Miscarriage
After my bout of food poisoning last week, I decided I was well enough to go to work last Thurs. At work, I started to bleed and did not stop. I phoned my midwife. She told me to prepare for the fact that I might have a miscarriage, but there was nothing definitive yet. She said I could wait it out, come in to get my blood drawn the next day, or they could do an ultra sound the next day. I called again as my symptoms were progressing - this was after 5pm. She said she thought I was having a miscarriage. I started to cry. Logged off my phone at work and was trying to process it all. I told the woman in front of me to go get my supervisor. There was suddenly a few people around me and my supervisor said I should go home if I could drive and to let her know what was going on.
I told my husband he should probably go to work, as I'd rather him be with me for the appoinments the following day. I decided to go with having my blood drawn, as I wasn't convinced the ultrasound tech would be super compassionate. They had my pregnancy hormone level drawn from my visit the week before. I also had to have a RhoGAM shot as I am RH negative and the midwife said the baby's blood would probably be foreign to me and I would create antibodies against it. We found out late yesterday afternoon that my pregnancy hormone dropped to 50%. She needs a follow up visit to make sure it goes down to zero.
I have been devastated for the past 4 days. But need to have hope that God wants better things for me.
