13+4weeks old

Baby likely has Turner’s syndrome. Either way, the ultrasound showed hydrops fetalis with tachycardia, so baby is going to die soon. I’ll be booking an therapeutic D&C.

Its fucking cruel that they made me wait 10 days post ultrasound to tell me this. To boot, the longer I wait before the D&C no doubt the harder it will be on me; physically and emotionally. Not to mention my Dr was an absolute cold stone in delivering the news about my ‘conceptus’. Its a fucking baby, you moron, it kicks and wiggles, has arms and legs and has dreams attached to it. Its not a ‘conceptus’.

Oh yeah, and No your office didn’t call me to tell me when my OB/GYNE appointment was. Nobody has told me ANYTHING. So maybe you can get on that, so I can you know, go through something awful as soon as possible so I can start moving on instead of remaining in limbo land, carring a dying baby and having everyone ask me how I’m ‘enjoying’ my pregnancy.

Thanks.

Oh hun, I saw you on the front page. I’m so so so sorry you have to go through this. I can’t imagine how painful this must be for you. I’ve had two D&C’s this year so I know how hard they are. You have my sympathies, and if there is anything I can do to help at all, please let me know xxx

Oh, Heather, I’m so, so sorry. How heartbreaking. And I’m sorry that your doctor was suck a ****up about the whole thing. My heart aches. I’m sending lots of love your way. I’m so sorry you’re going to lose your beloved little baby.

Oh my god. I am so so sorry Heather. I wanted so badly for all those worries to just be worries. I am heartbroken for you that it turned out like this. I wish there was anything at all I could do for you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. *HUGS*
