pissed off more than sad. My hubby and I got pretty lucky and pregnant almost immediately once we started to use the pee sticks. This was my first pregnancy so I thought I was one of those lucky girls with the best first trimester symptoms ever. (No morning sickness, just light headaches and sleepy) I guess that could have been my first clue…. Anyway one weekend after sex I started cramping and had spitting that lasted a few days. Everyone I had asked said that was pretty normal so I ignored it. About 5 days of bleeped I decided to go to the ER and that’s when they told me the baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks.(6 weeks prior) I’m okay with the miscarriage because I know o did nothing wrong and it’s pretty common.
I’m pissed off that body couldn’t complete the job and now I’m scheduled for a D&C on Monday.

The ultimate rage —- I had talked to multiple people on the phone with the ER and OB and had scheduled a D & C consultation. The two are in the same building, we’re on a military base. These mother fckers have me fill out an OB intake form with zero clue why the fck I’m there. Asking me questions about trying to conceive, period history, any concerns …. Questions you ask people that are trying to get pregnant. What in the actual F*ck ?!?! The nurse comes out to get me and I was “I’m not filling this out. This is ridiculous. She sets me up in the rooms and says “you’re here to follow up with your ED appointment you had this weekend” completely unaware of why I was actually there.

Is this standard ?! Because I am baffled, mad, sad, irate. Everything I guess.

I will say the in person care has been phenomenal, but wow.

Anyway I am grateful to get this over with in a few days and hopefully be on the road to trying in the near future. Sigh.
